## Description

This is a great opportunity for someone with a background in software engineering, platform engineering, DevOps, engineering effectiveness, developer tooling or technology product management who is passionate about improving how engineers build, test, deploy and operate software.

We're looking for a data-driven leader who can combine technology, analytics and developer insight to create a better experience for engineers across Aviva.

If you enjoy solving complex problems, influencing senior stakeholders and using evidence to drive meaningful change, we'd love to hear from you.

A bit about the job:

As our Developer Productivity & Experience Lead, you'll define and deliver Aviva's Developer Experience (DevEx) strategy across the organisation.
