Requirements
- Background as a software engineer, with hands-on experience building and shipping production systems
- Experience managing a team of engineers, with a track record of building effective development processes and growing individual contributors
- Technically credible enough to evaluate design decisions, challenge assumptions, and be taken seriously by strong engineers
- Comfortable with operational ownership: on-call culture, incident management, postmortems, and the unglamorous work of keeping systems healthy
- Clear, direct communication with stakeholders and leadership
- Able to operate with meaningful autonomy
- Experience in fintech, payments, or a similarly regulated and high-stakes technical domain (nice to have)
- Familiarity with distributed systems and the trade-offs that come with high-throughput, high-availability infrastructure (nice to have)
Responsibilities
- Lead a team of engineers owning a defined area of software architecture, taking responsibility for delivery, quality, and technical direction
- Run an effective development process: sprint health, delivery cadence, incident response, postmortems, and a sustainable on-call rotation
- Grow the engineers on your team through regular feedback, performance conversations, and stretch assignments
- Work closely with product to scope initiatives, identify risks, and prioritise deliverables
- Stay close enough to your team's technical work to ask the right questions, spot risks early, and contribute meaningfully to design discussions
- Define the right metrics for your team's systems, use them to explain performance, catch variance, and drive improvements
- Handle the difficult conversations, whether that's performance issues, interpersonal friction, or delivery risk
