Job description

Senior Engineering Manager — AI-Accelerated Software Delivery (Claude Code)

Role Overview:

• Position: Senior Engineering Manager — AI-Accelerated Software Delivery
• Reporting to: Senior Vice President of Technology
• Primary Responsibility: Deliver software end-to-end at high velocity and quality using Claude Code, and multiply team output by establishing the standards, reusable frameworks, and enablement that scale AI-accelerated delivery — while coaching, mentoring, and leading engineers and cross-functional contributors.

About the Role:

We are hiring senior, hands-on technical leaders to define how we build software in the era of AI-assisted development. This is a player-coach role: you will personally deliver across the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) and the adjacent disciplines our teams cover — platform and product engineering, client implementations, business analysis, quality assurance, and project/product management — using Claude Code to ship faster and at higher quality. You will then codify what works into repeatable standards, playbooks, and tooling, and drive their adoption through hands-on coaching and team enablement.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and deliver work end-to-end with minimal oversight — from requirements and software architecture through implementation, testing, and release — across the full SDLC.
• Use Claude Code as a core part of your daily workflow to materially accelerate delivery without compromising quality, across diverse work types: platform/product engineering, client implementations, business analysis, QA/test automation, and project/product management.
• Make sound software architecture and system-design decisions independently; scope ambiguous problems and drive them to completion.
• Establish and document reusable standards, playbooks, prompts, workflows, and internal tooling for AI-accelerated development — the kind you rely on yourself and that others can readily adopt.
• Mentor, coach, and upskill engineers, analysts, QA, and project managers; lead teams to faster, higher-quality outcomes and drive adoption of AI-assisted development practices.
• Raise and enforce the bar for engineering quality, software architecture, and best practices through code review and technical leadership.
• Apply strong critical thinking and sound technical judgment — challenge assumptions, identify better approaches, and continuously improve developer productivity and delivery throughput.
• Share techniques, learnings, and measurable outcomes across the organisation to compound team-wide productivity.

Qualifications:

• Required: hands-on, production experience with Claude Code — you must be able to demonstrate, in a live working session, materially faster delivery at high quality across multiple task types. (Experience with other agentic AI coding assistants such as Cursor or GitHub Copilot is a plus but does not substitute for hands-on Claude Code experience.)
• 8+ years building and shipping production software, including experience as a Senior/Staff Engineer, Technical Lead, and/or Engineering Manager.
• Strong software architecture and system-design expertise; deep, full-stack technical proficiency and the ability to work independently with minimal direction.
• Breadth across the delivery lifecycle — able to contribute to and lead software engineering, client implementations, business analysis, QA/test automation, and project/product management.
• Proven track record of improving engineering velocity, developer productivity, and delivery quality (e.g., through standards, automation, enablement, or process improvement).
• Experience establishing engineering best practices and mentoring, coaching, or managing engineers and cross-functional teams.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders and to teach and enable others.
• Experience with Agile/Scrum delivery and CI/CD, and a consistent commitment to high-quality software.

Desired Attributes:

• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills; intellectually honest and willing to challenge the status quo.
• Self-directed, ownership-oriented, and effective with autonomy in a fast-paced, client-focused environment.
• Genuine passion for teaching, mentoring, and multiplying the effectiveness of others.
• Early adopter of emerging AI developer tooling, with the judgment to apply it where it adds real value.

How We Evaluate:

• The process includes a practical, hands-on assessment — typically a live or recorded working session — in which you complete representative work using Claude Code so we can evaluate your delivery velocity, quality, and technique directly.
