Our Team

You’ll be joining our Enterprise Systems Engineering team as Senior tech lead for Economic Crime Engineering.

Our vision is to create dedicated squads that truly own our platforms end-to-end from building integrations and data pipelines through to keeping the lights in production. We want to create techno-functional teams who understand both the technology and the business domain, can move fast without breaking things, and become trusted partners to our Fraud and Fincrime business/Ops colleagues.

• Technical background covering Java development, data engineering/ETL, databases, real time event processing. You should be able to lead technical discussions and make architectural decisions.
• People leadership experience managing technical teams through delivery.
• Track record of managing vendor relationships for enterprise platforms to influence the strategic direction of the platforms.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with both technical and non-technical audiences- you’ll be explaining production outages to senior management and debating technical solutions with architects
