Co-Founder at Tilo Consulting Sustainable Recruitment

This is a rare opportunity to join at the start of something big.

The excitement of a startup with the security of a big, established company.

We are helping a large UK-owned software group to build and scale a world-class, AI-first engineering organisation in Manchester. They have very ambitious plans and the budget to make it happen.

We are looking for a Lead Software Engineer to guide a cross-functional squad to deliver secure, reliable, and high-quality software.

You’ll combine hands-on coding with technical leadership, mentoring engineers, and driving best practices in cloud-native development, CI/CD, and Agile delivery. Collaboration is key-you’ll work closely with Product, Architecture, and SRE teams to ensure alignment and technical excellence.

What we’re looking for:

  • Proven experience as a Senior Engineer with leadership responsibilities
  • Strong technical skills in modern frameworks (e.g., Node.js, React.js) and cloud platforms (AWS/Azure)
  • Experience with Agile delivery, DevOps principles, and secure software development
  • Ability to mentor, guide, and inspire engineers
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Benefits include an industry-leading benefits package, with hybrid working in their central Manchester office.

Apply now to avoid disappointment.

Please note: Visa sponsorship is not available. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK indefinitely.

Tilo Consulting values diversity and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.
