Job Description & How to Apply Below
Are you a technical leader who enjoys building high-performing engineering teams as much as solving technical challenges?
This is an opportunity for someone who combines strong technical credibility with exceptional people leadership. You'll play a key role in developing engineers, improving the way software is delivered, and helping shape the future of our engineering function.
What You'll Be Doing
Recruiting, onboarding, mentoring, and developing software engineers while fostering a collaborative, high-performing team culture
Setting clear performance expectations and delivering structured, data-driven performance reviews alongside line managers
Working closely with Project Management to align team capability and resource planning with current and future project requirements
Providing day-to-day leadership and line management, supporting career development and continuous learning
Driving improvements across engineering processes, tools, and development methodologies to increase efficiency and quality
Keeping up to date with emerging technologies and industry best practice, helping guide technical direction and engineering standards
What We're Looking For
Proven experience leading and developing software engineering teams
Strong people management skills, including recruitment, coaching, mentoring, and performance management
A continuous improvement mindset with experience enhancing engineering processes and delivery
A solid technical background that enables you to support engineers and contribute to technical decision-making
Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, project management, and wider business teams
Why Join ?
You'll have the opportunity to influence both the people and technical direction of a growing engineering team. If you're passionate about developing talent, improving software delivery, and creating an environment where engineers can do their best work, we'd love to hear from you
