## Description

We are seeking a Lead Engineer to join our Personal Savings and Wealth team at OakNorth. As a Lead Engineer, you will lead multiple AI-native pods while staying hands-on, coding, reviewing, and pairing.

Responsibilities:

- Lead multiple AI-native pods while staying hands-on: coding, reviewing and pairing.

- Manage stakeholders at every level, from product and commercial to risk and senior leadership, setting expectations and negotiating trade-offs.

- Turn customer and business needs into products that land, bringing stakeholders with you from idea to launch.

- Own technical delivery and measure success by business impact, not lines of code.

- Design simple, resilient, scalable event-driven systems: you build it, you run it.

- Break complex problems into incremental, shippable steps with clear domain boundaries.

- Shape platform-wide architecture with an eye on wider business impact.

- Coach and mentor engineers by example.

- Use GenAI to move faster and decide better and help set the direction for how it’s embedded across the organisation.

Technology:

- Python, NodeJS

- TypeScript, React, styled components

- PostgreSQL, BigQuery, MySQL

- Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, pytest

- AWS, GCP

- Docker, Terraform, GitHub, CircleCI

How we expect you to work:

- Collaborate - We work in cross-functional, mission driven, autonomous squads that gel over time. We pair program to work better through shared experience and knowledge.

- Focus on outcomes over outputs - Solving a problem for users that translates to business results is our goal. Measurements focused on that goal help us to understand if we are succeeding.

- Practice continuous improvement - We optimise for feedback now, rather than presume what might be needed in the future and introduce complexity before it will be used. This means we learn faster. We share learnings in blame-free formats, so that we do not repeat things that have failed, but still have confidence to innovate.

- Seek to understand our users - We constantly seek understanding from data and conversations to better serve our users' needs, taking an active part in research to hear from them directly and regularly.

- Embrace and enable continuous deployment - Seamless delivery of changes into an environment - without manual intervention - is essential for us to ensure that we are highly productive; consider resiliency; and practice security by design.

- Test outside-in, test first - TDD keeps us confident in moving fast and deploying regularly. We want to solve user problems, and so we test with that mindset - writing scenarios first, then considering our solution; coupling tests to behaviour, rather than implementation.

- You build it, you run it - We embrace DevOps culture and end-to-end ownership of products and features. Every engineer, regardless of their role, can lead delivery of features from start to finish.

- Be cloud native - We leverage automation and hosted services to deliver resilient, secure services quickly and consistently.

Benefits & Perks:

- 25 days holiday

- Personalised benefits , opt-in to what matters to you

- Subsidised Private Medical Insurance with Bupa

- Enhanced maternity and paternity leave
