  • Guiding and partnering with the 'Developer Community' to define software development standards that can be used by our teams to deliver software which meets security, compliance and other audit requirements without slowing down our software development processes.
  • Providing line management and other professional guidance to a group of between two and five engineers, to help them navigate the business and adhere to the Company's policies and procedures, including the Partnership Agreement, so that the team's business objectives are achieved consistently.
  • Coaching the team to develop their own long-term goals and objectives around software engineering quality, safety and security so that we continuously improve the software products that we create.
