Lead Software Engineer

You'll lead a tight, high-calibre team of 5 engineers, shaping both the technical direction and the engineering standards of a platform being actively invested in.

If you enjoy building properly, influencing architecture, and staying hands-on, this is the kind of role where you'll actually get the autonomy to do it.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading a small, high-performing engineering team (5 developers)
• Remaining hands-on (circa 70%) while setting technical direction
• Owning architecture decisions, code quality, and engineering standards
• Working closely with product to shape roadmap and delivery
• Driving modern engineering practices across the platform (CI/CD, testing, scalability)
• Playing a key role in the evolution of a flagship SaaS product at scale

The Tech Environment

You'll be working in a modern, cloud-native environment with a strong focus on scalability and performance:

• .NET / C# (core backend)
• Microservices architecture
• Cloud-first (Azure)
• API-driven, distributed systems
• Modern DevOps and CI/CD practices

• Proven experience as a Senior / Lead Engineer in a SaaS or product-led environment
• Strong .NET / C# background
• Experience working on distributed, scalable systems
• Someone who can lead engineers while still writing quality code
• Comfortable influencing architecture and engineering direction
• A natural communicator who can bridge engineering and product
