Technical Lead

Brown & Brown Europe is building long-lived, product-led squads with end-to-end ownership of the services they create. You will work in a collaborative engineering environment that values practical delivery, automation, security, quality, learning and continuous improvement.

The day to day:

You will lead technical delivery within a product-led squad, combining hands-on engineering with day-to-day technical leadership. You will partner closely with Product and Delivery, while the Lead Engineer provides broader cross-squad engineering leadership.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead technical design and delivery for the squad while remaining hands-on.

• Turn product priorities into secure, scalable and supportable technical solutions.

• Guide estimation, decomposition, dependencies and pragmatic technical decisions.

• Own technical delivery from discovery through release and live support.

• Set expectations for code quality, automated testing, security, documentation, observability and operational readiness.

• Improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment practices to enable safe, repeatable releases.

• Champion peer review, pairing, test-first thinking, small releases and continuous refactoring.

• Coach engineers through reviews, pairing and knowledge sharing.

• Make technical debt, risks and operational issues visible and lead proportionate action.

• Use DORA, quality and service measures to drive improvement.

• Collaborate with Architecture, Cloud, Security and platform teams within agreed guardrails.

Support incident investigation and turn learning into preventative improvements. *

How we work:

• Work in a long-lived, product-led and stream-aligned squad with clear service ownership.

• Follow a Build and Run model: design, build, test, deploy, monitor, support and improve squad-owned services.

• Use a transparent, prioritised backlog and deliver value incrementally through a regular agile cadence.

• Take part in planning, refinement, daily collaboration, reviews, retrospectives, demos and showcases.

• Use Definition of Ready and Definition of Done, including testing, security, documentation and operational readiness.

• Automate build, test, security assurance, deployment and repeatable environment activity wherever practical.

• Release in small, safe increments and use feedback and delivery data to improve.

• Work within shared architecture, cloud, security and platform guardrails.

Use approved engineering and AI-assisted tools with appropriate security controls and human review. *
