• Drive agile delivery by leading sprint planning, breaking down complex work, and proactively resolving technical dependencies and delivery blockers.
• Help to maintain the highest quality of engineering standards, ensuring code is clean, reusable, and well-documented - we don't do debt!
• Partner with the wider MATTR Engineering team to evolve tools, processes, and technical practices.

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related discipline (advantageous).
• At least 2 years in a people-leadership role in which you've hired, coached and energised exceptional teams
• Hands-on expertise building production-grade mobile apps and SDKs using React Native and TypeScript.
• Demonstrated ability to design resilient mobile architectures that prioritise security, scalability, reliability and user experience.
• Track record of delivering complex technical solutions, writing clean, maintainable, and well-documented code aligned with modern engineering practices.
• You're an energetic communicator, with the ability to engage technically and commercially across all levels of MATTR - our roles have enormous scope for growth, if you can see the scope, it's yours.

Advantageous

• Skills in a range of technologies such as node, AWS, native mobile applications development for iOS and Android
• You are an evangelist for verifiable data and digital trust
