  • Stay hands-on technically, contributing to code reviews, design discussions, and occasionally coding to set quality standards and unblock complex work.
  • Ensure engineering excellence by driving sound practices in testing, monitoring, and security, aligned with the bank’s risk and compliance standards.

  • Foster a culture of accountability and ownership, helping the team make pragmatic, timely decisions and continuously improve ways of working.
