• Lead the design and development of application systems and software, ensuring solutions align with the overall architecture blueprint and meet evolving business requirements.
• Partner with multiple management teams to define system enhancements that support the deployment of new products and process improvements.
• Resolve high-impact technical problems by conducting in-depth analysis of complex business processes, system workflows, and industry standards.
• Develop and enforce standards for coding, testing, debugging, and implementation to maintain quality and consistency across the engineering team.
• Build comprehensive knowledge of how business functions such as architecture and infrastructure interconnect, applying this understanding to deliver integrated technical solutions.
• Translate business context and domain knowledge into well-scoped technical solutions, bridging the gap between stakeholder intent and engineering execution across the full development lifecycle.
• Apply AI-assisted coding tools such as Git Hub Copilot or Devin with critical engineering judgment — reviewing outputs rigorously, asking the right questions to validate context, and safeguarding code quality, security, and architectural integrity before integration.
• Mentor and coach mid-level developers and analysts, providing technical guidance and allocating work to support team delivery and professional growth.
• Assess risk in engineering and business decisions, ensuring compliance with applicable regulations, policies, and controls while maintaining transparency in issue escalation and reporting.

• Proven experience in applications development or systems analysis, with a demonstrable record of delivering complex software solutions.
• Deep expertise in system analysis and software application programming, with the ability to independently evaluate and resolve technical challenges.
• Proven ability to manage and deliver technology projects end-to-end, coordinating across teams and stakeholders to achieve successful outcomes.
• Subject matter expertise in at least one domain of applications development, with the depth to set technical direction and define best practices.
• Strong T-shaped engineering capability — deep technical specialism combined with the breadth to understand business processes, interpret stakeholder needs, and design solutions that are both technically sound and commercially relevant.
• Strong leadership and project management capability, with experience guiding mid-level engineers and analysts in a delivery-focused environment.
• Clear and concise written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to both engineering and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to reprioritise rapidly in response to shifting business or technical demands, maintaining delivery momentum under changing conditions.

• Experience working within large-scale financial services or similarly complex regulated technology environments.
• Hands-on experience with prompt engineering and agentic or skills-based AI solutions — designing workflows where AI models operate as active participants in the development lifecycle, not just productivity accelerators.
• A demonstrable habit of staying current with the evolving AI tooling landscape — actively engaging with new developments, sharing knowledge across teams, challenging established approaches where appropriate, and enabling colleagues to adopt AI capability safely and effectively beyond surface-level use.
