About the Company

About the Role

Responsibilities

• Engineering Leadership & Delivery: Lead technical planning, prioritisation and day-to-day execution; allocate work, remove blockers and escalate risks early.
• Mentor engineers and ensure realistic commitments, clear ownership and reliable delivery.
• Translate product requirements into implementable engineering work, setting the technical approach and breaking work down so that others can pick it up and deliver it.
• Architecture & Quality: Own solution design and key technical decisions, selecting fit-for-purpose technologies based on scalability, security, operability, cost and maintainability.
• Review critical code and enforce coding, testing, documentation and release standards; actively manage technical debt and obsolete dependencies.
• Act as the integration and release gate: manage release branches, hotfixes and conflict resolution, and hold the standard for what reaches production.
• Transactional Integrity & Financial Correctness: Own correctness in systems that move money: idempotency, precise decimal handling, reconciliation, and an auditable trail behind every balance change.
• Lead investigation and remediation where production issues affect customer balances or payouts, from root cause through corrective action to verified closure.
• AI-Assisted Engineering: Use and govern approved AI coding assistants/agents with mandatory human review, testing, confidentiality and security controls.
• Guide LLM/API, RAG, vector search, tool-calling/MCP and agentic integrations, including evaluation, guardrails, observability and cost control.
• Cloud, DevSecOps & Reliability: Guide cloud-native delivery, containers/Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD automation.
• Embed secure SDLC controls including dependency/secrets scanning, SAST/DAST/SCA, SBOM and least-privilege access.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, IT or equivalent relevant professional experience.
• Experience: 8+ years in software engineering, including 3+ years in technical leadership or equivalent ownership roles.
• Proven delivery of production-grade applications/services across the full SDLC, including architecture, code review, release and production support.
• Strong practical experience with cloud, CI/CD, DevOps/DevSecOps and AI-assisted engineering workflows.
• Experience with firmware/OTA or connected-device operations where relevant to the assigned product.
• Experience in a small team where the same engineer designs, builds, reviews and then supports what they shipped.
• Prior work in a financially sensitive or regulated environment is a significant advantage.
