📋 Description

• Lead the engineering team — set direction, standards and delivery rhythm, and be the person ultimately accountable for our technology. • Own the platform — stability, security and reliability. • Be responsible for uptime, security and system stability across the business. • Build the platform, infrastructure and AI pipeline — a hardened, secure route from prototype to production, plus a safe environment for handling personal data, so the team ships fast and safely. • Drive adoption of our AI SDLC process — ensure that our development organisation is using the best-in-class AI processes for building and maintaining our platforms. • Support the whole business — give teams the platforms and tools they need to do their best work. • Run the squad-based model — deploy engineers into squads focused on the core areas of the business, resourced flexibly within a total budget (data, engineers, in-house and external capacity, tooling and hosting) rather than fixed headcount. • Advance the AI roadmap — agents, automations and analytics that deliver measurable gains in customer experience and efficiency across the business.

🎯 Requirements

• Engineering leadership that knows what "good" looks like — 8+ years in engineering, with real ownership of security, system stability and production reliability. • You've run platforms where being the person accountable when something breaks is second nature. • AI capability alongside the fundamentals — Fluent with modern AI technologies and AI-assisted development, and keen to build with them — but grounded in engineering discipline rather than an AI-native who's never shipped hardened production. • Hands-on — Still close to the build; leads from the front, not a pure manager. • People leadership & resourcing — Proven record hiring, mentoring and leading engineering teams; comfortable managing a blended in-house/external team to a budget and deploying engineers into cross-functional squads. • Platform & pipeline thinking — Builds the infrastructure and production pipeline that let others ship safely and fast; cloud infrastructure experience (e.g. AWS) expected. • Regulated / insurance technology (desirable) — Comfortable building auditable, well-documented systems handling personal data in a regulated environment (FCA Consumer Duty, GDPR/UK DPA); insurtech or financial-services experience a plus. • Scale & international — Experience building for a lean but fast-growing, multi-entity, multi-country business. • Communication — Credible and clear with the Executive Committee, your team and non-technical colleagues alike.

🏖️ Benefits

• Company share options scheme. • Insurance products for you, your family and friends. • Discounted cycling goods. • Cycle to Work / Bike Leasing schemes. • Life Insurance. • Remote-first, with one day a month together as a team — at one of our offices or a location to be defined.
