Responsibilities
- Vision & Direction: Drive the technical direction for your squad, ensuring individual technical decisions aggregate into a cohesive, scalable system.
- Architectural Implementation: Translate high-level blueprints into actionable technical patterns and make architecture “real” through hands-on prototyping and by proposing initial implementations that address scaling and performance issues.
- System Health Ownership: Take accountability for the end-to-end lifecycle of owned services and proactively identify opportunities to simplify, optimise, and resolve technical blockers before they impact the business.
- Standards & Platforms: Contribute to and extend shared organisational patterns and platforms, ensuring the final implementation stays true to the original architectural design.
- Quality Integrity: Set the framework for testing, documentation, and version control. You are accountable for the technical integrity of the squad’s output and the prevention of technical debt.
- SDLC Optimisation: Continuously evaluate the team’s Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), identify gaps or inefficiencies and drive changes that lead to better team outcomes and faster, safer delivery.
- Innovation: Stay updated on industry trends and evaluate new technologies for potential adoption, prioritising platform improvements that enable strategic business capabilities.
- Coaching: Provide real-time technical coaching and mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of high performance and continuous learning.
- Culture of Excellence: Role-model best practices and development methodologies, ensuring the team has the necessary skills to deliver on the long-term tech roadmap.
- Collaboration: Lead technical discussions and connect people across different teams to improve cross-functional outcomes and knowledge sharing.
- Orchestration: Act as the primary technical point of contact for leadership and be responsible for technical effort estimation and mitigating delivery risks.
