📋 Description

• Lead a team of engineers owning a defined area of software architecture, taking responsibility for delivery, quality, and technical direction • Run an effective development process: sprint health, delivery cadence, incident response, postmortems, and a sustainable on-call rotation that doesn't burn people out • Grow the engineers on your team through regular feedback, performance conversations, and stretch assignments that actually move people forward • Work closely with product to scope initiatives, identify risks, and prioritise deliverables, giving clear heads-up when capacity is constrained • Stay close enough to your team's technical work to ask the right questions, spot risks early, and contribute meaningfully to design discussions without becoming a bottleneck • Define the right metrics for your team's systems, use them to explain performance, catch variance, and drive improvements before they become incidents • Handle the difficult conversations, whether that's performance issues, interpersonal friction, or delivery risk, before they become problems that need escalating

🎯 Requirements

• A background as a software engineer, with hands-on experience building and shipping production systems. This is a hard requirement. • Experience managing a team of engineers, with a track record of building effective development processes and growing individual contributors • Technically credible enough to evaluate design decisions, challenge assumptions, and be taken seriously by strong engineers, without needing to be the most technical person in the room • Comfortable with operational ownership: on-call culture, incident management, postmortems, and the unglamorous work of keeping systems healthy • Clear, direct communication with stakeholders and leadership, including knowing when and how to escalate and when not to • Able to operate with meaningful autonomy: you don't need a playbook for every situation, but you know when to ask for one • Nice to have: Experience in fintech, payments, or a similarly regulated and high-stakes technical domain • Nice to have: Familiarity with distributed systems and the trade-offs that come with high-throughput, high-availability infrastructure

🏖️ Benefits

• We are fully remote and globally distributed; and have been since day one • Competitive share options • Uncapped holiday, with 25 days minimum to be taken • Co-working space access • Workations & Company Retreat • The best equipment for your role • £500 towards your home office setup • Generous learning budget • Private Medical Insurance • A broad set of additional perks and benefits (*depending on location)*
