Software Systems Oversight

Oversee the design, development, and evaluation of software systems used across Liquid's core payment and AI-first platforms.
Guide the selection or adoption of new software solutions, ensuring they meet organisational requirements in performance, security, compliance, and scalability.

Quality, Performance & Delivery Governance

Monitor the results and quality of software solutions generated both manually and through AI-assisted development tools.
Establish quality gates across the SDLC to ensure all software projects and system enhancements meet architectural, security, and regulatory standards.
Review completed features and system updates to verify functional accuracy, performance benchmarks, and alignment with product objectives.

Technical Leadership & Proof-of-Concept Development

Oversee the development of Proof-of-Concepts (POCs) for new features, architectures, and platform capabilities.
Provide technical expertise and advice to the Product Owner and engineering teams on feasibility, risks, solution options, and architectural trade-offs.
Validate that all POCs and proposed solutions appropriately address security, resilience, and risk considerations.

AI-First Development Enablement
