In this Job I am Accountable For
My impact reaches beyond my immediate team; and I provide perspective and context for technology choices across my directorate. The work that I do has foundational impact across teams in my area and the directorate that I am a member of. I am a technical leader for my teams and others will regularly come to me for mentorship and support. I am comfortable both supporting other engineers in their delivery and taking the lead on key features as appropriate. I have delivered multiple projects that move the needle for the business. I have demonstrated technical breadth and depth; I am an expert in my domain. At this level I display a high degree of ownership for the work conducted by the team. I am accountable for the quality of every result; produced by individuals and teams. I am an advocate of best practices across my directorate. I build maturity in the way we develop; deliver and operate services. I ensure that we’re learning from the best in the industry; designing and implementing appropriate testing and deployment strategies. I can anticipate feature evolution of my product. I utilise this when facilitating design sessions to ensure that the system architecture evolves to support future requirements. I understand the wider Tesco architectural strategy and champion its application to the systems that I work on. At this level my job starts to become just as much about exercising technical judgment as it does about implementation. I am comfortable managing competing priorities and am able to bring order to ambiguous scenarios. I create optimal outcomes combining short-term and long-term goals; utilising data driven decision making techniques to take appropriate trade-offs. I can identify risks and proactively engage with product and programme managers. I am a strong communicator within my team and to my stakeholders. I am a trusted mentor; a role-model for more junior engineers. I am approachable and am frequently asked to mentor those around me. I prioritise sharing skills and technical knowledge across the directorate; both informally in 1:1 discussions and by arranging more formal training opportunities.
