Job description

We're partnering with a mission-driven tech company expanding into Central Scotland - and they're looking for a hands-on Software Engineering Manager to help shape the future of their engineering team.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Collaborating with product and leadership to shape the roadmap across AI, DevOps, and infrastructure
  • Leading sprint planning, backlog prioritisation, and delivery with a focus on speed, quality, and sustainability
  • Contributing to architecture decisions, design reviews, and hands-on coding
  • Defining engineering practices, coding standards, and quality benchmarks
  • Translating business needs into scalable technical solutions
  • Championing agile, CI/CD, and automated testing
  • Supporting recruitment and onboarding as the team grows
  • Building a culture of collaboration, accountability, and innovation

Requirements

  • 10+ years in software engineering, including 2+ years in a leadership role
  • Proven success delivering SaaS applications
  • Experience with modern stacks (React, Node.js, Go, Python, PostgreSQL)
  • Strong grasp of APIs (REST, WebSockets, MQTT) and cloud tools (AWS, Docker, Terraform, GitHub, Jenkins)
  • Comfortable balancing hands-on work with team leadership
  • Skilled in agile development, CI/CD, and mentoring

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience scaling teams in high-growth environments
  • Background in mission-critical applications
  • Exposure to video streaming, real-time data, or computer vision
