As our next Director of Engineering, you’ll be the architect of our delivery engine. This isn't about sitting in the code all day; it's about shaping how engineering actually happens in an AI-first world. You’ll lead the systems, the people, and the workflows that allow us to ship world-class software at a pace that leaves the competition behind.

Forget long lists, here’s what you’ll actually spend your time on:

• Defining the AI-enabled SDLC: Moving beyond simple "copilots" to integrate agentic workflows, automated reviews, and AI-driven incident response into our daily DNA.
• Orchestrating the machine: Evolving our "Golden Paths," developer platforms, and CI/CD patterns so that "how work moves" from idea to production is a competitive advantage.
• Leading through leaders: Mentoring 3–5 Engineering Managers to build high-accountability teams that ship frequently, with fewer surprises and higher quality.
• Setting the technical agenda: Making the high-stakes calls on architecture, reliability, and security across a significant slice of our estate.
• Driving high-intensity execution: Removing obstacles with pace and ensuring our ambitious roadmap becomes a reality through clarity and technical judgment.
  
  

• Deep technical credibility: You can hold your own with staff engineers on distributed systems, security risks, and performance bottlenecks.
• An AI-forward mindset: You have a strong POV on how agentic patterns and human-in-the-loop design transform engineering throughput.
• Systems thinking: You focus on the system of work standardising where it helps and granting autonomy where it matters.
• Proven leadership at scale: You’ve successfully led multiple teams through managers and know how to build a strong leadership bench.
• A hunger for pace: You thrive in high-intensity environments where expectations are high, and the "typical" corporate speed isn't enough.
