Enterprise Engineer

Overview

We are seeking an experienced Engineering Excellence Lead to help shape and mature our Cyber Engineering organisation. This role is focused on building a strong engineering culture grounded in automation, standardisation, and continuous improvement across multiple teams.

You will play a key role in defining how engineering is done across Cyber — driving consistency in tooling, pipelines, patterns, and practices while enabling teams to deliver faster, safer, and more efficiently.

This is a highly collaborative role, working across engineering, product, and architecture teams to establish scalable, reusable, and secure engineering standards that improve overall delivery performance and developer experience.

Engineering Excellence & Standards

• Help establish and evolve the Engineering Excellence programme across Cyber
• Build and nurture a community of practice to drive consistency, standardisation, and continuous improvement
• Define, document, and promote engineering best practices across teams
• Identify and implement engineering standards, patterns, and ways of working that improve efficiency and quality
• Facilitate the design, creation, and adoption of standard build and deployment pipelines across Cyber
• Partner with engineering teams to improve CI/CD maturity and automation adoption
• Ensure engineering processes and tooling are efficient, scalable, and aligned to organisational needs
• Drive automation-first principles across infrastructure and application delivery
• Promote cross-functional reuse of engineering assets across teams and products
• Champion a “build once, use many times” approach to platforms, pipelines, and infrastructure
• Improve time-to-market by increasing reuse and reducing duplication across teams
• Engage across Cyber and wider business functions to ensure alignment of engineering approaches

Product & Requirements Engineering

• Work with engineering and product teams to define requirements for secure, scalable, and operationally efficient services
• Ensure non-functional requirements (security, reliability, scalability, compliance) are embedded into product design
• Support standardised product selection approaches to ensure engineering suitability and operational readiness

Agile Coaching & Engineering Culture

• Coach and support Agile teams to adopt engineering best practices and standard patterns
• Promote a strong focus on customer-centric engineering (“concept to product to customer”)
• Encourage inner-sourcing, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement across teams

Leadership & Technical Influence

• Partner with Engineering Leads and Capability Owners to ensure alignment and delivery of engineering outcomes
• Influence technical direction across multiple teams and domains
• Provide guidance on engineering quality, design authority, and delivery standards

• Strong Dev Ops and platform engineering experience, both hands-on and at design/architecture level
• Degree (or equivalent) in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline
• Extensive experience as a Senior Engineer, Technical Architect, or similar senior technical role
• Proven track record of leading engineering improvements in large, complex organisations
• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability, with the ability to assess technical, commercial, and regulatory constraints
• Experience operating in high-change, high-scale, matrixed environments
• Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills across distributed/global teams
• Proven ability to influence technical direction and drive delivery outcomes
• Strong understanding of systems engineering, requirements management, and scalable solution design
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and influencing skills at senior levels
• Fluent written and spoken English, with ability to collaborate across diverse global teams

• Experience in financial services or other highly regulated industries
• Exposure to Cyber Security engineering practices, tooling, and standards
• Experience working in environments with strong compliance and governance requirements
