  • Deeply familiar with modern cloud technologies, particularly AWS and/or Azure
  • Comfortable operating across engineering, product, commercial and operational environments
  • Experienced in Agile, Platform Engineering, DevOps and Site Reliability practices
  • Passionate about developing people, building capability and creating high-performing cultures
  • Commercially astute and customer focused
  • Excited by the opportunities AI presents to transform engineering effectiveness and customer outcomes.

Why Apply?

  • Influence engineering strategy at one of the UK's largest software companies
  • Lead transformation at scale
  • Work alongside senior leaders across Engineering, Product and Commercial teams
  • Drive innovation across cloud, platform and AI initiatives
  • Develop and mentor engineering teams that support thousands of businesses and accounting professionals globally.
