• Contribute to the establishment of engineering standards, patterns, and best practices.
• Work independently to progress complex technical challenges with minimal direction.
• Support the evaluation of cloud-native and containerised deployment approaches.
• Share findings and recommendations with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• Delivery of high-quality prototypes and technical spikes that support informed decision-making.
• Establishment of robust engineering patterns and development approaches for future teams.
• Effective collaboration with architecture and delivery functions.
• Clear documentation of technical findings, recommendations, and risks.
• Consistent delivery in an environment with evolving requirements and limited precedent.
• Positive contribution to technical innovation and continuous improvement initiatives.
