About Mobility Global 
S&P Global has recently announced the intent to separate our Mobility Segment into a standalone public company.  

Role Summary 

The Software Engineer Lead will own and drive major corporate platform initiatives—modernizing and enhancing core enterprise systems, migrating platforms and workloads, and consolidating tools/technology stacks to improve reliability, security, scalability, and cost-efficiency. Working with the Heads of Corporate Platform teams and the functional business owners, you will lead technical delivery end-to-end: architecture, execution, quality, and operational readiness. 

Key Responsibilities 

Technical Leadership & Delivery 

• Lead the technical strategy and execution for platform enhancement, migration, and consolidation programs (e.g., application rationalization, shared services adoption, legacy retirement). 

• Own end-to-end delivery: requirements discovery, solution design, implementation, testing, cutover, and post-migration stabilization. 

• Set engineering direction through reference architectures, patterns, standards, and guardrails (performance, resiliency, observability, security). 

• Drive technical decision-making with a bias for measurable outcomes (availability, latency, cost, deployment frequency, incident reduction). 

Architecture, Modernization, and Consolidation 

• Design solutions to reduce duplication across corporate systems, including consolidation of services, data stores, CI/CD pipelines, and operational tooling. 

• Guide modernization efforts such as service decomposition, API standardization, event-driven patterns, and cloud/platform adoption where appropriate. 

• Lead integration strategies across identity, access, data, and enterprise applications. 

Migration & Cutover Excellence 

• Define migration approaches (rehost, replatform, refactor) and execute with minimal downtime and risk. 

• Create and run cutover plans, including rollback strategies, runbooks, verification checklists, and stakeholder communications. 

• Manage data migration planning: mapping, transformation, validation, reconciliation, and retention/compliance considerations. 

Engineering Management (Technical Lead Scope) 

• Lead a team of engineers (directly or matrixed): provide technical guidance, unblock delivery, and uphold high engineering standards. 

• Own code quality practices: design reviews, code reviews, test strategy, and technical documentation. 

• Mentor engineers; build a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and operational ownership.
