About the Role

We are seeking a dynamic Director of Engineering to spearhead and expand the engineering division of Olly Olly.

This position is responsible for engineering execution, technical leadership, and operational excellence throughout the organization. You will oversee all engineering outcomes, from team performance to delivery reliability and technical strategy, while implementing the necessary systems and discipline to function as a high-performing, scalable team.

This is a builder-operator position, not merely a maintenance role. You will step into a fast-paced, agile setting and are expected to introduce structure without hindering progress.

Your Responsibilities

1. Engineering Leadership & Accountability

  • Drive the performance of the engineering team, ensuring delivery aligns with business objectives

  • Mentor and develop engineering managers and senior engineers across a global team

  • Cultivate a culture of ownership, responsibility, and ongoing improvement

  • Ensure managers are accountable for their teams' health, performance, and delivery

2. Technical Direction & Governance

  • Define and direct architectural standards and crucial engineering decisions

  • Implement robust technical governance across infrastructure, security, and access

  • Guarantee effective system design to facilitate scalability, reliability, and product advancement

  • Translate intricate technical concepts into clear business implications and considerations

  • Maintain a hands-on approach to guide architecture and assist teams without functioning as an individual contributor

3. Platform Reliability & Infrastructure

  • Oversee system stability, uptime, and performance across all platforms

  • Establish best practices for incident response, deployment processes, and infrastructure maintenance
