Job Description

At aberdeen, our ambition is to be the UK's leading Wealth & Investments group.

Strengthening talent and culture is one of our strategic priorities. We strive to make aberdeen a great place to work so that we can attract and retain the industry's best talent.

Our people put our stakeholders at the heart of everything they do by helping us to make a positive difference to the lives of our clients, customers, colleagues, shareholders and society.

We are focused on growing our direct and advised wealth platforms and repositioning our specialist asset management business to meet client demand. We are committed to providing excellent client service, supported by leading technology and talent.

aberdeen comprises three businesses, interactive investor (ii), Investments and Adviser, each of which focuses on meeting and adapting to our clients' evolving needs:

interactive investor, the UK's second largest direct-to-consumer investment platform, enables individuals in the UK to plan, save and invest in the way that works for them.

Our Adviser business provides financial planning solutions and technology for UK financial advisers, enabling them to create value for their customers.

Our Investments business is a specialist asset manager that focuses on areas where we have both strength and scale to capitalise on the key themes shaping the market, through either public markets or alternative asset classes.

About the department

At aberdeen Adviser, we are building a modern, scalable technology platform that empowers financial advisers to serve their clients more efficiently. Our engineering teams work in cross-functional squads to develop innovative, high-quality software solutions that make a real impact. We foster a culture of collaboration, experimentation, and continuous learning, where every engineer can shape the future of our platform.

About the Role

As an Engineering Lead, you will play a key role in leading a cross-functional squad, ensuring alignment between business goals, product vision, and technical execution.

You will provide technical leadership, mentor engineers, and drive innovation, working closely with product managers and UX designers to shape the future of our technology landscape. With a polyglot mindset, you will focus on solving real-world problems with the best tools and methodologies available. Your passion for continuous learning, AI-driven automation, and modern cloud architectures will help keep aberdeen Adviser at the forefront of digital transformation.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Ensure the squad makes the right architectural and technology decisions, leveraging cloud-native, scalable, and secure solutions on Microsoft Azure.
  2. Work closely with Product Managers and UX Designers to translate business and customer needs into technical solutions that deliver measurable impact.
  3. Encourage experimentation with AI, automation, and machine learning to improve engineering efficiency and enhance customer experiences.
  4. Drive test automation, CI/CD pipelines, and observability best practices, ensuring seamless deployment and monitoring of applications.
  5. Identify opportunities for improvement, refactor code, and propose innovative solutions that enhance engineering effectiveness.
  6. Collaborate across teams to ensure alignment between engineering, product, and business goals.
  7. Advocate for secure coding practices and ensure applications meet performance, reliability, and compliance standards.
About the candidate

Experience leading and mentoring technical teams in an Engineering Lead, Tech Lead, or similar role.

Expertise in designing and implementing RESTful microservices, with consideration for event-driven architectures where appropriate.

Familiarity with Microsoft Azure, including containerization, serverless functions, and microservices architectures.

Passion for AI, automation, and emerging technologies, with a drive to implement intelligent solutions.

A deep understanding of modern software engineering practices, including test-driven development (TDD), CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and observability.

Ability to mentor and support engineers at different levels, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

Our business

Enabling our clients to be better investors drives everything we do. Our business is structured around three distinct areas – our vectors of growth – focused on our clients' changing needs.

An inclusive way of working

At aberdeen we've adopted a 'blended working' approach. This approach combines the benefits of face-to-face collaboration, coaching and connecting in our offices with the flexibility of working from home. It enables colleagues to find a balance that works for their roles, their teams, our clients and our business.

An inclusive culture, where diverse perspectives drive our actions, is at the core of who we are and what we do.
