You will lead, mentor, and line‑manage both backend (AWS cloud native) team and a small team of mobile developers, while remaining deeply involved in architecture, design decisions, and complex technical problem‑solving. You will act as the technical authority for the backend and AWS platform, providing peer review and architectural guidance.

• Line-manage and mentor, cross‑functional engineering team covering backend and mobile development
• Act as a hands‑on technical leader, contributing directly to backend architecture, system design, and critical implementation work.
• Provide peer review and architectural guidance to the backend and AWS engineering team.
• Own and evolve the backend and cloud architecture, balancing scalability, performance, security, and cost.
• Translate business objectives and product requirements into scalable, secure, and maintainable technical solutions.
• Remove delivery roadblocks and coach engineers on engineering best practices, coding standards, and system design.
• Partner closely with the Mobile Tech Lead (React Native), setting technical direction collaboratively while avoiding duplication of responsibilities.
• Drive and champion the use of AI‑assisted development tools to materially increase development speed, code quality, and team productivity.
• Maintain high standards for automated testing, CI/CD, reliability, and operational excellence across backend and mobile teams.

• Proven experience as a Software Development Manager, Head of Software, or Senior Engineering Manager in a hands‑on role.
• Strong technical background with Type Script, plus at least one additional backend language (e.g. Go, Rust, C#).
• Strong experience designing and building cloud‑native backend systems, including performance and cost trade‑offs.
• Hands‑on AWS experience, ideally using Terraform for infrastructure as code.
• Proven experience line‑managing backend and/or mobile engineers within agile environments.
• Demonstrated ability to translate product and business requirements into robust technical architectures.
• Strong experience with Git‑based workflows and CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Circle
  
  CI).
• Expert‑level experience with automated testing frameworks such as Jest and/or Vitest.
• Strong experience with SQL and No
  
  SQL databases, including Postgres, Dynamo
  
  DB, and Redis.
• Ideally proven experience integrating third‑party APIs in the energy flexibility domain (e.g. demand response and grid services).
• Excellent debugging and problem‑solving skills, including network‑level analysis (e.g. Wireshark).
• Experience with AWS IoT core and MQTT is desirable.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with experience working in distributed, multinational teams.

• Experience in the energy sector, particularly energy flexibility, demand response, or grid‑interfacing systems.
• Familiarity working alongside mobile engineering teams building React Native applications.
• An understanding of electrical engineering. kW, kWh, Amps, Volts, etc.
• Experience with similar smart home devices, vehicle charge points, solar diverters, etc.
