• Drive technical strategy and architecture within the team and across the engineering organisation, designing scalable services, distributed systems, and shared capabilities
• Own complex, cross-team technical problems from initial framing through implementation, making pragmatic decisions across data models, APIs, networking, and infrastructure
• Set architectural direction and establish patterns, standards, and best practices for consistent, independent work across engineering teams
• Balance short-term product needs with long-term technical sustainability, making trade-offs around scalability, reliability, complexity, and delivery speed
• Raise engineering standards through technical reviews, design discussions, documentation, and hands-on contributions to critical systems
• Align Backend, Data, Product, DevOps, and Engineering leadership around technical decisions and priorities through influence
• Mentor and develop engineers across teams, helping senior engineers grow their technical leadership and fostering ownership, pragmatism, and continuous learning
• Improve system reliability and observability by identifying systemic issues and driving improvements to software development and operations
