Role Summary

The Engineering Lead (Director) is a hands-on senior engineering and solution architecture leader within EY FSO Technology Consulting. The role has end-to-end technical accountability for the architecture, build, deployment, operation, security, resilience, and continuous improvement of complex client platforms.

This is not solely a programme-management or governance position. The successful candidate must remain technically current and be capable of contributing directly through production-grade coding, prototyping, code and pull-request reviews, solution design, architecture decision-making, performance analysis, and diagnosis of critical production issues.

The Engineering Lead will act as the principal technical authority for assigned engagements: translating business and non-functional requirements into implementable architectures, setting engineering standards and guardrails, making, and defending technology trade-offs, and ensuring teams deliver secure, scalable, resilient, observable, and cost-effective solutions. The role will also lead the practical adoption of AI-assisted and agent-enabled engineering, with appropriate evaluation, governance, security, privacy, and human oversight.
