**Who we are looking for**

We are looking for an experienced engineering lead to work with our development teams to deliver high-quality software to the business. You will report to the Head of APAC Investment Technology & Head of Enterprise Software Engineering and you have to be proficient and up to date in your field with a good idea of how to design software for future supportability and extensibility.

As the Engineering Lead, your focus will be twofold. Primarily, you will spend time with investment delivery teams, guiding their design and implementation, spotting opportunities for improvement, sharing new ideas and best practices, and measuring the difference you make. You’ll also be guiding and mentoring other engineers in your area, including setting technical objectives, and reviewing subsequent performance. Next, you will spend time working with Enterprise Software Engineering and other Engineering Leads, helping shape the software engineering culture at Schroders. You will contribute to standards, patterns, practices, reference architectures, shared components, and many other things that will improve the way we deliver software to the business.

You are a versatile engineer with ability to express your ideas clearly, without being too wedded to them. You will put collaboration at the heart of your approach to software development, inviting input widely and making sure all voices are heard.
