Vice President Norm Reeves Jobs in Alpine, CA (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
Axos Bank is a federally chartered, digital-first bank with over $28B in assets and no physical branches. The Senior Vice President of Engineering Delivery & Excellence is responsible for leading the product delivery organization across software development, quality assurance, and business analysis, ensuring predictable delivery and high-quality customer-facing experiences.
Responsibilities:
• Lead, develop, and hold accountable senior development and engineering leaders and their organizations, collectively responsible for software delivery across all Axos customer-facing platforms.
• Own delivery predictability as an organizational capability — improve the cadences, rituals, and accountability structures that make on-time, on-scope delivery the norm.
• Define and operate cross-team dependency management: surface coupling risks proactively across co-dependent platforms and resolve conflicts before they become delivery failures.
• Build and maintain engineering culture, career frameworks, and talent standards across development, QA, and BA disciplines, in partnership with HR and the Centers of Excellence.
• Lead project rescue missions to ensure key projects are restored to health from a budget and timeline perspective through proactive monitoring and active intervention when required.
• Lead Axos’ maturation to an agentic software development lifecycle — moving beyond AI-assisted coding to autonomous agents that participate actively in building, testing, reviewing, and shipping software.
• Define and execute the multi-year agentic SDLC roadmap, including agent-driven code generation, self-healing test automation, intelligent PR review, automated requirement decomposition, and pipeline orchestration.
• Measure the impact of agentic tooling in delivery terms: cycle time, defect escape rate, engineer throughput, and time-to-production — not adoption percentages.
• Evaluate, select, and integrate AI and agentic tooling in partnership with the Centers of Excellence, ensuring adoption is scalable, secure, and compliant with regulatory requirements.
• Set and enforce the engineering quality bar for all customer-facing platforms across Consumer, SMB, Commercial, Wealth, and Securities segments.
• Own performance standards for all customer-facing products — zero-latency response times, reliability SLAs, accessibility compliance, and UX consistency are delivery criteria, not aspirational targets.
• Build QA into the delivery pipeline as a continuous, automated function — not a gate at the end. Champion shift-left testing and AI-augmented quality practices across all teams.
• Establish and track customer-facing performance benchmarks, using data to drive engineering investment decisions and communicate quality posture to executive stakeholders.
• Provide strategic input on platform architecture and capability investment — anticipating where today’s technical decisions create tomorrow’s delivery constraints, and building executive alignment around the investments required to get ahead of them.
• Ensure the right technologies, platforms, and solutions are leveraged to deliver zero latency applications that scale and support 24x7 uptime.
• Anticipate the platform and tooling infrastructure required to support agentic SDLC at scale within a regulated banking environment, and partner with technology leadership to fund and sequence those investments.
• Maintain a 12–24 month delivery capacity outlook that informs product roadmap feasibility and organizational planning.
• Partner with the cross functional leaders to ensure shared capabilities — architecture, DevOps, security, QE tooling, and agentic infrastructure — are road mapped to support and accelerate line team delivery.
• Collaborate with the product leadership organization to create a planning model where engineering constraints and AI-enabled delivery capacity are upstream inputs to roadmap decisions.
• Represent engineering in executive and board-level conversations: translate delivery health, technical risk, and capability investment needs into business terms.
• Partner with Risk, Compliance, and Information Security to ensure agentic and AI-driven delivery practices meet regulatory standards appropriate for a federally chartered bank.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 15+ years of engineering leadership experience, including direct leadership of large-scale development, QA, and/or business analysis organizations (500+ people).
• Demonstrated track record of building or transforming delivery operating models at scale — measurable improvements in velocity, predictability, or quality that can be attributed to organizational and process changes you led.
• Hands-on experience with AI and agentic tooling in the SDLC: has moved beyond AI-assisted development to deploying autonomous or semi-autonomous agents in testing, code review, or requirements workflows.
• Deep expertise building and operating customer-facing digital products where performance, latency, and experience quality are primary engineering concerns.
• Experience in a regulated industry with direct accountability for delivery practices that meet compliance and audit requirements.
• Proven ability to lead through SVP-level peers and influence without direct authority across large, matrixed engineering organizations.
Preferred:
• OutSystems: practical experience building enterprise-grade applications on the OutSystems— architecture patterns, performance tuning, integration design, and ODC vs. O11 tradeoffs.
• Background in financial services, fintech, digital banking, payments, or wealth management technology.
• Experience managing business analysis as an organizational function, with an understanding of how BA quality upstream affects delivery quality downstream.
• Familiarity with agentic frameworks and autonomous pipeline tooling (e.g., agent-based test generation, LLM-in-the-loop PR review, autonomous deployment validation).
• Experience managing delivery across co-dependent, multi-platform environments where release sequencing and dependency management are first-class engineering concerns.
