Overview

This is a remote role open for multiple markets across the United States.

At First Citizens Bank we’re in the midst of a bold digital transformation—simplifying, consolidating, and modernizing the way we serve our customers. We’re evolving toward a foundational North Star Architecture that enables us to scale smarter, move faster, and deliver experiences that truly differentiate us in the market.

This is not business-as-usual. We’re reimagining our digital banking platform from the ground up—rethinking how channels connect, how technology supports growth, and how teams collaborate to deliver with speed and purpose. Few get the chance to help shape something this foundational. This is your opportunity to be part of a once-in-a-career journey, building what’s next while staying grounded in the impact we create today.

They must be able to move at a rapid rate of execution to deliver requests and take advantage of any opportunities as they present themselves and navigate through any resource constraints. They must have both the short- and long-term strategic view when deciding on the best technical approach. They must be able to develop code and effectively oversee distributed development team members.
