Responsibilities
- Lead and manage a team of engineers across frontend, backend and full stack development
- Own engineering delivery for major product areas, ensuring the team ships quickly without compromising reliability and technical quality
- Work closely with product, design, mobile, backend and AI teams to turn ambiguous product problems into clear technical execution
- Drive technical architecture and engineering decisions across APIs, databases, integrations, infrastructure and customer-facing systems
- Set engineering standards around code quality, system design, testing, observability, security and production reliability
- Stay close to the technical work through architecture reviews, code reviews, debugging and critical engineering decisions
- Develop engineers through regular feedback, coaching, performance management and clear expectations
- Identify performance gaps early and take ownership of raising the team's engineering and execution bar
- Improve engineering processes, tooling and automation to help the team move faster and operate at scale
- Own production outcomes beyond release: monitor systems, resolve incidents, identify root causes and ensure problems do not repeat
- Build a strong engineering culture focused on ownership, speed, technical excellence and continuous improvement
Skills
- Strong software engineering background with experience building and shipping real production systems
- Experience leading or managing software engineers and owning engineering delivery
- Strong technical depth across backend, frontend, APIs, databases, distributed systems or cloud infrastructure
- Able to make sound architecture and technical trade-offs while balancing speed, scalability and maintainability
- Strong track record of taking products or systems from idea through development, launch and production

- Strong people leadership with the ability to coach engineers, manage performance and build high-performing teams
- Strong product sense and ability to connect engineering decisions to customer and business outcomes
- Able to work fast with ambiguity, establish priorities and drive teams toward clear outcomes
- Strong ownership mentality — when something breaks or delivery slips, you take responsibility for getting it back on track
- We are looking for engineering leaders with real technology career highlights
- A strong highlight is not just managing a large team or working at a famous company. A strong highlight means you personally helped build, ship or scale a serious product, platform or engineering organisation and can clearly explain your contribution
- You should be able to demonstrate both sides of engineering leadership: technical depth and the ability to build a high-performing team that consistently delivers
- Candidates should be comfortable working effectively in a distributed, fast-moving international team and collaborating with colleagues across different locations
