  • Support the testing and validation process to ensure the feature works smoothly and meets all compliance requirements before release.

About You:

You’ve led technical product delivery in fast-paced, cross-functional environments. (Previous experience of a focus on regulatory or financial features is a bonus). You can demonstrate your ability to manage complex multi-faceted projects. Experience working with mobile apps (Flutter experience a bonus) and third-party integrations. Solid grasp of backend ecosystems: you speak microservices, APIs, CI/CD, and databases comfortably. Comfortable working with external vendors, internal devs, and SLT to drive delivery outcomes. Pragmatic and delivery-focused — you know how to get things over the line, even with constraints. Strong communication, problem-solving, agile, user experience, data analysis skills

The Company Tech Stack (for context):

Mobile : Flutter Backend : .NET, C#, SQL, RESTful APIs, Azure DevOps Frontend : Angular, JavaScript, HTML/CSS Infrastructure : Microservices, CI/CD pipelines
