About the Role

We are seeking a Vice President to join our Product Engineering group. This senior individual contributor role is crucial for building the next-generation platform for Oaktree's credit business, a key investment strategy. The role involves hands-on, daily coding to build data-intensive applications, manage data pipelines, and create user interfaces for investment professionals, aiming to scale the credit business and enhance investment professional effectiveness.

Responsibilities

Build and own critical components of the credit platform end-to-end, from data pipelines and services to user-facing applications.
Design and implement performant, reliable, and evolving data-intensive applications, including ingestion pipelines, transformation layers, analytical engines, and APIs.
Contribute to modernizing Oaktree's technology stack, shaping platform evolution, advocating for experienced-based approaches, and informing technical decisions.
Collaborate directly with business stakeholders and investment professionals to understand goals, workflows, and pain points, translating them into high-value engineering work.
Act as the de facto product owner for platform areas, prioritizing work, defining MVPs, running experiments, iterating quickly, and making trade-off decisions based on user value and business impact.
Apply generative AI thoughtfully across work to enhance development velocity, improve code quality, augment analytical capabilities, and build AI-powered features, ensuring rigor in validation, transparency, and responsible use.
Mentor and elevate engineers through design and code reviews, setting a high standard for craft and ownership.
Implement modern development and release practices, including CI/CD, feature flags, automated testing, and observability.
Champion data-driven experimentation and continuous feedback loops, using telemetry and analytics to inform product and engineering decisions.
Clearly communicate trade-offs to both technical and business audiences, framing engineering decisions in terms of outcomes.

Requirements

10+ years of experience in software engineering with a proven track record of building and owning data-intensive systems in production.
Daily coding expectation and ability to maintain this practice.
Proven success as a senior individual contributor or staff/principal engineer in complex domains like financial services, infrastructure, or data platforms.
Strong computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, concurrency, distributed systems, and performance.
Deep expertise in designing systems for processing, transforming, and serving large data volumes, including data modeling, pipeline architecture, storage trade-offs, and query performance.
Proficiency in Python and at least one statically typed, compiled language (e.g., C#/.NET, C++, Java, Scala, Go).
Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and modern cloud-native patterns (microservices, event-driven architectures, containerization, infrastructure as code).
Comfort operating without a traditional PM structure, engaging directly with stakeholders, navigating ambiguity, prioritizing independently, and owning outcomes from problem definition to delivery.
Strong product instinct, connecting technical execution with user needs and business outcomes.
Skilled at mentoring engineers and influencing without authority.
Excellent communication skills, comfortable discussing technical details with engineers and strategic priorities with business leaders.
