About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You’ll shape the team’s technical excellence by driving sound architectural decisions, raising engineering standards, and ensuring our systems are resilient, scalable, and easy to evolve.
Your influence will streamline development workflows, reduce friction, and create an environment where engineers can move quickly without compromising quality.
You’ll strengthen our operational readiness by improving incident playbooks, observability, and team preparedness.
Through clear communication and structured planning, you’ll enable predictable delivery, better alignment with stakeholders, and a culture of continuous improvement.
Your leadership will directly improve reliability, developer experience, and long-term product stability.
You will lead a team of around 4–6 software engineers, balancing hands-on technical leadership (about 40%, including coding and technical decisions) with people management, planning, and delivery execution.
Working effectively with product managers, other engineers and business stakeholders on projects.
Guide the team toward pragmatic architectural choices that balance scalability, security, cost, and simplicity.
Establish and reinforce coding standards, patterns, and best practices through thoughtful code reviews and documentation.
Identify workflow bottlenecks and drive improvements to tooling, automation, local environments, and CI/CD pipelines.
Maintain clear, actionable incident playbooks and improve monitoring and alerting to reduce noise and increase confidence.
Break down work into well scoped increments and support predictable delivery through strong planning and risk management.
Champion reliability by ensuring services meet SLOs, have meaningful observability, and undergo effective post incident improvement.
Automate manual or repetitive processes to increase engineering efficiency and reduce operational toil.
Communicate technical decisions, risks, and trade-offs clearly to Product and cross functional partners.
Ensure engineering governance controls, testing requirements, and stage gates are consistently followed.
