About the Role

This is not a traditional Tech-Assurance Specialist role. You will work directly with engineers and leadership to challenge how critical systems are designed, built, and delivered, focusing on the risks that matter. You will operate across a wide range of projects, from low-latency platforms to large-scale data systems. You will build a deep understanding of how things work and where they can fail, asking the right questions and providing clear, evidence-based insight to improve outcomes.

The role suits someone with strong technical curiosity and commercial awareness. You will be comfortable diving into complex systems and delivery mechanics while also assessing how they support strategic goals.

Responsibilities

• Analyzing system architecture, interactions, and alignment with overall strategy
• Deep diving into areas like CI/CD, resilience, availability, and APIs
• Working with engineers to map systems, data flows, and dependencies
• Using data, modern tooling, and AI-assisted analysis to spot patterns, weaknesses, and emerging risks early
• Evaluating how work is structured, prioritized, and executed across teams
• Assessing how goals translate into real delivery on the ground
• Identifying gaps at system boundaries, integrations, and third-party touchpoints
• Reviewing performance metrics to ensure they reflect real outcomes
• Using AI tools to synthesize complex technical information, identify non-obvious risks, and improve the quality and speed of insights
• Breaking down complex systems and issues into simple, useful insights
• Sharing findings with senior engineers and leadership to influence decisions
• Highlighting opportunities to improve systems, delivery, and strategy
• Contributing to a modern, technology-focused approach to risk assessment

Qualifications

• Interest in using AI and data to analyze complex systems, surface non-obvious risks, and enhance decision-making
• Enjoy moving between technical detail and big-picture thinking and are naturally curious about how systems, teams, and technologies actually work
• Experience in engineering or technology risk, with knowledge of modern practices such as Agile, DevOps, CI/CD, and distributed systems
• Ability to form clear, practical views in ambiguous situations, balancing technical and commercial considerations
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence through insight and credibility
• Strong academic background, ideally in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related analytical field
