• Familiarity with Spring Boot and Java application environments would be advantageous.

Ideal Profile

This role will suit someone who is highly organised, delivery-focused and comfortable working at the intersection of project delivery and software engineering.

The successful candidate does not need to be the hands-on technical lead, but must be sufficiently technical and SDLC-savvy to challenge assumptions, identify gaps, understand engineering dependencies and quickly determine whether delivery is on track.

They will be comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment, maintaining detailed oversight of a large API portfolio while keeping the team focused on measurable outcomes.
