- Design and evolve internal platforms and shared services that improve scalability, reliability, and developer experience

- Establish and promote engineering patterns and best practices in areas such as system design, observability, and service reliability

- Lead architectural decisions, making pragmatic trade-offs across performance, reliability, cost, and speed of delivery

- Contribute directly to critical parts of the system where deep technical expertise is required

- Improve how systems are operated in production, including monitoring, incident response, and long-term reliability improvements

- Influence technical direction across teams through design reviews, collaboration, and hands-on leadership

- Mentor engineers at multiple levels, particularly Senior engineers, helping to raise the overall technical bar

**Requirements**

- 10+ years of experience building and operating distributed systems at scale, with a strong understanding of production challenges and failure modes

- A track record of delivering complex technical initiatives across multiple teams or domains

- Strong software engineering fundamentals, with deep proficiency in at least one modern programming language and the ability to work across others

- Experience working across a broad, polyglot technology stack

- Proven ability to design or evolve platform-level systems, internal developer platforms, or shared infrastructure

- Solid understanding of SRE principles, including observability, SLIs/SLOs, incident management, and system health

- Experience improving system reliability and developer productivity through automation, platform design, and intelligent tooling

- Experience designing systems and workflows that are highly automatable and extensible

- Ability to navigate ambiguity, define problems, and drive solutions without needing detailed direction

- Strong communication and influencing skills, with experience aligning engineers and stakeholders across teams

**Nice to Have**

- Experience building or scaling internal developer platforms or self-service tooling

- Familiarity with large-scale CI/CD or build systems

- Experience improving developer experience and productivity across organisations
