This role will be working in a newly formed team within Adaptavist Product, line managing one Software Engineer and overseeing the contributions of 3 other engineers, as well as focusing on the development of an application within information security. The Engineering Team Lead role is a pivotal position within our organisation. This role will provide invaluable contributions towards the shaping and enhancement of our Engineering culture, working in tandem with fellow Team Leads and Engineering Managers

This position will collaborate closely with an Engineering Manager and an extensive, multi-talented product team, both locally and remotely, to drive the development of cutting-edge InfoSec and Compliance Applications. As the Engineering Team Lead of a dynamic, newly-formed team, your remit will include working closely with product managers and leadership to devise a strategic roadmap aimed at the successful delivery of high-quality applications and features within the InfoSec and Compliance domain. The applications will encompass a myriad of ecosystems (including, but not limited to, Atlassian and monday.com) and may also encompass standalone SaaS apps.

As the highest-ranking engineer within the team, you will take the reigns in facilitating solution design, while building upon the existing knowledge and skills within your team. This will also involve proactively seeking input from other engineering teams. You will lead a team practicing continuous delivery so you have to be comfortable shipping to production daily and also working with more traditional software delivery.
