As a Senior Manager in Software Engineering and Full Stack, you'll be the principal technical force behind a shared, production-grade platform that powers analytics, digital products, and autonomous AI workers across our Product Development & Supply (PDS) organisation. This is a deeply hands-on, senior individual-contributor role. You won't manage people — you'll set the technical bar through architecture, reference implementations, and engineering excellence. Working within our Analytics & AI Enablement Architecture & Components team, you'll sit alongside UI, UX, AI Engineering, and Architecture specialists in a globally distributed, multidisciplinary environment, helping to shape not just what we build, but how the entire organisation builds it. # What You'll Do Architect a Multi-Service Platform at Scale * Design and build distributed, multi-service platforms that orchestrate work across autonomous services and agents — with conditional routing, parallel execution, and error recovery * Treat the platform as an internal SaaS/PaaS: shared SDKs, service contracts, and reusable components that solution teams consume rather than rebuild from scratch * Build graph-based orchestration workflows that combine LLM reasoning, business logic, real-time data integration, and enterprise security patterns * Create extensible component libraries and platform patterns that serve multiple business domains simultaneously Build Production-Grade Backend Systems * Develop production FastAPI (or similar) applications with async I/O patterns for persistence and external services * Implement Server-Sent Events (SSE) and WebSocket protocols for real-time streaming responses * Design APIs and event-driven architectures for orchestration and service-to-service communication * Build robust error handling, graceful degradation, and enterprise security integration (SSO, access control), deploying containerised services via CI/CD Lead Frontend Architecture & Unified Experience * Build modern web frontends (React) and architect micro-frontend and Module Federation compositions so independently developed modules form one seamless, coherent experience * Develop and steward a shared component library and design system used across the entire platform * Design AI-enhanced UI patterns for streaming responses, conversational interfaces, and analytical visualisation Make MCP a First-Class Platform Capability * Design, build, and host production MCP servers that expose platform services and tools — ensuring the same underlying capabilities power both the web UI and Claude Desktop with no divergence between the two * Define golden-path patterns, shared MCP servers, and reusable templates so solution teams can ship dual-intent solutions rapidly * Establish MCP hosting, versioning, security, and operational standards for enterprise-grade...
