  • Previous technical leadership experience within an engineering team
  • Strong backend development skills in C#/.NET (or Java, Kotlin, Go)
  • Experience with React, Vue.js, or similar front-end frameworks
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems and microservices architecture
  • Cloud experience (AWS preferred)
  • CI/CD and modern software delivery experience
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Passion for mentoring and developing engineers

Nice to have

  • Enterprise systems or integration experience
  • Previous people management responsibilities
  • Experience with platform modernisation or transformation programmes
  • Exposure to ERP, CRM, or other business-critical platforms

Why join?

?? Major platform transformation programme

?? Opportunity to influence architecture and engineering standards

?? Blend of technical leadership and people management

?? Strong investment in modern tooling and engineering practices

?? Genuine opportunity to make an impact within a growing technology team
