- Mentoring, coaching and developing a team of Software Engineers of varying levels of experience
- Work with direct reports to agree on objectives and to create and support development plans
- Facilitate and enable collaboration
- Align the team with product and business priorities

**Engineering**
- Own and drive new functionality from discovery, design, implementation, and testing to deployment and monitoring.
- Investigate problems, identify root causes, fix and document issues, and implement preventive measures by working closely with the

consumers of these services.
- Analyse logs and metrics for performance and behaviour to identify and solve issues before they start impacting the platform.

**What we're looking for**
- Strong development experience in one backend language (Java, Python, etc.) and one frontend Javascript / Typescript framework (React,

Angular, Vue)
- Experience building on a cloud platform (ideally AWS)
- Good understanding of high-availability, fault-tolerant, scalable, distributed systems
- Good understanding of serverless and micro-services oriented architecture with extensible REST APIs.
- Experience in Agile Methodologies
- Experience with using CI/CD to deliver software
- Experience leading and managing a software engineering team.
