  • Acting as the technical authority, providing guidance and solutions to complex engineering challenges

  • Designing and evolving delivery frameworks, ensuring products and services are built to scale securely

  • Creating and maintaining technology standards, while balancing pragmatism with best practice

  • Leading engineering teams through change, release cycles, and product delivery

  • Working closely with stakeholders across IT, Security, and Operations to align priorities

  • Mentoring and inspiring junior engineers, embedding a culture of quality and continuous improvement

    Essential experience

  • Strong knowledge of coding concepts and modern engineering practices

  • Cloud expertise (AWS preferred) with infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform/CloudFormation)

  • Containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)

  • Modern development frameworks (React, Node.js, Next.js, Python)

  • Databases such as DynamoDB, MongoDB, or RDS

  • CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions)

  • Identity and access management (SSO, federated identity, Okta)

  • Exposure to high‑availability architectures, monitoring, and troubleshooting

  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non‑technical stakeholders

    If you’re excited by the idea of leading technical direction while staying close to the engineering detail, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and let’s start the conversation
