• Apply AI tools responsibly to deliver productivity benefits while maintaining full oversight.


• Champion strong technical standards and best‑practise software engineering: code reviews, unit testing, CI/CD, secure software development.


• Take ownership of the Live Platform which comes with the right to challenge any code/change contributed by other teams that does not meet a Quality Standard you will be pivotal in agreeing.

• Experience with Git and CI/CD pipelines, and championing best practice code review.


• Experience developing unit tests and promoting a strong testing culture within a team.
