* Align the engineering roadmap with business goals and help the business move towards its ambition of becoming a “tech-first” organization.
* Play a key role in delivering high-quality off-the-shelf products through technical leadership and cross-functional collaboration.
* Oversee the successful delivery of product features, technical solutions, and customer implementations.
* Ensure alignment of engineering practices, tools, and methods with the Technology Strategy across other areas (APAC).
* Provide technical guidance and leadership while ensuring the team is equipped to meet their goals and deliver world-class products.
About you:
* Degree in Computer Science, or a related field (or relevant experience).
* Extensive experience in product development lifecycle and agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban).
* Track record of dealing with conflicting senior stakeholders.
* Proven experience in product organizations, with a focus on development of off-the-shelf products.
* Experience driving culture within an engineering function of 30-50 engineers, ideally after mergers/acquisitions.
* Strong technical background in software engineering (Java, AWS, microservices architecture).
* Expertise in cloud environments and transitioning on-premise products to the cloud.
* Exceptional leadership and interpersonal skills with experience managing and developing diverse engineering teams.
* In-depth knowledge of security, scalability, and performance optimization within engineering solutions.
* Strong decision-making and problem-solving skills, particularly under pressure.
If you're a seasoned engineering leader with a background in software engineering and product development, and you are passionate about driving cultural and technological change, this is the role for you!
