Job description

Looking for a role where you can shape product, own delivery, and work with cutting-edge tech - without drowning in bureaucracy?

This is a chance to lead engineering at a fast-moving SaaS business that's solving real problems with smart, scalable solutions.

You'll be joining a small yet perfectly formed high-performing team with serious ambitions. The platform's already winning awards and landing big-name clients. Now they're scaling - and they need someone who can drive technical excellence while keeping things lean, pragmatic, and user-focused.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading development across a modern, serverless-first stack (Vercel, Neon, AWS Lambda)
  • Building and maintaining robust APIs and services used by enterprise clients
  • Owning delivery end-to-end - from discovery through to deployment and performance
  • Shaping engineering culture, tooling, and processes as the team grows

Requirements

  • 8+ years' full-stack experience, with strong TypeScript across backend (Express/Next.js) and frontend (React/Vue/Angular)
  • Solid cloud-native DevOps skills (AWS or GCP) - no server hugging here
  • A sharp eye for quality, with strong testing and CI/CD practices
  • Curiosity and ideas around how to harness generative AI in real-world products
