I'm working with a pioneering tech organisation that is redefining how software engineering performance is measured and optimised across industries. Their cutting-edge technology delivers objective, data-driven insights that empower large enterprises to build better software—faster, more efficiently, and at reduced cost.

With a global footprint spanning the UK, US, India, and Mexico, and a diverse team of over 110 professionals speaking more than 25 languages, this is a high-growth, multicultural environment where innovation and performance go hand in hand.

• Act as a leader who not only understands but actively leverages software engineering metrics to guide the product roadmap. You will use data on system performance, developer velocity, and other key engineering metrics to identify product opportunities, improve efficiency, and ensure our products are built for scalability and long-term success.
• Lead, mentor and grow a high-performing product organisation, including managing, managers, leaders and product managers. Foster a culture of excellence, collaboration and continuous improvement within a team of 10+ individuals.
