Job description

An excellent opportunity awaits an experienced developer with strong Python and AWS skills to join a leading energy solutions firm in a role offering ownership, clear progression path and ability to shape the growth of the business.

This company is a leading PaaS solutions developer for the energy sector on a brilliant growth trajectory and led by a leadership team with extensive experience in the UK Energy and Tech sectors.

Technical Lead (Python & AWS)

In this role you will take ownership of the engineering function across a team of thirteen. You will cover technical direction and architecture, standards, tooling, development process, coaching, and overall output quality. The teams are small, currently self-managing, and the work leans towards the back end. This role offers a clear structured progression into a ‘Head of’ role, playing a key role not in the technical development, but hiring and shaping the team to scale. This role is based in 2-3 days per week in the Oxford office, with flexibility around working hours.

The Role:

  • Lead the engineering function of a small to medium sized software team
  • Own technical direction, standards, tooling and delivery quality
  • Coach and develop junior and mid-level engineers
  • Oversee back-end-led work within an agile sprint cycle
  • Support future hiring as the role progresses into Head of Software/Development
  • Based in Oxford office, 2-3 days per week.

The Person:

  • Confident with multi-tiered architecture via APIs and serverless AWS (Lambda, S3, SQS, API Gateway)
  • Solid technical leadership or line management background
  • Able to guide standards, process and engineering best practice
  • Based within commutable distance to Oxford office

Reference Number: BBBH 266073
