About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the technical health of our platform — ensuring it’s stable, that our engineering practices are consistent and high-quality, and that we’re continuously removing friction for our engineers, our business, and our partners
Be embedded in feature delivery alongside our domain teams, contributing to the product we’re building day to day
Drive the standards and practices that make our systems reliable and observable, and lead response when issues arise
Identify where practices diverge across our portfolio of 30+ services and establish clear, pragmatic standards that teams adopt
Proactively identify and address structural inefficiencies, technical risk, and developer experience friction before they become crises
Maintain a clear view of where our platform needs to be in 12–18 months and translate that into an incremental, executable path
Act as a technical leader without authority, providing guidance to other engineers

Requirements

What you’ll need

7+ years building production software, with meaningful experience across both frontend and backend systems
A track record of improving engineering practices at an organisational level — not just within a single team
Deep experience with TypeScript and JavaScript in production environments
Strong command of observability — logging, metrics, alerting, and distributed tracing — and experience making systems meaningfully more observable
Experience designing and evolving APIs and integration patterns at scale (REST and/or event-driven)
Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure — we run on AWS (ECS Fargate, Lambda, SQS, EventBridge ) — and the ability to reason about reliability, performance, and cost trade-offs
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and the discipline to maintain them as a first-class engineering concern
Comfort working with relational and NoSQL databases (we use PostgreSQL and DynamoDB)
