  • lead engineering teams and manage stakeholders effectively whilst remaining hands on technically
  • play a key role in mentoring engineers, influencing technical direction, and helping define engineering standards across major programmes

Requirements

  • Lead engineering teams and manage stakeholders effectively whilst remaining hands on technically
  • strong focus on AWS, Kubernetes including EKS and AKS, Terraform, Jenkins, and observability tooling such as Prometheus and OpenTelemetry

What we offer

  • unlimited training budget
