Engineering Lead

This role owns how ZURU builds software for itself — the paved path engineers build on, and every internal application that ships on it. The Engineering Lead founds the Engineering function serving the Group internally, covering developer platform, forward deployed engineering, and reliability and cloud. One owner holds both the road and the traffic — because a road nobody drives on is not a road. The lead builds the team, sets the bar, and publishes capability other teams consume rather than gating their work.

An engineering leader who has built internal software other employees used day to day, run a platform or developer-experience team measured on adoption rather than throughput, and hired an engineering function from the ground up. You're fluent in agentic development — you judge the quality of the output, not only the velocity. You've owned production reliability for systems your team did not write. You hold both the road and the traffic, because you know one without the other doesn't work.
