Job description

A Tier 1 Bank is looking for an Engineering Manager to own their process orchestration platform end-to-end: running the engineering roadmap, playbooks and ongoing maintenance, and managing the rollout of vendor upgrades and internal improvements across all consuming teams' own instances of the stack.

Responsibilities

• Own the platform end-to-end: design, build, and long-term maintenance
• Roll out upgrades and improvements to teams running their own instances
• Stay hands-on with code, architecture, and problem-solving, not just people management
• Manage feature teams

Required Skills

• AWS experience
• Kubernetes/EKS a plus, not required (we've just moved from ECS to EKS)
• No preferred language - comfortable moving between Java, Go, TypeScript, etc.
• Background in larger, more structured/regulated organisations preferred over early-stage or loosely governed environments

This role is permanent with 3 days a week in the office.
