Responsibilities
Technical Delivery

  • Overseeing architecture and infrastructure decisions for the Biosphere platforms.
  • Upholding engineering best practices—code quality, CI/CD, testing, and security standards.
  • Driving technical innovation.
  • Optimising delivery processes (e.g. Agile/Scrum/Kanban).
  • Establishing robust metrics, monitoring team performance, and driving continuous improvement.
  • Ensuring timely, high-quality releases with reliability and maintainability in mind.

Leadership & Management

  • Line-managing 3–4 Technical Leads.
  • Providing coaching, performance development, and mentorship.
  • Ensuring career growth through planning and regular feedback.
  • Aligning engineering roadmaps with business goals and product direction.
  • Contributing to the creation and implementation of transparent "career ladders" for the roles within Engineering.
  • Driving continuous improvement, by challenging the status quo and fostering a culture of innovation.

Key Stakeholder Relationship Development

  • Collaborating with Product, Design, QA, and Customer Success to deliver impactful features.
  • Build a strong relationship with our Infrastructure team, encouraging more direct collaboration between engineers and their Infrastructure colleagues.

Culture

  • Championing i6's values: Improve, Influence, Impress, Innovation, Intelligence, Integrity.
  • Encouraging diversity, inclusion, collaboration, and a remote-first mindset.
  • Fostering cross-team collaboration and removing obstacles to delivery.

Experience

  • Proven experience managing multiple engineering teams (preferably 3–4), including line-management of Technical Leads.
  • Bachelor's degree - preferably in Software Engineering, Computer Science or similar, but other degrees would be considered.
  • At least 10 years experience in the software development realm; at least 3 years leading teams. Note that you are not expected to code in this role, but experience with our primary languages (PHP and Javascript/Typescript) would be beneficial.
  • Strong technical leadership in SaaS, Cloud-based platforms—ideally with real-time, data-driven applications.
  • Experience with Agile methodologies and delivery frameworks.
  • Strong grasp of architecture, and an ability to lead architectural decision making.
  • Solid understanding of engineering best practices: CI/CD, code reviews, test automation, observability, security; and a track record of implementing them.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor and grow technical leaders.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills across functions.
  • Experience with containerisation and orchestration, preferably in GCP or AWS environments.
  • Experience decomposing monolithic application into finer grained services.
