Looking for a role where you can shape product, own delivery, and work with cutting‑edge tech — without drowning in bureaucracy?

This is a chance to lead engineering at a fast‑moving SaaS business that’s solving real problems with smart, scalable solutions.

You’ll be joining a small yet perfectly formed high‑performing team with serious ambitions. The platform’s already winning awards and landing big‑name clients. Now they’re scaling — and they need someone who can drive technical excellence while keeping things lean, pragmatic, and user‑focused.

• Leading development across a modern, serverless‑first stack (Vercel, Neon, AWS Lambda)
• Building and maintaining robust APIs and services used by enterprise clients
• Owning delivery end‑to‑end — from discovery through to deployment and performance
• Shaping engineering culture, tooling, and processes as the team grows

• 8+ years’ full‑stack experience, with strong Type Script across backend (Express/Next.js) and frontend (React/Vue/Angular)
• Solid cloud‑native Dev Ops skills (AWS or GCP) — no server hugging here
• A sharp eye for quality, with strong testing and CI/CD practices
• Curiosity and ideas around how to harness generative AI in real‑world products

This is a well‑backed UK start‑up with an incredibly unique proposition for HR teams. They move fast, value autonomy, and are building something that genuinely works — no gimmicks, no fluff.
