We're always keen to welcome talented individuals to join our expanding team. So if you're driven, with a passion for developing simple software solutions, creating great user experiences, designing scalable solutions for real business challenges and ensuring customer happiness then we're looking for you! IS THIS SOMETHING THAT INTERESTS YOU? Foods Connected has built a mature, functionality-rich platform over the last 10 years, used by some of the largest food retail and food manufacturing companies in the world. We are a PE-backed company operating across the UK, Australia, and North America, and engineering sits at the centre of our growth strategy. Our engineering organisation is evolving. We are moving toward smaller, more autonomous engineering teams with greater ownership of outcomes, supported by AI-augmented development practices and modern tooling. This transition is underway but not complete, and the Director of Engineering will play a central role in making it real. The Director of Engineering is a senior leadership role that sits between the CTO and the engineering teams. The CTO remains accountable for overall technology vision and alignment with product and commercial strategy. The Director of Engineering is accountable for translating that vision into consistent execution, scalable systems, and high-performing teams. You will partner closely with the CTO on technical strategy and organisational direction, and work downward through senior Technical Leads and the Engineering Manager to ensure teams are delivering with quality, pace, and genuine ownership. You will have organisational oversight of an engineering department of 50+ people spanning Graduate to Principal level. This role owns the operational rhythm of engineering, technical standards and consistency, and the day-to-day engineering leadership that enables the CTO to focus on innovation, product direction, and commercial strategy. You will have decision-making authority over engineering practices, team structure, and technical standards, and will be expected to make calls and own the outcomes.

We're always keen to welcome talented individuals to join our expanding team. So if you're driven, with a passion for developing simple software solutions, creating great user experiences, designing scalable solutions for real business challenges and ensuring customer happiness then we're looking for you! IS THIS SOMETHING THAT INTERESTS YOU? Foods Connected has built a mature, functionality-rich platform over the last 10 years, used by some of the largest food retail and food manufacturing companies in the world. We are a PE-backed company operating across the UK, Australia, and North America, and engineering sits at the centre of our growth strategy. Our engineering organisation is evolving. We are moving toward smaller, more autonomous engineering teams with greater ownership of outcomes, supported by AI-augmented development practices and modern tooling.

The Director of Engineering is a senior leadership role that sits between the CTO and the engineering teams. The CTO remains accountable for overall technology vision and alignment with product and commercial strategy. The Director of Engineering is accountable for translating that vision into consistent execution, scalable systems, and high-performing teams. You will partner closely with the CTO on technical strategy and organisational direction, and work downward through senior Technical Leads and the Engineering Manager to ensure teams are delivering with quality, pace, and genuine ownership. You will have organisational oversight of an engineering department of 50+ people spanning Graduate to Principal level. This role owns the operational rhythm of engineering, technical standards and consistency, and the day-to-day engineering leadership that enables the CTO to focus on innovation, product direction, and commercial strategy. You will have decision-making authority over engineering practices, team structure, and technical standards, and will be expected to make calls and own the outcomes.
