Platforms & Products Engineering

As a Chief Technology Officer, you see your technology assets as a platform to support the company’s future growth, integrate with existing systems, and provide a secure environment for sensitive data. Your aim is a scalable, secure platform that performs well and enhances your reputation. Your vision is a platform that provides clear APIs and documentation, has easy-to-use developer tools and a supportive community of developers. You want the system to retain the ability to change quickly to meet business objectives. You expect high speed and low cost for adding to your development team.
 
As a Head of Product, you want to build and deploy new products quickly and easily, with a focus on user experience and innovation. You expect your technology platform to be customisable and scalable so you can experiment and bring the tested solutions to the market. You want the system to be stable and cost-effective under any load via dynamic scaling.
 
As a Head of Architecture, your goal is to build and arrange platform architecture, performance benchmarks, scalability, security features, and development tools. You want to develop and maintain a platform that can handle high volumes of data and transactions with a robust architecture that can be easily extended and modified.
 
For companies that already think of their product offering as a platform, the vision shifts towards enhancement and evolution. The focus is on upgrading the platform to incorporate the latest technologies, improving scalability, and ensuring higher security standards. Continuous improvement in user experience, integration of advanced analytics, and leveraging AI and machine learning are key for the long-term viability of the platform.
