About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Product & Technical Leadership – Define and track OKRs in collaboration with Product and Design, ensuring alignment with strategic goals. Balance feature development with addressing technical debt and improving system health in a well structured Agile process. Guide thoughtful adoption of AI tooling to efficiently deliver secure, high quality engineering work at scale.
- Technical Oversight – Guide technical discovery, review designs and architecture decisions, and contribute to development when necessary to support the team’s success.
- Team Development – Mentor and grow engineers of varying seniority through regular 1:1s, career development plans, and structured feedback. Foster a culture of engagement, ownership, and technical excellence.
- Cross-functional Collaboration – Work closely with Product and Design to ensure technical feasibility, maintain high-quality standards, and deliver impactful solutions.
- Engineering Standards & Best Practices – Help define and implement engineering standards across teams, ensuring consistency in quality, performance, and reliability.
- Operational Excellence – Monitor and maintain engineering health metrics (SLOs, error rates, cycle time, operational costs) to drive improvements in processes, system performance and reliability.
- Incident Management & On-call Processes – Oversee incident response, and post-mortems, ensuring effective resolution and long-term fixes for recurring issues.
- Continuous Improvement – Drive enhancements in development workflows, testing practices, CI/CD pipelines, and overall engineering efficiency.
Requirements
What you’ll need- Engineering Leadership Experience – Proven experience leading a team of engineers in a high-growth or complex product environment, with a focus on mentorship, team development, and fostering a strong engineering culture.
- Scalability & System Design – Deep understanding of designing, building, and maintaining scalable web applications, APIs, and distributed systems, ideally in a SaaS or cloud-based environment.
- Technical Expertise – Strong knowledge of modern backend and frontend technologies, system performance optimisation, and architectural best practices for high-traffic applications.
- Balancing Business & Engineering Priorities – Ability to make strategic trade-offs between feature development, technical debt, and operational improvements, and to articulate a clear, data driven business case for decisions you make.
- Cross-functional Collaboration – Experience working closely with Product, Design, and other engineering teams to align on goals, manage dependencies, and deliver high-quality solutions.
- Operational Focus – Familiarity with monitoring, incident response, and maintaining service reliability at scale, including working with SLOs, observability platforms, and optimising for cost efficiency.
- Process & Best Practices – Knowledge of modern software development workflows, including CI/CD, testing strategies, and iterative improvement of engineering processes.
- Strong Communication & Influence – Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- **Bonus Skills (Nice to Haves)**
- - We use React, Typescript, Python, and Postgres, experience with these, or similar, is a big plus.
