Staff Engineer

• Hold the technical vision for our work on the programme, in close partnership with Engineering Management, Product and Delivery
• Shape the architecture across data, integrations and APIs — including how Exonaut connects with MoD and partner systems, and how training data flows through the platform
• Help scope the team's most complex initiatives end-to-end, and share implementation work across the team so others can grow while you remain accountable for the outcome
• Help raise our engineering standards around design, code quality, security, performance and operability
• Mentor Senior Engineers toward Staff-level scope, and represent engineering thoughtfully with customers, partners and 4C peers

• An experienced engineer who still enjoys writing code, with several years operating at Senior Engineer level or above and a track record of guiding non-trivial technical work across a team or cluster of teams
• Sound architectural judgement around data modelling, integrations and API design (REST, event-driven and similar). You weigh long-term consequences without losing sight of short-term delivery
• Comfortable being a team's technical point of reference — you lead through influence, partnership and consistently good judgement, rather than formal authority
• Experienced partnering with Engineering Managers, Product Managers, designers and Delivery Leads to shape roadmaps and untangle complex, ambiguous work
• A mentor by instinct who can point to engineers whose careers you've helped shape
• Clear, considered communicator — both in writing and in person — including with senior stakeholders in regulated environments
