• Lead, scale, and evolve an engineering organisation tasked with a massive, high-stakes objective: rebuilding these modules into a modern, AI-native architecture. • Manage, coach, and develop a team of Engineering Managers. Foster a culture of high performance, deep psychological safety, and continuous feedback. • Spearhead the greenfield rebuild and platform modernisation of our four core modules into a distributed, cloud-native system. • Provide strong architectural oversight, ensuring key decisions align with our tech stack while actively embedding AI capabilities into both engineering workflows and product features. • Build rapid trust across technical and non-technical boundaries, translating complex engineering roadmaps into clear strategic value for commercial leaders. • Balance high-level strategic vision with relentless operational execution, ensuring high-quality, predictable delivery in a fast-paced environment.

• Lead and grow high-performing engineering teams, fostering a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and technical excellence. • Coach and develop engineers, support them through regular feedback, mentorship, and career development, while creating an inclusive and collaborative team environment. • Define and drive long-term vision, set the strategy for your teams, ensuring perfect alignment with company objectives and product priorities. • Identify and prioritize high-impact opportunities, partner closely with Product, Data, and Design to ensure teams focus on initiatives that deliver the greatest customer and business value. • Own execution and delivery. Balance speed, quality, and reliability while ensuring teams consistently achieve desired outcomes. • Provide technical leadership, guide system design and architectural decisions, help teams navigate trade-offs, and remove technical obstacles. • Champion engineering best practices. Drive continuous improvements in code quality, operational excellence, development processes, and technology evolution. • Collaborate cross-functionally, work with stakeholders across the broader business to maximize impact and align on priorities, strategy, and outcomes.

• Own the technical strategy and architecture for the POS Application Platform, acting as the domain CTO for everything that runs on our POS devices. • Build and govern the four core platform pillars across the organisation: developer experience (tools, libraries, SDKs), platform reliability (observability, uptime, quality standards), foundational frameworks (architecture, coding standards, testing and release pipelines), and squad adoption (driving uptake of platform tooling across all embedded POS engineers). • Define and enforce engineering standards across all POS device types and OEM manufacturers, ensuring architectural consistency and quality across a heterogeneous device fleet. • Functionally lead POS engineers embedded across Payments, Onboarding, VAS, Savings, and Loans squads — setting the bar for engineering quality and providing the platform layer above all of them. • Own POS observability end-to-end: monitoring, alerting, and incident response frameworks that ensure platform health across all devices and squads. • Drive the architecture for how Moniepoint supports multiple POS device types, including defining how new devices are onboarded, governed, and integrated with the platform. • Collaborate with OEM partners and the POS hardware team when new device types are introduced, ensuring the application layer is ready to support them from day one. • Write and review code directly — this role expects 40 to 60 percent hands-on engineering time. You will set the technical standard, not just the technical direction. • Build and scale the POS platform team, including hiring, mentoring, and structuring for growth as the platform expands internationally. • Translate platform decisions into business impact, working closely with Product, Payments, and Business leadership across markets. • Establish and continuously improve engineering processes, tooling standards, CI/CD pipelines, and developer productivity metrics across the POS engineering community.
