Your application will be scored anonymously against the published criteria and reviewed by more than one assessor. Stage 2: Short practical exercise (video) If you progress, we'll send you a short brief and a few suggested technologies you could use.

For this role, we will be looking for evidence of technical judgement and engineering thinking, for example, how you approach system design, reliability, security, data or AI safety, rather than production quality or polished demos. The exercise is designed to be accessible to candidates who lead engineering teams and may not code day to day. Videos will be scored by a small group of assessors using clear criteria. Stage 3: Interview A shortlist of candidates will be invited to a competency-based interview, assessed against the criteria set out in the job description.
