Technical Lead

We’re all about helping our members make the most of their money. And while they go after their goals, you can too. As a Technical Lead, you'll play a key role in shaping and leading our Data Engineering capability, helping deliver modern, scalable and secure data solutions that support better outcomes for our members and the business.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you'll combine solution design, engineering expertise and people leadership to influence our technology direction and champion engineering excellence. Working closely with architects, engineers, analysts, delivery teams and business stakeholders, you'll help define standards, mentor team members and drive the delivery of high-quality data platforms and integration solutions.

You'll lead the design and development of enterprise data solutions while promoting best practice across engineering, architecture and governance. You'll also contribute to platform strategy and roadmaps, identify opportunities to leverage emerging technologies and help foster a culture of innovation, collaboration and continuous improvement.

If you enjoy solving complex technical challenges, influencing technical direction and remaining hands-on with technology, we'd love to hear from you.
