## About the Role

* You have proven experience leading engineering teams, including people management, hiring and coaching. A strong tech lead ready to take the step up is equally welcome.
 * You have hands-on familiarity with AI tooling, CI/CD tooling, version control workflows, containerization and cloud infrastructure, and a strong interest in AI-assisted development, MCP and agentic tooling in an engineering context.
 * You have a product mindset: you think in terms of users, adoption and outcomes rather than tickets closed.
 * You are comfortable owning a budget and justifying investment decisions.
 * You have strong communication skills, with the ability to move between a deep technical discussion and an executive conversation.
 * You are pragmatic and comfortable with ambiguity, because this space is moving fast and the roadmap will change - and you're genuinely energized by making other engineers more productive.

## Description

* You own the Developer Platform as a product: you define the vision and roadmap based on what our engineers actually need, measure adoption, gather feedback and retire what doesn't land.
 * You drive our internal developer portal and golden paths so that teams can move from idea to production without filing a ticket.
 * You set the direction on AI-assisted software development: MCP servers, agentic tooling, and the safe and effective adoption of AI across the SDLC.
 * You lead, coach and develop a team of platform engineers, and you own hiring, performance and retention - creating the conditions for them to do their best work.
 * You own the team's budget and make cost-conscious decisions on tooling, licences and cloud spend.
 * You make sure reliability, security and compliance are built into the platform rather than bolted on afterwards, and you report clearly on platform health, adoption and impact to leadership.
 * You act as the connection point between what developers want and what the organisation requires, and you push back constructively when the two conflict.
 * You represent the platform internally: you evangelise it, onboard teams onto it, and turn sceptics into users., * You have a solid engineering, architecture or software delivery background, and you understand modern delivery from the inside.
