Design Engineer

We re working with a well-established, Suffolk-based organisation operating in a regulated environment. They re looking to appoint a Team Lead to take ownership of a small, close-knit internal development team and bring structure, consistency and clarity to how work is delivered.

Hybrid working 2 3 days per week onsite

This is a people and delivery leadership role, not a hands-on development position. The focus is on managing developers, improving ways of working, and acting as the bridge between the business and the development team.

What the role looks like day to day:

• Leading and supporting the team of software developers, including senior and full-stack engineers
• Owning delivery workflow, planning and team processes: planning, prioritisation, delivery flow, and continuous improvement
• Implementing and embedding structured delivery processes and development lifecycle practices
• Introducing and improving DevOps ways of working and documentation
• Acting as the main point of contact between the business and the development team
• Managing inbound work, tickets and releases to keep delivery predictable and controlled
• Keeping standards high through sensible oversight of quality, reviews, and ways of working
• Creating clarity where processes and documentation are currently limited

• Proven experience leading a software development team
• Strong background in delivery, process and workload management within a development team
• Comfortable working in a non-coding leadership role
• Confident stakeholder communicator, able to manage expectations and priorities
• Experience working with delivery tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps
