You will empower teams to achieve their outcomes while coordinating across engineering, operations, and quality assurance to remove blockers and align delivery practices with business-critical objectives.

Your calm, decisive leadership will help transform complex challenges into clear, actionable plans, balancing the needs of rapid iteration with the stability and compliance requirements of financial markets.

• Trading System Reliability: Ensure that delivery practices consistently support the stability, risk management, and performance standards required for mission-critical trading systems.
• Regulatory Oversight: Partner with compliance teams and other control functions to ensure all development and deployment practices meet regulatory requirements, with proper documentation and auditability in place.
• Quality Assurance: Line manage QA engineers, manage the QA automation roadmap and work with the Head of Product & Head of Engineering to drive improvements to our automated regression and integrated testing processes.

Background And Experience

• Proven track record of working in an engineering-led organization applying modern Agile methods (Scrum, Kanban, Lean, XP).
• Demonstrated expertise in applying DORA metrics and similar industry frameworks to measure, evaluate, and improve delivery processes.
• Deep understanding of how large-scale, high-reliability software systems are designed, tested, deployed, and operated.
• Experience coordinating across product managers, engineers, architects, QA, DevOps, and compliance stakeholders.
• Background in high-performance, regulated environments such as finance, crypto, DeFi, or algorithmic trading is a strong plus.
• Background and understanding of trading and financial markets is a strong plus.

Competencies and personality

• Certifications in Agile, Lean, or related iterative software delivery methodologies are a plus
• Expertise in using delivery performance frameworks (e.g., DORA, Accelerate) to drive data-informed improvements
• Exceptional communication, critical thinking, and organizational skills
