  • Own the technical delivery of the go-to-market products serving Clients, Consumers and Partners, including externally facing APIs, SDKs, partner integrations, and our digital experiences, while balancing delivery pace against long-term engineering quality
  • Set and evolve the technical direction for your team, working with the Platform Manager to keep service boundaries clear, reduce coupling, and stop a distributed monolith forming between product and platform
  • Lead and line-manage your Principal and Lead Engineers, and oversee the engineering squads in your area

  • Treat APIs, events and data contracts as products, with proper standards, versioning and lifecycle management
  • Protect business-critical delivery commitments through frequent, reliable, low-risk deployments
  • Raise the quality bar across architecture, code review, automated testing (unit, integration, contract, E2E and performance), BDD and resilience, partnering with the Head of QA so quality is built in from discovery rather than inspected at the end
  • Make resilience, failure modes and recovery paths part of design from the start, and own the observability, on-call and incident response for the customer-facing services your teams run
  • Give senior leadership, product and commercial stakeholders honest, transparent visibility of delivery confidence, technical risk and trade-offs, especially where client commitments are at stake
  • Work with Product and Delivery early, before requirements are thrown over the wall, so squads have the context to make good decisions and move quickly without becoming chaotic
