You'll bring:

  • Proven leadership experience in software engineering teams.
  • Hands-on technical expertise, ideally gained as an Engineering Manager, Principal Software Engineer, or similar.
  • A strong grasp of Agile methodologies, modern DevOps practices, and scalable architecture.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the confidence and energy to influence and inspire at all levels.
