Role Overview

The Solutions Engineering Manager is accountable for the solution engineering practice: the people, the standards, and the delivery quality of technical solutions built across the enterprise technology platforms. Where platform managers own a specific platform, this role owns the capability that turns business demand into well-designed, well-built solutions on top of those platforms, and helps to influence those platform’s features and roadmaps.

The Technology Solution Engineering Manager runs the practice as an internal product and as a service. That means a clear demand intake process, published solution design standards, a growing library of reusable patterns, measurable delivery quality, and a team whose technical depth and breadth keeps pace with the estate they work across.

The practice spans cloud infrastructure on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services, integration, APIs, automation, containers, and web hosting. This role leads a team of approximately five to ten solution engineers across junior and experienced levels.
