• Build a diverse, high‑performing engineering community, focused on psychological safety, innovation, and continuous improvement.
• Partner with Product, Architecture, Site Reliability Engineering, Security, and Lab Leadership to ensure clear direction and strong cross‑team relationships.

• Embed strong operational discipline including incident management, capacity planning, and engineering excellence rituals.
• Ensure your lab consistently meets risk, audit, and compliance obligations, especially within the regulated authentication domain.
• Troubleshoot complex engineering and production challenges, providing hands‑on guidance when needed.

What we’re looking for…

• 14+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years leading engineering teams or squads.
• Proven ability to manage multiple squads, set direction, and lead technical delivery in complex, regulated environments.

• Strong background in distributed systems, API design (especially REST/OIDC), microservices, and event‑driven architectures.
• Proficiency with Java.
• Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GKE, IAM, Compute, networking, resilience engineering).
• Strong grounding in engineering fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, software architecture, and system design.

• Hands‑on experience building CICD pipelines, automated test suites, and secure coding practices.
• Deep understanding of agile delivery methodologies at scale.

• Experience building authentication, authorisation, or security‑critical services (e.g., MFA, OAuth2, OIDC, SSO, passkeys, cryptographic services).
