About the role
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of software engineers, promoting a collaborative and inclusive team culture; conduct regular one-to-ones, performance reviews, and career development conversations.
- Own delivery planning and execution: work with product owners to translate priorities into clear roadmaps, sprint plans, and measurable outcomes; manage dependencies and risks to ensure timely delivery.
- Drive technical direction and architectural decisions in partnership with senior engineers and architects; balance short-term delivery needs with long-term maintainability and scalability.
- Establish and uphold engineering best practices including code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and release processes to maintain high quality and reliability.
- Collaborate with product, design, security, and operations teams to define requirements, acceptance criteria, and operational readiness for new features and platform changes.
- Manage team capacity and recruitment: contribute to hiring, onboarding, and retention strategies to build a diverse and effective engineering organization.
- Monitor team performance against goals and metrics (e.g., delivery predictability, cycle time, service reliability) and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
- Ensure secure development practices and compliance with relevant policies; collaborate with security and IT teams on threat modeling, vulnerability remediation, and secure deployments.
- Represent the engineering teams in stakeholder meetings, providing clear status updates, trade-off discussions, and escalation where necessary.

- Strong people management skills: coaching, feedback, performance management, and career development; commitment to building inclusive teams and supporting diverse talent.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical colleagues and senior leadership.
- Good problem-solving and prioritisation skills, demonstrating sound judgement in balancing delivery, technical debt, and team wellbeing.
- Awareness of information security principles and software supply chain risks, and experience incorporating security practices into development lifecycles.
