• Lead project execution across the full delivery lifecycle, including defining scope, technical approach, delivery plans, dependencies, risks, and stakeholder communications.


• Establish and champion engineering standards, including sound software design, code quality, automated testing, operational resilience, and modern development practices.


• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers, supporting their development while building an accountable, collaborative engineering team.

How You’ll Lead

Partner with Project Manager for the Credit Flow business, to align delivery priorities, manage plans and dependencies, communicate progress and risks, and drive successful execution of strategic initiatives. Collaborate with lead for the D2C Technology stack, to define technical direction, coordinate platform and integration dependencies, and ensure scalable end-to-end delivery.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience)


• Proven ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, optimize workflows to solve business problems, while applying critical judgment to ensure responsible and ethical use of data and AI outputs
