• Deep expertise in software architecture and distributed systems design.
• Strong engineering judgement with the ability to clearly explain and balance complex technical trade offs.
• Experience designing and evolving APIs, events, and data ownership in large scale systems.
• Track record of modernising legacy systems and moving toward cloud native architectures.
• Strong experience building secure, scalable, and resilient cloud based solutions (AWS or equivalent).
• Experience influencing architectural change and driving alignment across engineering and product partners.
