  • Lead disciplined use of AI-assisted engineering and communicate decisions, risks and progress across UK and US working hours
  • Build relationships and understand both teams' products, customers, architecture, dependencies and operational profiles during the first 30 days

  • Deliver predictable outcomes connecting secure build, Scout and Docker Hardened Images while reducing operational risk over one year

  • Experience prioritising across competing roadmaps, operational load and stakeholder commitments
  • Strong backend and distributed-systems judgement, including APIs, event-driven architectures, data stores, cloud-native infrastructure and production operations
  • Understanding of CI or build-system internals, containers and artefact workflows, plus interest in software supply-chain security and trust boundaries
  • Experience leading teams operating production infrastructure through on-call, incident response, observability, SLOs and reduction of recurring operational load
  • Strong product judgement and evidence of shaping roadmaps with Product
  • Clear written and verbal communication, cross-functional influence, customer closeness and comfort leading a remote-first organisation across European and US time zones
