Our multi-discipline global engineering team of about 1500 people works in 'super teams' focused on platform areas and innovative products. Teams choose their own methods (often Kanban) and use tools like Notion, Asana, Github, CircleCI, Terraform Enterprise for continuous delivery, and Datadog, Sentry, and Cloudwatch for monitoring.
You'll be joining to lead a team of five to seven engineers on the Transactional Comms team, a sub team of the wider Comms team.
Your main focus will be leading the team in developing and implementing our new transactional messaging platform. This system is currently being rolled out to numerous clients and thousands of users across the globe, giving them the capability to fully configure and manage their written communications with their customers.
