Morgan Stanley is seeking a Developer/Engineer to accelerate SDLC modernization by working hands-on with developers from across the bank to enable their successful migration to specific modern developer tooling and leveraging the experience gained in the process to collaborate with the modern platform teams on improving their products.
Responsibilities

You'll not only identify opportunities for optimization but also prototype creative solutions, validate them through proof-of-concepts, and lead the journey from PoC to production, including onboarding and enabling teams to adopt your solutions at scale.
This is a highly visible role where you will likely be presenting to senior leadership on your findings and insights with these solutions so you should be comfortable identifying and using data to evidence success and being able to clearly and concisely present these insights.
