Descripción del empleo

As a Principal Engineer in the Software Engineering & Delivery team, you will focus on delivering automated tooling and software engineering solutions.

As well as leading by example as a hands-on software engineer, you will support the team by determining the optimal technical and engineering approach to building, onboarding, securing, monitoring, and generating data and insight from our tools and products and ensuring adherence to the approach. This role will help set the standards and engineering best practices across the central software engineering team.

This role is a critical position to help enhance and build our bespoke engineering metrics platform that will be used across IAG Software Engineering to drive operational efficiencies, surface metrics for data-driven decision-making, and encourage software engineering best practices.

The main product that this role is currently working on is a bespoke Engineering Metrics Platform that pulls data from multiple technical tools (e.g. GitHub, SonarCloud, and Snyk) to surface data-driven insights on an AWS and PowerBI-based platform. These insights help facilitate engineering productivity improvements, cost savings, and decreased risk of security or quality issues across all of IAG. The role will also work in close collaboration with the AI Engineering Platform squad within Software Engineering and the AI product teams to review their work and offer opinions on engineering quality and best practice improvements. The product is still in development and is continuously evolving in an agile manner to ensure it meets stakeholder requirements and surfaces trustworthy metrics that can drive business behaviours.
