A Day in the Life of A Tech Delivery Lead – CDS Platform

As Tech Delivery Lead for CDS, you are the operational backbone of the application engineering team. While Tech Leads define how things are built, you ensure they get built — on time, to standard, and without chaos. You will bring structure and accountability to a fast-growing internal team spanning API, data, and QA streams, and act as the connective tissue between engineering and the business. Beyond coordinating people, you will drive the team's evolution toward smarter ways of working — creating the conditions where AI-assisted tooling, sound processes, and human expertise combine to deliver a stable, continuously improving platform. Your mission is to transform a technically capable but organizationally fragmented team into a high-performing, predictable delivery machine — at a moment when CDS is expanding rapidly and stability is non negotiable.

In this role, You will..

1.Delivery Coordination & Team Leadership 

• Own end-to-end delivery coordination for CDS across API, data, and QA streams — so no engineer works in isolation. 

• Drive resource planning across all streams, including capacity allocation between API, data, and QA teams, to ensure the right balance of skills and effort is assigned to each sprint and project phase.

• Run and own all delivery rituals (standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, release reviews) and ensure they produce real outcomes, not ceremony. 

• Maintain a live, shared view of what is in-flight, what is at risk, and what is blocked — and act on it daily. 

• Coordinate internal Tech Leads, Senior Developers, and QA while ensuring vendor and partner contributors are fully integrated into the delivery flow. 

2. Process Discipline & Platform Stability 

• Establish and enforce engineering processes — PR review gates, release checklists, incident response — so that standards are followed consistently, not aspirationally. • Drive a measurable reduction in production incidents through structured change management and pre-release quality gates. 

• Identify recurring failure patterns early and drive root-cause resolution rather than firefighting — leveraging available tooling and data to stay ahead of issues before they reach production. 

• Foster new ways of working that combine engineering discipline with modern tooling, so the team continuously improves without adding unnecessary process weight. 

• Build a culture where pressure is absorbed at the coordination layer, not passed down to individual contributors. C1 - Internal use 

3. Stakeholder Communication & Risk Management 

• Serve as the primary delivery point of contact for the Product Owner and business stakeholders. 

• Translate engineering status into business-readable language: timelines, risks, trade-offs, and commitments. 

• Proactively surface delivery risks — scope, capacity, dependencies — before they escalate. 

• Ensure the business always has an accurate, honest picture of where CDS stands — not a filtered one. 4. Team Cohesion & Organizational Scaling 

• Build a culture of accountability and psychological safety across a mixed team of internal hires and vendor staff. 

• Partner with Tech Leads to eliminate knowledge silos, ensure cross-stream alignment, and prevent contributors from being left on their own. 

• Champion a mindset of continuous improvement — encouraging the team to question how work gets done and adopt better approaches, including AI-assisted workflows where they genuinely add value. 

• Support onboarding of new senior hires and ongoing integration of partner teams into delivery workflows. 

• Work closely with the IT Manager to anticipate capacity needs and flag organizational risks before they impact delivery.

What are we looking for?

Technical Requirements 

• Programing Language: Java is preferred, with Python experience for data 

• AI Tooling: Expert proficiency at Github Copliot or Claude Code or equivalent tools for accelerating the delivery work not limited to development, testing etc. 

• Engineering Depth: Solid software engineering background — sufficient to earn Tech Lead trust, read technical risks, and hold credible conversations on API, data, and integration topics. 

• Cloud & Platform Familiarity: Working knowledge of cloud environments (GCP or Azure) and modern integration and data platform patterns. 

• Delivery Tooling: Experience with ITSM and incident management (ServiceNow or equivalent) and delivery tracking platforms (Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar). 

• Modern Tooling Fluency: Comfortable adopting and evaluating emerging tools — including AI assistants — and capable of guiding the team on when and how to use them effectively. 

• QA & Release Management: Understanding QA lifecycle management and what good test coverage and release confidence look like. 

• Domain: Exposure to CRM or MarTech platforms is a strong plus. Soft Skills & Qualifications C1 - Internal use • Experience: 15+ years in software engineering, with 5+ years leading delivery across multiple technical streams or teams. 

• Leadership under pressure: Demonstrated ability to stabilize a stressed team, absorb organizational noise, and restore clarity of purpose. 

• Intellectual curiosity: Genuinely interested in how work evolves — proactively exploring smarter ways of delivering, including through AI, automation, and process innovation. 

• Communication: Equally fluent in engineering and business language — able to translate between the two without losing fidelity in either direction. 

• Structure: A natural inclination toward process, follow-through, and documentation — without creating bureaucracy for its own sake. 

• Vendor management: Comfortable holding external partners to delivery standards while maintaining a productive relationship. 

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
