  • Mentor engineers across all levels, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
  • Champion system quality through testing strategies, observability, and performance optimisation.
  • Collaborate across engineering, infrastructure, DevOps, and security teams to ensure seamless delivery.

  • Support technical aspects of vendor evaluations and third-party integrations.

Must Haves

  • 7+ years of professional software development experience.
  • 2+ years in technical leadership roles (e.g. Tech Lead, Staff Engineer).
  • Deep expertise in at least one primary technology stack, with broad technical knowledge.
  • Strong understanding of software architecture, system design, and scalable distributed systems.
  • Excellent coding skills and experience with agile development methodologies.
  • Proven ability to lead geographically distributed teams.
