• Contributing to cross-team initiatives, organizational improvements, and the ongoing development of our engineering culture.

In this role, you combine strong people leadership with technical credibility and engineering craftsmanship, helping both your team and the wider organization continuously improve and grow.

What makes you successful?

• You are a leader who knows how to create high-performing teams while maintaining a strong connection to technology and software development.
• You are comfortable switching between coaching people, improving processes, making delivery decisions, and discussing technical challenges with engineers and architects.
• You know how to balance quality, speed, innovation, and long-term sustainability.
