Why this role is important to us

The Principal Value Stream Engineer – Front Office, is a senior individual contributor embedded in the SimCorp One Value Stream. This role owns the adoption and scalability of standard of Front Office (FO) workflows—spanning portfolio construction, order & execution, allocations/confirmations, and pre-/post-trade compliance—to accelerate client onboarding while ensuring consistently high-quality outcomes. You think end-to-end across the whole value chain (Select → Onboard → Operate), align ways of working to Scaled Agile principles and DevOps practices, and apply an engineering/build mindset to turn standards into shippable, versioned, and observable assets that scale across teams. You partner with the VMO, Programme/Project Managers, SaaS and MBS Outcomes teams, Solution Owners/Architects, Client Operations and Service Operations so the value chain runs as a single standardized flow. You drive reuse over reinvention, minimize deviations, and use flow metrics and telemetry to remove systemic blockers and continuously improve delivery.

What you will be responsible for

• Champion adoption of the Front Office Standard Kit and make it the default across engagements, maximizing reuse over reinvention.
• Treat Front Office standards as products—versioned, documented, instrumented, and distributed via CI/CD with clear deprecation paths and change notes.
• Work closely with the SimCorp One Value Stream Architect to estimate Front Office onboarding projects and ensure solution designs are scalable, efficient, and aligned with value stream standards.
• Contribute Front Office content to demo environments to showcase standard capabilities and accelerate adoption.
• Design for operations from day one—co-develop runbooks, monitoring/telemetry, SLIs/SLOs, and change/incident models with Client Operations and Service Operations.
• Establish a single engagement cadence for FO scope; maintain decisions, risks, dependencies, and escalations in the agreed governance forums.
• Use valuestream flow metrics and VMO dashboards to identify bottlenecks, remove systemic blockers, and codify improvements back into standards.
• Coach and align teams to Scaled Agile and DevOps principles (lean flow, cadence, synchronization, trunk-based development, automated testing, progressive delivery).
• Leverage Azure DevOps toolchains and telemetry so standards are built, verified, packaged, and measured consistently across environments.

What we value

Most importantly, you can see yourself contributing and thriving in the position described above. How you gained the skills needed for doing that is less important. We expect you to be proficient in several of the following skills and be able to - and interested in - learning the rest.

• Standardization & Product Management

• Collaboration & Stakeholder Management

• Operational Excellence

Skills in designing for operations from the start, including developing runbooks, monitoring, telemetry, and incident/change management models.

Ability to coach and align teams to Scaled Agile and DevOps principles, including lean flow, synchronization, trunk-based development, automated testing, and progressive delivery.

• Technical Proficiency in CI/CD & Observability
