About the Role

BlackRock’s Post Trade & Accounting group is seeking a Vice President-level engineering leader to advance our enterprise Client Reporting platform. This role encompasses technical leadership, system design, and direct coding responsibilities, enabling the development of robust, event-driven platforms that deliver reliable solutions for institutional and Aladdin clients globally.

You will lead development of core platform capabilities across distributed services and data systems, shaping long-term architecture for a mission-critical platform where scale, accuracy, resiliency, and auditability are essential. You will also partner across product and operations to drive modernization, automation, and AI-enabled engineering practices.

About the Team

The Client Reporting team delivers and manages BlackRock’s enterprise Client Reporting platform, providing end-to-end reporting solutions for a diverse global base of accounting and institutional clients. We oversee the full lifecycle of report production and distribution—ensuring quality, scalability, and operational excellence through advanced QC workflows, exception management tools (including the Aladdin dashboard), and robust monitoring frameworks.

The team manages reporting inventory and KPIs, supports both standardized and highly customized data sets, and enables access to reporting-ready data through digital portals and reporting libraries. We also power a dynamic self-service experience, offering secure document delivery via API, SFTP, and Secure Links, along with flexible tools for client-driven report configuration and branding.

By owning the critical systems and processes behind client reporting, the team plays a central role in shaping client experience, driving automation and innovation, and delivering scalable, resilient solutions for industry-leading clients.

What You’ll Do

• Lead development, architecture, and design of distributed, event-driven systems (Java/Python)
• Evolve scalable microservices and API-first platforms aligned to enterprise strategy
• Architect high-throughput data systems integrating SQL/NoSQL, streaming, and caching technologies
• Drive performance, resiliency, observability, and production excellence
• Provide full-stack technical leadership across backend and frontend (Angular/React)
• Translate complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions and executable roadmaps
• Manage stakeholders and lead global teams to deliver against strategic milestones
• Lead adoption of AI-assisted SDLC practices (Copilot, Claude, Windsurf, etc.)
• Design safe and scalable LLM integration patterns (prompt engineering, structured outputs, streaming, tool/function calling)
• Architect multi-step or agent-based workflows (e.g., LangChain, Google ADK or equivalent)
• Define shared prompts, agent contracts, and AI governance standards across teams
