You will create a technical vision for the team that is inspiring and navigational, ensuring we build the right things, the right way, at the right time.

Your technical leadership will span across our core apps platform and design systems, as well as across our iOS and Android teams. Your leadership will ensure that we collaborate and converge where it makes sense to, ensuring that the right people are involved to make technical decisions in a timely manner.

In this role, you will be pivotal in driving these initiatives forward.
