## About the Role

* Extensive experience building and running production software end to end, from system design through to operating it live
 * Technical leadership beyond a single team: a track record of influencing engineers and teams you don't manage, and building agreement across them
 * System design across boundaries: systems that stay correct, fast and affordable when several teams, several delivery channels and a shared data platform are all involved, and sound judgement on when to solve something once centrally versus letting each team solve it
 * Hands-on experience in analytical or data-intensive contexts and depth in large-scale data platforms: how they're built, governed and paid for, including keeping one customer's data separate from another's, controlling access at the data layer, tracking data lineage, and keeping query cost under control
 * Machine learning and AI in production: enough understanding of how models and agents are built, trained and evaluated to set the technical brief for the data science team, read an evaluation critically, and judge whether a result will hold up in the real world. Experience taking AI-powered features into production and making them reliable, cost-effective and trustworthy for customers.
 * Judgement under uncertainty, with commercial awareness: you understand that technical choices affect what the business can charge and what it costs to serve a customer, and you know when to decide and when to wait
 * Clear communicator who can explain direction, risk and trade-offs so that engineers, product, commercial and senior leaders all take away the same thing
 * A builder's mindset. You understand the who and the why, and you own what ships
 * AI-native in how you build: you use AI tooling with judgement, stay current with how agentic development is evolving, and help make effective agentic practices the norm across the team
