What You’ll Do

In this role you will act as the technical lead for a small, focused product team building a next-generation energy modelling platform. You will guide architectural decisions, support engineers day-to-day, and help the team deliver high-quality features at pace.

  • Lead technical direction, making pragmatic architectural decisions that balance rapid progress with long-term maintainability.

Why this role
  • This is a key role within a strategic product team working on a complex, high‑visibility platform. You will have real influence over how the product is built and the engineering standards it is built on.
  • Own the technical approach for a new product as it moves from prototype to full‑scale build.
  • Work in a modern, cross‑functional environment with autonomy and the opportunity to take on technical leadership.
  • Solve interesting challenges that blend UI, business logic, modelling and AI‑driven behaviour.
  • Enjoy the stability of a permanent role while contributing to a long‑term, impactful product initiative.
