• Embed DevSecOps and modern engineering practices including CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, automated testing, observability, security controls and platform engineering principles.
• Operate as a trusted client advisor and hands-on technical leader, working with stakeholders to define problems, challenge assumptions, navigate ambiguity and shape pragmatic solutions aligned to business outcomes.
• Lead client and technical discussions, communicate complex concepts clearly to varied audiences, and coach engineers while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams throughout delivery.

Skills and attributes for success

• Experience designing APIs and integration patterns using REST, GraphQL, event-driven architectures and microservices, with cloud-native engineering across AWS and/or Azure, including Docker, Kubernetes and serverless architectures.
• Demonstrated consulting experience alongside technical depth, including structured problem solving, requirements discovery, stakeholder facilitation and the ability to navigate ambiguity and changing priorities.
• Ability to build credibility with clients, challenge constructively, influence technical and business decisions, and translate between business outcomes and technical solutions for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Ideally, you’ll also have the skills and attributes below but don’t worry if you don’t tick all the boxes. We’re interested in your aptitude, attitude and willingness to learn.
