Description
Join Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Platforms as a Senior Full Stack Engineer focused on app.hsbc with end-to-end responsibility for one or more platform products and services.
This is a hands-on leadership role that balances new delivery with the ongoing remediation of technical debt and the improvement of engineering standards across development pods.
You will set a technology strategy that improves reliability and release cadence while reducing production incidents.
The role operates in a regulated environment where safe predictable change and strong risk and control discipline are essential.
Success means small regular non-breaking releases improved operational readiness and measurable gains in service reliability.
You will partner closely with key stakeholders to prioritize outcomes and manage trade-offs across time risk and quality.
