• Partner with Engineering Directors to shape the technical and product direction of a collective, providing leadership across multiple squads (30–70+ engineers) and ensuring alignment with company-wide priorities. • Be hands on in both coding and architecture, leading from the front. • Partner closely with Product and Design leadership to define strategy, shape roadmaps, and make high-quality trade-offs that maximise business and customer impact across the collective. • Mobilise teams across your collective around high-impact problems, creating clarity, alignment and momentum, injecting urgency when needed, or slowing things down to ensure safety and long-term sustainability. • Lead and influence architectural direction for the most complex systems, ensuring cohesive, scalable designs across multiple teams and aligning local decisions with the broader system strategy. • Set and uphold a high bar for technical excellence across the collective, driving improvements in quality, reliability and scalability, and fostering a culture where engineers hold each other to that standard. • Proactively mentor, sponsor and develop senior engineers and future leaders, multiplying your impact by enabling others to operate at a higher level.

Job Requirements

  • You combine strong technical judgment with product and business awareness, making pragmatic trade-offs
  • You’ve worked on scalable backend, distributed or data-intensive systems
  • You’re comfortable operating in ambiguous problem spaces, helping teams define direction and execute
  • You influence and align senior stakeholders across engineering, product and beyond
  • You care about outcomes and impact, using data to guide decisions
  • You enjoy mentoring and raising the bar for other engineers

Benefits

  • £1,000 learning budget each year to use on books, training courses and conferences.
  • We’ll help you relocate to the UK.
  • We can sponsor your visa.
  • Flexible working hours and trust you to work enough hours to do your job well, and at times that suit you and your team.
  • We will set you up to work from home; all employees are given Macbooks and for fully remote workers we will provide extra support for your work-from-home setup.
