We have strong Principal Engineers, Tech Leads, and a dedicated Platform/DevOps function already in place to drive architectural and deep technical decisions. What we need now is someone who leads with engineering management, delivery, and people development, backed by genuine technical fluency rather than defined by it. You'll be responsible for leading approximately 15-20 engineers across four squads: Apps (iOS & Android), Core Demand (Frontend & Backend), Pricing, and Platform/DevOps. Your mission is to build a high-performing, accountable engineering organisation that ships quality software predictably and sustainably-and to be the kind of leader who makes every engineer on your team better.
