If you're a technically strong engineering leader who built your career on solid engineering foundations (whether in C# / .NET or modern JavaScript frameworks) and still care deeply about code quality, Dev Ops maturity, and scalable systems, this is a genuinely exciting opportunity.

We're partnered with a high-growth UK SaaS technology company building data-driven digital products that help commercial teams better understand and engage their customers. As they scale their customer-facing platforms, they're looking for an experienced Software Development Manager to shape engineering standards and lead the next phase of platform evolution.

The company s stack has evolved. Originally built on a Microsoft / C# / .NET foundation, the platform has transitioned to a more modern stack including:
NestJS / NodeJS, Vue, Redis, SQL Server, Snowflake.

They are open to candidates from a strong .NET background who have since gained experience in modern JavaScript/Type Script ecosystems. Or who can demonstrate the adaptability and technical depth to operate in this environment.

What matters most is engineering quality, architectural thinking, and leadership credibility, not a rigid checklist of frameworks.

You ll balance people leadership, technical direction, and delivery performance, ensuring teams build maintainable, secure, and high-performing systems.

• Significant experience in a SaaS or product-led environment
• Strong previous experience as a hands-on software engineer (C#/.NET or modern JS/TS stacks)
• Proven leadership of engineering teams
• Experience building and operating systems at scale
• A solid understanding of automated testing and QA practices
• Familiarity with modern Dev Ops approaches
• Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills
• The ability to quickly pick up new tools and solve complex problems
