That includes decomposing a monolithic application into clearer boundaries, evolving deployment from a Debian package model toward containers, reworking build and test pipelines, and improving the stability and performance of core services that every other engineering team depends on.</p>
<p data-local-id="57ec0b386324" data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="paragraph" data-prosemirror-node-block="true">You will lead and grow that team, stay technically close to the work, and partner with Product to build a roadmap that connects platform engineering to business outcomes. A significant part of this role is making sure the wider organisation understands the value the team delivers. Your success is measured by <strong data-prosemirror-content-type="mark" data-prosemirror-mark-name="strong">team effectiveness, delivery, and the organisation's trust in the platform team</strong>, not by your personal code output.</p>
