From Athene's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
We are driven to do more. More for our customers and the financial professionals who offer our products. If you are driven to do more and love the challenge of pursuing more, Athene is your kind of company. You will find we offer more than the basics to create an inclusive and dynamic work environment at our various locations.
Vitera is transforming how retirement savings become reliable lifetime income. We bring together technology, product design, and some of the largest organizations in financial services to make guaranteed lifetime income more accessible within defined contribution plans. As part of the broader Athene and Apollo ecosystem, Vitera combines the speed, ownership, and creativity of a growing technology business with the scale, resources, and market reach of leading financial services organizations.
As AVP, Engineering & Technical Product Owner, you will lead Vitera's Software Engineering and QA teams while shaping the architecture, technical direction, and delivery of the applications powering our business, including the VDX data exchange platform and Pricing Engine.
Reporting directly to the CTO, this is a highly visible, hands-on leadership opportunity for someone who can move comfortably between people leadership, architecture, product ownership, and software engineering—and who is excited to use AI to rethink how technology teams build and deliver.
Lead, empower, and develop the engineering organization, including Software Engineering and QA, creating an inclusive, high-accountability environment where people have ownership, experiment thoughtfully, grow their capabilities, and deliver meaningful business outcomes.
Own technical architecture and engineering direction across Vitera's application portfolio, making sound decisions on platform design, technology selection, engineering standards, AWS infrastructure, CI/CD, scalability, security, and technical debt.
Drive end-to-end product and engineering delivery, owning the backlog and SDLC from requirements and architecture through development, testing, release, and production deployment while partnering with the CTO and business stakeholders to shape the technology roadmap.
Remain meaningfully hands-on, contributing code and technical solutions when needed while helping the team solve complex problems, move quickly through ambiguity, and continuously improve engineering practices.
Accelerate AI-enabled engineering, championing responsible use of AI-assisted development, code review, testing and QA automation, bug detection, and operational monitoring while helping the broader Vitera organization identify high-value applications of AI.
Act like an owner for technology performance and risk, communicating delivery status, critical paths, and risks to Vitera leadership while supporting SOC 2 and SDLC governance, release management, vendor coordination, and technology budget planning.
