Team Lead (Growth)

HIRING FOR OUR GLOBAL CLIENT

YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR:

• Own your team's service(s) end-to-end. Architecture, build, deployment, monitoring and day-to-day operational health, within company's established engineering standards
• Make technical decisions within your domain, acting as the first line of technical judgement before anything reaches wider architecture review
• Keep existing functionality stable while delivering new work in parallel
• Make sure your team produces and keeps the evidence needed for PCI DSS and other compliance audits (change records, test evidence, sign-offs) as a standard part of delivery
• Stay hands-on, personally contributing to delivery of key initiatives
• Ensure that AI is used throughout the development process to enhance productivity without sacrificing quality
• Act as direct line manager to the engineers in your team, including regular 1:1s, performance management, day-to-day coaching and career development
• Support your products along with your team, ensuring that there is proper cover out of hours
• Work directly with the UK-based Product Manager to turn roadmap and requirements into a workable technical plan, and take charge of estimation and planning activities to build realistic plans
• Produce technical designs for your team's work, present them to the Senior Engineering Manager for sign-off, and see them through to delivery as priorities or real-world issues change
• Proactively flag technical risks and blockers to the Senior Engineering Manager before they become critical
