  • Ensure technical decisions and engineering direction remain aligned to business and customer objectives.
  • Work closely with product, architecture, delivery and external partners.
  • Prepare a clear and effective handover for the permanent engineering leader.

  • Able to get up to speed quickly and operate effectively in an interim capacity.
  • Strong technical judgement and stakeholder management skills.
  • Comfortable working across internal teams, third parties and large delivery partners.

Our culture reflects our lean and self-organisation attitude. We encourage our colleagues to take risks, make decisions, work in a collaborative way and talk to everyone to enhance communication. Freedom and Responsibility go hand in hand, and we value commitment, feedback, and empathy.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
