• Proven track record of taking products or features from concept through to production, with focus on testing and maintainability.

• Drive the performance, reliability, observability and security of existing products, owning the approach to monitoring and technical debt.
• Set the standard for clean, well-tested, maintainable code - leading code reviews, defining engineering standards, and championing AI-assisted development practices across the team.
• Work closely with the Growth Team and stakeholders to shape product roadmaps, translate client feedback into product improvements, and identify opportunities to package and position AI capabilities within the portfolio.
