Your new company This rapidly growing SaaS technology business has established itself as one of the UK's leading B2B software success stories. Combining the agility of a scale-up with the stability of a profitable, privately owned organisation, the company has built an engineering-first culture where technology investment remains a core strategic priority. Unlike many software businesses, the engineering teams are not constrained by significant legacy technology. Instead, developers work within a modern cloud-native environment, leveraging best-in-class engineering practices and a genuine DevOps culture where software is deployed multiple times per day. This role can be offered hybrid in one of their UK hubs or can be worked UK remote (minimum once per quarter office visit). It's about finding the right people and enabling them to thrive rather than dictating working patterns.

They are also investing heavily in next-generation product capabilities making this an excellent opportunity for somebody who has already applied AI-driven technologies within commercial within software products. What you'll need to succeed We're looking for proven software engineering leaders who have progressed from modern product engineering environments into people leadership roles (minimum 2 years leading other Developers). A strong Full Stack TypeScript background is essential, with exposure to their wider stack including Node.js, NestJS, Vue, Redis, SQL Server and Singlestore.
