About the role We're seeking a hands-on Tech Lead with strong leadership and collaboration skills to guide the migration of legacy 3-tier enterprise applications to scalable, cloud-native architectures on AWS, balancing technical innovation with effective stakeholder engagement. In this role, you will not only lead and mentor an agile, cross-functional engineering team, but also remain deeply involved in the technical delivery-applying your expertise directly to architect, code, and implement solutions. You will set technical standards, write and review code, and solve complex challenges alongside your team, ensuring resilient, high-performance systems that empower our global platforms and serve millions of users worldwide. This is an opportunity to establish the foundation for future innovation, including the adoption of event-driven architecture (EDA) and modern practices to support successful cloud migration, while building strong relationships across teams and stakeholders to drive alignment and adoption. We are looking for someone who leads by example, demonstrates recent hands-on experience with modern technologies, and is passionate about both technical excellence and team development. Key Responsibilities Shape Cloud-Native Architecture: Lead the migration of legacy applications to AWS, designing scalable, resilient architectures using approaches like microservices, serverless, and containerisation, while communicating design rationale to diverse stakeholders for buy-in and feedback. Drive Observability: Implement robust observability frameworks to ensure system performance, reliability, and proactive issue resolution, fostering a team culture of shared accountability and continuous improvement. Prepare for Event-Driven Architecture: Design systems with flexibility for EDA patterns, collaborating with cross-functional groups to identify opportunities for decoupled, scalable solutions. Build Web-App Solutions: Develop responsive, high-performance web applications using modern frameworks integrated with cloud-native backends, adapting to user feedback and business priorities through iterative collaboration.

Ensure Security and Compliance: Champion secure practices aligned with industry standards, influencing stakeholders to prioritize security in decision-making processes. Lead Automation and CI/CD: Drive automation through CI/CD pipelines to accelerate delivery and minimise technical debt, promoting agile ways of working that encourage team input and adaptability. Mentor and Collaborate: Guide engineers, foster a culture of learning and inclusivity, and collaborate with product teams, architects, and stakeholders to align technical solutions with business goals, using strong communication skills to bridge technical and non-technical perspectives.
