• Proven track record of simplifying complex architectures and defining cross-team patterns and platforms in a multi-squad environment.
• Solid experience with containerised workloads and cloud platforms (Azure preferred; AWS or Google Cloud also valuable), including deployment, monitoring, and scaling of microservices and web applications.
• Deep understanding of secure coding practices (e.g. OWASP), privacy, auditability, and regulatory expectations in financial services or similarly regulated environments.
• Strong experience with observability, SLOs, incident management, and operational excellence (logging, tracing, metrics, dashboards, on-call practices).
• Strong understanding of CI/CD and DevOps practices, ideally using GitHub actions or Azure DevOps Pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and automated testing at multiple levels.
• Experience designing and governing APIs at scale (REST, Open API, API gateways, versioning, backwards compatibility, service contracts).
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical programmes or initiatives that span multiple teams and systems, delivering measurable improvements to reliability, performance, or developer productivity.
• Experience introducing and scaling the use of new tools and standards across organisations, including GenAI technologies (e.g. GitHub Copilot) with appropriate guardrails.
• Proven people leadership experience: line-managing senior engineers, coaching technical leaders, and building high-performing, inclusive teams.
