Proficiency in Linux/Unix environments and shell scripting. Deep understanding of source control, testing strategies, and agile development practices. Self-motivated with a strategic mindset and a passion for driving innovation in data engineering. Desirable Criteria Experience delivering data pipelines on Hortonworks/Cloudera on-prem and leading cloud migration initiatives. Familiarity with: Apache Airflow Data modelling and metadata management Experience influencing enterprise data strategy and contributing to architectural governance. Changed this now. I was confusing this with PDE role as I am working on that in parallel. Hope this makes sense now. data solutions rather than architectures? Should add Python here as a key tech we use Have mentioned Python in 'Minimum Criteria' section below, but will add here too this could be added to Essential Criteria ? stakeholder and project management ? Have updated in essential criteria below. But I have now used the previous version to create requisition in OBS. Will see if it can be changed. What is the difference between "minimum" and "essential" criteria. Both imply that they are mandatory and so could be one list? This is a bit confusing. I used to have just one, but this is the standard format of JD that the Bank wants us to follow. Here is the difference: Min Criteria: This must list the minimum technical skills/experience/qualifications required to do the job and should be measurable/scoreable. The screening questions you select must link to these, in order to allow candidates to best demonstrate their suitability for the role. Essential: This lists other important technical skills/experience/qualifications, and also more behavioural competencies. These are ones that are better assessed at interview rather than on screening questions on the application form Ok, I think we could go back and ask HR about this as it does seem confusing and to me doesn't give a good impression of the Bank to applicants at it looks like 2 lists for the same thing. I had checked this earlier, but seems they want us to follow this format. When I advertised last time, I just mentioned Minimum Criteria, but they said it has to be split into Minimum and Essential. Don't think we need to mention Atlas or Cloudera Manager as we hardly ever use those. Airflow could be useful so would leave that in.

With continued investment in engineering, tooling, and leadership, they're looking for a talented Head of Engineering to help evolve and scale their software engineering function. This role suits someone who came up through software engineering, understands modern development at depth, and now leads through strong principles, clear thinking, and trust rather than command-and-control. The Role You'll own the end-to-end software development operation, leading a small group of Software Development Managers (4-5) who manage 40-50 engineers across software development. Engineering & leadership is UK-based. This isn't a role for someone stepping away from engineering, it's for someone who still cares deeply about how software is built, even at senior leadership level. What You'll Be Responsible For Owning delivery, quality, and scalability across the development function. Embedding modern DevOps practices as part of development - CI/CD, automation, small batch delivery, and fast feedback. Driving continuous improvement using metrics and meaningful engineering KPIs. Improving developer productivity through better tooling, process, and engineering discipline. Leading and developing managers, creating consistency while allowing teams autonomy. Partnering closely with the CTO on technology strategy, platform evolution, and future capability. Balancing delivery pressure with sustainable, high-quality engineering. About You 5+ years in a senior engineering leadership role (Director, Head of Engineering, VP, or Senior Engineering Manager). Strong technical background, having progressed from hands-on software engineering. Proven experience managing managers and scaling engineering teams 30+. Comfortable leading distributed and offshore teams. Deep understanding of modern & mature software development and DevOps practices. Analytical, pragmatic, and outcome-focused; with the credibility to engage at both strategic and technical levels. Why This Role Senior leadership position with genuine influence and ownership. A company that invests in technology, tools, and training . Modern tech stack, robust engineering processes, and clear growth ambitions. Remote-first culture with purposeful collaboration. Opportunity to shape engineering culture at scale, not just maintain it. If you're managing managers, scaling teams, and want to do it in an environment that values engineering quality and long-term thinking, I'd be keen to talk.

Familiarity with documentation workflows and tech' authoring standards. Exposure to ITIL-aligned change/release processes and ISO/IEC quality/security frameworks. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field with a high computing content. Core Competencies Technical leadership: Sets high bars, makes pragmatic decisions, and can deep dive when needed. Delivery excellence: Turns strategy into outcomes, manages trade-offs, and drives predictability. Communication: Explains complex topics to varied audiences; crisp executive updates. People and culture: Builds inclusive, high-trust teams; coaches and multiplies talent. Systems thinking: Optimises end-to-end flow and reliability, not just local focus. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) DORA: Lead time for changes; Deployment frequency; Change failure rate; MTTR. Quality: Defect escape rate; Test coverage health; Mean time between incidents; Performance SLAs/SLO adherence. Flow and predictability: Throughput, cycle time, on-time delivery vs. plan, WIP limits adherence. Security and compliance: Vulnerability remediation time; dependency hygiene; SBOM coverage; audit readiness. Working Practices and Governance SDLC policies and quality gates are enforced via automation (build, test, scan, deploy) with clear "go/no-go" criteria at each stage. Documentation is a first-class deliverable; releases are accompanied by updated architecture notes, API references, and user guides. Continuous improvement: Regular retrospectives across teams; quarterly engineering reviews; blameless culture. Personal Attributes You manage your time effectively.
