Responsibilities

• Lead, develop, and retain a high‑performing team of senior engineers.
• Set clear expectations, run effective 1:1s, and provide candid feedback.

• Drive delivery outcomes across scope, quality, pace, and predictability.
• Translate product roadmaps into clear, actionable engineering plans.
• Remove blockers quickly to maintain momentum and delivery pace.
• Uphold high engineering standards across code quality, architecture, and CI/CD.
• Contribute to architecture decisions and promote scalable, reusable design.
• Champion GCP‑first, API‑first, microservices, and AI‑native approaches.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams to ensure compliant, aligned, and on‑track delivery.
• Report to the Director of Engineering, Platform & AI and act as the voice of the Engineering pillar in cross‑functional forums.
• Work closely with Security, GRC, Legal, and external partners to keep delivery compliant and unblocked.

• 25 days annual leave with the option to purchase 5 more days.
