What this job asks for AI summary
A hands-on engineering leadership role at Citi responsible for owning the technical strategy and multi-year roadmap for a Cash & Intraday Liquidity Management platform. The role combines direct architectural and coding involvement — microservices, distributed systems, cloud-native infrastructure — with building and managing a globally distributed engineering organization. Candidates should be comfortable making high-stakes design decisions while also developing engineering talent across multiple geographies.

Why we read it this way (6)
The title 'VP' at Citi is a job grade, not a people-management executive title — the posting explicitly frames this as a hands-on technical leader who 'can build', making the 11-3021 vs 15-1252 classification genuinely ambiguous. 11-3021 was chosen because the role also requires building and managing a global engineering organization with direct reports.
The advertised seniority is mapped to Principal based on the VP title and org-wide platform ownership framing, but the actual experience requirements (6+ years total, 4+ years enterprise) are consistent with a Senior-level role on a standard career ladder.
The 6-year minimum for leading globally distributed engineering teams is stated as a separate requirement alongside the 6-year overall engineering experience floor — both are captured in the overall years minimum at the lower bound.
AI coding assistants (Copilot, Devin, Claude Code) are listed under required skills; GitHub Copilot is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives since they serve the same function.
Public cloud is mentioned in the required stack ('public cloud') but no specific provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) is named, so no cloud-provider skill was emitted.
Agile is referenced as a required delivery framework but names no specific tooling, so it was omitted per the no-generic-methodology rule.
