About the Job

We are looking for a strategic Engineering Lead to own our enterprise platform products as a business — connecting technology decisions to business outcomes. You will be the single point of accountability for the platform's direction, delivery commitments, budget, and value: translating business strategy into technical roadmaps, steering investment and cost-to-serve, and advising product and business leadership as a trusted consultant. You lead through influence, financial acumen, and stakeholder alignment — with enough technical depth to challenge architecture decisions and keep engineering honest.

What you do
- Own the platform strategy: define and evolve the product/platform roadmap in line with business priorities, market context, and enterprise architecture direction.
- Manage the platform as a P&L;: own budget planning, forecasting, and cost-to-serve; make build/buy/partner decisions and steer investment toward the highest business value.
- Align stakeholders: bring Product, Security, Operations,



and Business leaders to a shared technical direction and realistic delivery commitments; manage trade-offs transparently.
- Advise leadership: act as trusted technology consultant to product and business executives — translating complex technical topics into business language, risks, and options.
- Govern delivery and reliability: establish and track engineering KPIs (delivery velocity, change failure rate, MTTR, availability, cost-to-serve) and hold teams accountable for technical health as well as feature delivery.
- Steer architecture decisions: sponsor architecture reviews, trade-off analyses, and technology selection — ensuring scalability, security, and compliance without doing the detailed design yourself.
- Ensure operational and regulatory soundness: oversee SLAs/SLOs, incident management maturity, and audit/compliance readiness, especially in a regulated environment.
- Develop the organization: mentor tech leads and engineering managers, raise
