  • Providing hands-on technical leadership through design, reviews, mentoring, and problem-solving
What we’re looking for:
  • Proven experience leading engineering teams within a B2B SaaS, cloud, or product-focused environment
  • Strong technical leadership skills with excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities
  • Extensive experience with modern .NET (latest versions)
  • Strong understanding of microservices architecture and REST APIs
  • Experience building and supporting Azure-based solutions, including:
    • Azure Functions
    • Azure Service Bus
    • Azure Key Vault
    • Azure Cosmos DB
    • Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience with additional Azure technologies such as API Management (APIM), Azure Container Apps (ACA), or Azure B2C would be advantageous
  • Azure certifications would be highly desirable
Technology environment includes:
.NET | C# | Microservices | REST APIs | Azure Functions | Service Bus | Key Vault | Cosmos DB | Azure DevOps | React | JavaScript

Why join?
  • Take ownership of the technical direction of a growing SaaS platform
  • Lead and develop an ambitious engineering team
  • Influence architecture, engineering standards, and product evolution
  • Work within a collaborative, high-performance culture with genuine autonomy
  • Hybrid working model with a London office base
  • 29 days annual leave plus bank holidays, including your birthday off
  • Private medical care and enhanced family-friendly benefits
