• The ability to move between high-level architectural decisions and hands-on implementation
• Experience influencing engineers and stakeholders around shared technical standards and long-term priorities
• A team-first approach, with a passion for mentoring experienced engineers and raising the technical bar
• Strong communication skills and the ability to make complex technical decisions clear to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Lead the design and delivery of complex, cross-team initiatives from early architectural decisions through to implementation
• Design and build core platform capabilities, from reliable real-time pipelines, shared tooling, reusable frameworks, and scalable data infrastructure for other teams
• Establish and champion golden paths that enable teams to build securely, consistently, and efficiently
• Improve platform reliability, scalability, performance, and cost efficiency as data volumes and use cases grow
• Partner with Security, Compliance, Product, and Engineering teams to ensure our systems meet operational and regulatory requirements
• Identify systemic risks, reduce unnecessary complexity, and guide pragmatic, incremental improvements to the platform
• Strengthen engineering standards across data modelling, pipeline design, observability, testing, deployment automation, and infrastructure as code
• Influence technical priorities and planning by working closely with engineering managers, product managers, and senior technical leaders
• Mentor senior engineers and raise technical capability through design reviews, code reviews, documentation, and hands-on collaboration
