ABOUT THE ROLE 

Our mission is bold and ambitious, and it’s supported by our values to dream big, build fast, and be brilliant.

In Platform, our mission is to provide Babylon Engineers with a global platform that has an unrivalled developer experience. These are exciting times - we provide tools and APIs to build the next generation of digital healthcare products at a pace that’s unprecedented in the healthcare industry. 

We are building a world class enterprise API platform for use by its developer community using a mix of best of breed solutions and custom development as required. Internal users will rely on the API platform to take a “Design First”, self service approach to creating API contracts using the latest API technologies such as GraphQL, OAS3 and JSON Schema which will then drive the rest of the process and toolchain to accelerate and automate the creation of mocking, testing, and documentation services for Babylon’s API estate. The goal is for developers to be able to rely on the Babylon API “platform aaS” to help them achieve their deliverables with minimum toil.

In addition, Babylon’s API “platform aaS” will deliver a collaborative governance framework for allowing all of the cross cutting teams to ensure that the APIs are consistent, secure, compliant, and performant throughout the API lifecycle.

We’re looking for an Engineer Manager with expertise, ambition, and passion for managing high performance engineering teams. 

As an Engineering Manager, you understand platform thinking, continuous integration, and test driven development. You will lead a team of highly skilled software engineers who are creating and evolving the platform that will let us rapidly engineer at scale. You are extremely ambitious about applying DevOps principles to your work across the full technology stack from infrastructure through APIs and Developer Portals.

In this role, you deeply understand how to continuously deliver and iterate on foundational platform software, as well as incrementally migrate software to a new platform. You will be comfortable leading teams through uncertainty, and know how to build, retain, manage, and train high performing teams that can build fast and aren’t afraid to make tough decisions. 

You will be responsible for creating a highly collaborative environment where team outcomes always come first.

While this is not primarily a hands-on role, we expect our engineering managers to be able to stay close to the codebase and engineering decisions, including by making occasional contributions. 

This team puts a strong emphasis on delivering inclusively designed and accessible products. We recognize that inclusive workforces create better products for all of our users. We actively encourage applications from disabled candidates, particularly people who use assistive technology in their daily lives.
