My client is looking for an experienced technical leader to drive architecture, engineering excellence, and technical strategy across their platform engineering teams.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role with no line management responsibilities. You'll influence architecture, mentor engineers, and work across multiple teams to deliver scalable, cloud-native platforms.
You'll provide technical leadership across two key areas:
Edge Delivery & Observability (Internal Team)
- Own the technical roadmap and architecture.
- Work hands-on with a team of four engineers.
- Mentor engineers and drive engineering best practice.
- Partner with the Engineering Manager and Product & Technology stakeholders.
