Key Responsibilities

• 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.

Essential Skills and Experience

• Proven experience managing software engineering teams in a product or platform environment, with a track record of delivering complex software projects.
• Strong technical background in software development (for example: cloud-native architectures, microservices, APIs, or modern web/mobile stacks) and the ability to engage in technical discussions with engineers.
• Familiarity with modern development practices and tooling: agile methodologies, CI/CD, automated testing, code review workflows, and observability tools.
• Experience with cloud platforms (for example: Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud) and designing for scalability, resilience, and security.
• 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.
