• Guide teams in modernising selected applications and redesigning backend services where required.
• Ensure seamless integration and interoperability between platform services, migrated applications, and external systems.
• Manage technical risks associated with migration, cutover, data integrity, and operational continuity.

Software Engineering & Delivery

• Lead solution design, technical implementation planning, and development execution across platform and application teams.
• Review solution designs, code, APIs, and technical deliverables to ensure quality and alignment with architecture standards.
• Champion engineering best practices including DevSecOps, CI/CD, automated testing, monitoring, observability, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Troubleshoot complex technical issues and provide hands-on support for critical architectural and integration challenges.
• Drive continual improvement of software delivery processes and platform reliability.

Cloud, Data & Integration

• Design cloud-native solutions that are secure, scalable, resilient, and cost-effective.
• Define integration patterns, API standards, event-driven architectures, and data exchange mechanisms.
• Oversee platform infrastructure, environments, deployment pipelines, monitoring, and operational tooling.
• Collaborate with data and AI teams to support analytics, AI-powered services, automation capabilities, and enterprise reporting requirements.
• Ensure compliance with cybersecurity, governance, and data management requirements.

Stakeholder & Team Leadership

• Partner with product managers and service designers to translate user needs into technical solutions.
• Engage stakeholders to explain technical options, trade-offs, and delivery implications.
• Mentor and coach engineers, fostering strong engineering and architectural capabilities across delivery squads.
• Work with vendors, consultants, and implementation partners where required.
• Contribute to resource planning, technical staffing, capability development, and delivery governance.
