  • Champion engineering efficiency, code quality, and platform optimisation to support rapid product innovation.

  • Oversee system performance, scalability, and resilience, ensuring production stability and customer trust.

  • Lead adoption of modern architectures (cloud-native, microservices, API-first) and engineering toolchains.

4) Cross-Functional Leadership & Stakeholder Management

  • Act as a key partner to senior leadership in shaping technology strategy and investment priorities.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Data, Commercial, and Operations teams to deliver integrated solutions.

  • Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders and executive leadership.

  • Serve as a bridge between product vision and engineering execution.

  • Strong experience in modern architecture patterns (cloud-native, microservices, APIs, data platforms).

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field; advanced degree (MBA or equivalent) is a plus.
