• Company-level product direction. Work with Product, the CTO, VP of Engineering and customer-facing leaders to identify the technical capabilities that matter most to customer value and product differentiation. Use customer evidence and market understanding to shape investment options, build-versus-buy decisions and long-term platform direction.
• Cross-product architecture. Guide architecture across product boundaries, shared services and integrations. Simplify dependencies, clarify interfaces and reduce systemic risks. Define staged modernisation plans that protect existing customers while enabling future capabilities. Establish decision principles with accountable product and engineering owners.
• Hands-on execution. Personally design and implement critical components, reference solutions and technically demanding capabilities. Lead complex initiatives through validation and rollout. Resolve the highest-impact systemic engineering problems without becoming the default owner of every difficult implementation task.
• Production AI leadership. Guide reliable AI-enabled capabilities and engineering practices. Establish evaluation methods, tenant and data boundaries, safe tool execution, oversight, observability and cost controls appropriate to each use case. Demonstrate where AI improves outcomes and where simpler approaches are preferable.
• Engineering capability. Mentor Principal Engineers, architects and senior technical leaders. Establish reusable practices for secure, reliable and maintainable delivery. Improve the quality of engineering decisions across teams and build leadership capacity that persists beyond your direct involvement.
• Executive influence and accountability. Communicate technical trade-offs in terms of customer impact, investment and risk. Partner with the CTO on enterprise direction and the VP of Engineering on execution. Agree decision rights for cross-product initiatives and make outcomes visible to leadership and the teams delivering them.
• Responsibility to adhere to set internal controls.

Pride of Ownership

We value pride of ownership. Understand the customer, the product and the market need; form a clear, evidence-based opinion about how the product can improve; and work with others to turn that opinion into results. Strong coding skills and effective use of AI matter, but accountability continues after a feature is shipped. Be willing to challenge assumptions, listen to feedback and change your view when the evidence changes.
