SDLC Ownership & Process –

• Own the full lifecycle from requirements and planning through development, QA, release, and ongoing application support.
• Establish and strengthen repeatable, well-documented SDLC processes, bringing greater consistency and rigor across the lifecycle.

Quality & Test Strategy –

• Own and implement the Unit Testing practice, embedding it as a core part of how the team builds software.
• Define a comprehensive test strategy spanning Unit, Integration, Regression, and Automated Testing.

• Drive measurable improvements in defect detection, test coverage, and release quality.

Application Support & Reliability –

• Own production reliability for both legacy and modern applications, including incident response and root-cause analysis.
• Establish monitoring, alerting, and support processes that reduce downtime and mean-time-to-resolution.
• Partner with the implementation specialist to ensure smooth rollouts and a strong handover into support.

Leadership, People & Culture –

• Team culture is central to business. The Head of Software Engineering is expected to protect and sustain the high standard of culture the team has today, and to ensure it is never compromised as the team grows and changes.
• Work closely with the existing Senior Team Lead, mentoring and developing them and supporting their continued growth as an Engineering leader.
• Manage, mentor, and grow the wider team, setting technical standards, code review practices, and a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
• Work with business stakeholders to align delivery with priorities across both internal and customer-facing systems.

REQUIREMENTS:

• 9+ Years in Software Development, with a demonstrable progression into technical leadership.
• Proven, hands-on track record of building SDLC processes from an immature baseline into a mature, repeatable practice.

• Demonstrated experience defining and implementing test strategy, including unit testing and test automation.

Advantageous –

• Cloud experience is highly beneficial, particularly the ability to plan and lead a migration.
• Experience in modernizing legacy systems and introducing containerization where appropriate.
• Exposure to both internal LOB systems and external customer-facing product delivery.
