Role

We are seeking a senior technology leader (Senior Principal Engineer / Chief Architect & Technology Strategy) to partner closely with the Head of Technology for Enterprise Solutions in shaping the technology direction of a complex regulated financial-services estate.

This is a hands-on principal engineer and architect role not a pure governance or advisory architecture function. The role exists to ensure technology strategy is grounded in engineering reality deep domain understanding and operational outcomes.

You will work directly with the Head of Technology to shape and refine strategy stress-testing ideas against engineering regulatory and operational constraints. You will engage closely with senior engineering leaders platform teams and product partners to turn strategy into real designs that can be built and run.

You will get involved early in complex or high-risk initiatives and step in when it matters most including during major incidents and recovery efforts. A key part of the role is knowing when to push forward when to simplify and when to slow down or stop.

You will act as the engineering authority across Enterprise Solutions leading primarily through influence rather than line management and the role carries broad responsibility for shaping architecture design and delivery decisions across multiple teams and domains.

You will balance long-term strategy with near-term delivery constraints operational resilience and regulatory expectations and represent the technology direction with clients and senior stakeholders explaining design choices and trade-offs clearly and credibly. Overall this role strengthens the technology function by making strategy buildable operable and defensible.
