You will set and guide technical direction, ensuring solutions are modular, scalable and resilient, while continuously improving system architecture and performance.
You will be hands‑on in promoting and demonstrating engineering best practices, including test‑driven or behaviour‑driven development, continuous integration and high‑quality code reviews. You will support sprint planning and roadmap development, providing clear visibility of progress to both internal and external stakeholders.
Working closely with Product Owners, BI Developers, Compliance and Operational Marketing teams, you will help translate customer and business requirements into effective technical solutions. You will ensure regulatory considerations are embedded into platform design, enabling customers to use our products responsibly. You will also mentor and coach engineers, creating an autonomous team environment where people are supported to grow, learn new technologies and deliver their best work.
What We Are Looking For
Strong technical leader with a solid engineering background and demonstrable experience managing highly skilled software engineering teams.
Hands‑on development experience, comfortable writing, testing and releasing high‑quality JavaScript and Node.js code, and designing and maintaining cloud infrastructure using infrastructure‑as‑code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
Deep understanding of software design, system architecture, algorithms and performance, along with experience building commercial web, backend and cloud‑based solutions.
Confidence working in Agile environments and applying modern product development lifecycle practices from prototyping through to delivery.
Effective people manager with excellent communication skills, the ability to motivate, coach and influence others; proactive, “can‑do” mindset, challenging existing approaches and continuously looking for better, more innovative ways to deliver high‑quality software.
