Job Summary

Lead and manage a team of engineers across frontend, backend, and full stack development, owning engineering delivery for major product areas while ensuring the team ships quickly without compromising reliability. Drive technical architecture and engineering decisions across APIs, databases, integrations, and customer-facing systems, setting standards for code quality, security, and production observability. Work closely with product, design, mobile, and AI teams to turn ambiguous problems into clear technical execution, improving processes and tooling to operate at scale. Monitor systems, resolve incidents, and identify root causes to ensure problems do not repeat, developing engineers through regular feedback and coaching. This role is for a strong technical leader who can make sound architecture decisions and drive products from idea to production, fostering a culture focused on ownership and continuous improvement within our global, distributed team.

  • Strong technical depth across backend, frontend, APIs, databases, distributed systems or cloud infrastructure
  • Strong track record of taking products or systems from idea through development, launch and production
  • Strong people leadership with the ability to coach engineers, manage performance and build high-performing teams
  • Strong product sense and ability to connect engineering decisions to customer and business outcomes
  • Able to work fast with ambiguity, establish priorities and drive teams toward clear outcomes
  • Strong ownership mentality — when something breaks or delivery slips, you take responsibility for getting it back on track
  • English is our main working language across global teams. Strong English communication is required
  • Candidates should be comfortable working effectively in a distributed, fast-moving international team and collaborating with colleagues across different locations

Desired Qualifications

  • A strong highlight means you personally helped build, ship or scale a serious product, platform or engineering organisation and can clearly explain your contribution
