* Guide the design and delivery of architectural improvements, shared tooling, and platform capabilities that improve developer velocity.
* Own and evolve the technical roadmap for the team, balancing short-term impact with long-term architectural health.
* Ensure high engineering standards, strong design practices, and operational excellence across all delivered solutions.
* Promote scalable, reusable solutions that unlock productivity across the wider engineering organisation.

What will you bring to the team?

* Proven experience leading and growing high-performing engineering teams.
* Strong background in software engineering with experience in backend and platform development.
* Experience working on complex, large-scale, or legacy systems.
* Ability to work effectively across multiple teams and domains to drive alignment and execution.
* Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to balance technical depth with organisational impact.
* A mindset focused on scalability, automation, and building reusable, self-service solutions.
* Experience addressing cross-cutting technical challenges such as architecture evolution, platform reliability, or developer productivity.
