We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Senior Vice President, Application Development Manager to join our Enterprise Data & Solutions Engineering team. This role is located in Lake Mary, Florida.

This is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced application development manager who can provide technical direction, actively contribute to solution design and engineering delivery, and lead a small team of engineers building modern Java-based, AI-enabled enterprise platforms.

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:

• Lead the design, development, and delivery of scalable, secure, and performant backend services using Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, and microservices architecture. 
• Serve as a hands-on technical leader, contributing to architecture, design reviews, code reviews, complex problem-solving, and delivery of critical platform capabilities. 
• Manage, mentor, and coach a small team of 5–10 engineers, providing technical direction, delivery oversight, prioritization, and career development support. 
• Own end-to-end delivery across the software development lifecycle, from requirements and design through development, testing, deployment, production support, and continuous improvement. 
• Design, build, and test AI agents and LLM-based AI solutions using in-house AI platforms, Python, RAG, prompt engineering, and agentic frameworks. 
• Drive adoption of AI code-assist technologies such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Windsurf, or similar tools to improve productivity, quality, and delivery speed. 
• Define technical direction, architecture guardrails, reusable patterns, and operational KPIs for reliability, security, scalability, performance, and maintainability. 
• Partner with DevOps, SRE, architecture, product, and business stakeholders to optimize CI/CD pipelines, observability, incident response, and operational resilience. 
• Implement structured logging using SLF4J and Log4j, and integrate applications with enterprise monitoring and logging platforms such as Splunk, ELK, or equivalent tools. 
• Apply test-driven development and behavior-driven development practices using JUnit, Mockito, Cucumber, and related testing frameworks.
• Ensure engineering quality, security, and compliance through automated testing, TDD/BDD practices, SonarQube, Veracode, secure coding, and peer review. 
• Lead system-level thinking across services, data, integration, observability, controls, and operational workflows to deliver sustainable, business-aligned solutions. 
• Foster a culture of engineering excellence, accountability, innovation, inclusion, continuous learning, and hands-on problem solving.

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent work experience required. 

• 10+ years of software development experience
