Software Engineering Team Leader

1) Build adoption accelerators (Golden Path delivery) Implement and maintain Golden Path templates, reusable patterns, and reference implementations aligned to app.hsbc ways of working. Produce worked examples from real HSBC projects (not toy apps), designed to double as reusable accelerators and adoption “media”. Contribute code, pipelines, and automation that reduce friction in onboarding and repeatable delivery. Improve self-service onboarding journeys so teams can progress without 1:1 handholding (the org is too large; self-serve must work “from day 1”). Ensure new/updated assets ship with documentation as part of “Definition of Done” and release readiness expectations. Support internal communications and technical engagement: short talks, show-and-tells, workshops, mob programming sessions. Contribute to comms that make developers confident about what exists, what's coming, and how to get value quickly. Participate in feedback channels (office hours, champions networks, Teams/email/in‑app ratings where available). Triage issues and pain points into: Proficiency in Java, Kotlin or Node JS Proficient communicator to all levels of seniority Solid understanding of production readiness fundamentals (security, resilience, observability, supportability) sufficient to build credible examples and guidance. Strong hands-on engineering experience delivering production-grade systems. If experience delivering app platforms that would be a plus but not necessary Practical experience improving developer experience via standardisation, automation, and “make the easy thing the right thing”. Comfortable working across teams (product, engineering, architecture, risk/control) to make guidance accurate and usable.
