Engineering Lead, Digital Technology

**Who we're looking for**

We're after a very experienced and capable engineer to work with our development teams to deliver high-quality software, quickly and reliably, that has a tangible impact on our business. This role will report into the Head of Digital, Distribution and Marketing Technology, Asia Pacific

You must be proficient and up to date in your field, have a good idea of how to design software for future supportability and extensibility, and be able to command the respect of your engineering peers immediately.

As an Engineering Lead, your focus will be twofold. Firstly, you will spend time with teams across your area, working on delivery, guiding their design and implementation, spotting opportunities to improve what they do, sharing new ideas and best practice, and measuring the difference you make. You'll also be guiding and mentoring other engineers in your area, including contributing technical objectives and reviewing subsequent performance.

Secondly, you will spend time working with Enterprise Software Engineering and other Engineering Leads, helping to shape the software engineering culture at Schroders. You'll 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'll need to be a versatile and active engineer, and be able to express your ideas clearly, without being too wedded to them. You'll put collaboration at the heart of your approach to software development, inviting input widely and making sure all voices are heard.
