As the Staff Engineer for Enterprise Services, you will apply deep enterprise engineering expertise to shape technical direction and delivery across Enterprise Services. Operate as a force multiplier across infrastructure, tooling, and enterprise platforms, simplifying complexity and raising engineering quality and confidence across multiple teams. Provide hands\-on technical leadership where it adds most value, partnering with engineering and operational leaders to translate business objectives into scalable, resilient, and secure services.

Some of the great things you’ll be doing:

• Own and deliver end\-to\-end technical outcomes across the Enterprise Services domain, ensuring alignment to business objectives and long\-term sustainability.


• Define, evolve, and present technical strategy, domain roadmaps, target architecture, and engineering guardrails for enterprise platforms and services.


• Initiate and lead high\-impact, cross\-team initiatives that reduce systemic risk, simplify the technical estate, and accelerate delivery.


• Bring clarity to complex or ambiguous problem spaces, defining outcomes, sequencing work, and documenting trade\-offs.


• Take end\-to\-end accountability for significant technical decisions, balancing value, quality, speed, cost, and risk.


• Act as a technical escalation point for complex delivery or architectural challenges, de\-risking through design, prototypes, or hands\-on intervention where appropriate.


• Raise engineering capability by mentoring senior engineers and supporting the development of staff\-level thinking and judgement.


• Partner closely with engineering managers, product leaders, and operational stakeholders to align technical direction, roadmaps, and outcomes.


• Contribute to organisation\-wide engineering standards and communities of practice, influencing consistency and quality through leadership rather than hierarchy.

• Extensive experience owning technical outcomes across infrastructure, platform, or enterprise tooling domains.


• Demonstrated experience in enterprise platform engineering, including Azure, M365, identity, and automation technologies.


• Strong system design and architectural judgement, defining technical direction, guardrails, and patterns that influence teams beyond direct authority.


• Track record of making consequential decisions in ambiguous problem spaces and influencing senior stakeholders through to delivery.


• Practical experience applying AI\-assisted tooling and intelligent automation at enterprise scale, including governing safe adoption.


• Experience operating within regulated environments (FCA or similar), partnering with InfoSec and Risk to maintain security and compliance posture.


• Experience leading enterprise vendor and reseller relationships, including technical assurance and commercial governance.


• Comfortable owning technical governance of enterprise platforms, including operating and improving the supporting processes.

• Experience with enterprise collaboration and productivity platforms (Atlassian suite, ServiceNow, SharePoint).


• Understanding of ITIL\-aligned service management, operational reliability, and change management processes.


• Demonstrated contribution to organisation\-wide technology standards, patterns, and communities of practice.
