About this job
You will lead and inspire multiple engineering teams, setting the technical direction for a platform that must remain resilient, scalable, secure and ready to meet the evolving demands of modern law enforcement.

As the central engineering authority for your area, you will shape architectural approaches, guide technical standards, and act as a trusted partner to senior leaders across architecture, delivery, cloud technology, and security.
You will also be a key voice in project and programme decision‑making, ensuring our cloud capabilities are future‑focused, well‑resourced and engineered to the highest standard.
