Head of Engineering
Salary: 80,000 - 100,000 GBP per year
At LDMS, we are looking for a Java engineer!
Our tech stack:
Java, AWS, React
Requirements:
* Java / Spring Boot
* Postgres
* AWS / Docker
* Single Page Applications
* React / TypeScript
* CI/CD
* Solutions and Technical Architecture
* Quality best practice and automation
Your responsibilities:
As a Head of Engineering, you will be a member of the Product Engineering Leadership team, responsible for all aspects of architecture, engineering best practices, and quality across multiple products.
You will ensure that architecture, best practices, and quality are at a high standard and complement our ability to deliver frequent value to our customers and stakeholders. You will manage a team of technical leads across multiple disciplines. You enjoy and embrace agile ways of working and use your experience to know when it is appropriate to take a pragmatic solution and when to hold firm to more strategic implementations.
It is primarily a strategic technical role; however, from time to time, it will be necessary to get involved at the coal face, to support your team and wider department. You will be passionate about code craftsmanship and look to set high standards, coach others, and put systems & tools in place to ensure your standards are met. You will instill the DevOps paradigm in your teams, encouraging engineers to own the work they produce from cradle to grave.
You are comfortable taking a blank sheet of paper or adapting/extending an existing system, through to a working design and plan of implementation. You understand the metrics and KPIs to track and work towards, setting clear goals and objectives for your teams in line with the wider business vision. You are comfortable communicating complex technical strategies and solutions at all levels of the business.
Key Responsibilities:
From time to time, the key responsibilities may change or be adapted to the needs of the business; however, the below gives an overview of the key areas of focus:
Day to Day:
* Single point of contact for the Head of Product Engineering and the wider business for all queries relating to our products’ strategies.
* Essentially a strategic role, but you must feel comfortable rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in should the need arise.
* Supporting and developing Technical Leads.
* Ensure all functions under your wing have refined and prioritized backlogs to draw work from.
* Work with Product and Delivery to ensure our engineering solutions fit hand in glove with our business objectives.
* Set clear goals and objectives for your direct reports that can ideally trickle down to the wider functions.
* Ensure that the right level of documentation is created and kept up to date regarding architecture, engineering decisions, and processes.
