Who are we?
Sanlam Group Technology is responsible for the provision of a digitally enabled technology service as a group COE, drive business and transformation and provide group-wide digital and data architecture. We operate the various technology platforms and shared services, ensure Cyber and Information Security resilience, and act as technology governance and risk orchestrator for technology across Sanlam.
We’re a newly created engineering organization on a mission to empower and accelerate autonomous value creation through insights and ML across the group. Our main users are the data scientists and analysts who sit inside the business units and support them in developing and re-developing their financial and digital products to better meet the needs of our clients and our shareholders. Our other users are the data management and data product teams who produce the data sets analysts and scientists need to launch straight into their work.
The tribe is made up of 3 different engineering squads covering everything from how we ingest and store data, to how we develop and share ML artefacts and insights. We have one for ingestions, one for data storage and processing and one for insights & ML tooling. We have one data engineering talent pipeline for the whole tribe, where placements into specific squads are explored later in the interview process based on squad needs and candidate abilities. Data engineers report to the tech leads of the squad they are embedded into.
Agile Delivery Leads are an essential feature of high performing squads. By creating and continuously evolving the rhythms and rituals of the team, they maximize the time and cognitive load in the team invested towards team objectives and delivery. They work within their squad and across the organization to establish optimize the squads’ meetings, communication channels, ceremonies and even norms for agility and achieving their outcomes. Optimal team behaviors and inner workings are what make agility and high performance possible.
This is a role where mastery in group facilitation, team reflection and a variety of agile approaches comes together to give the squad the best environment possible to support their evolution to high performance. They work to ensure the squad works smarter, not harder, ensuring alignment, flow, and continuous improvement across every sprint and initiative.
