You'll likely be: A highly respected senior engineer or technical leader Someone who leads through technical credibility Passionate about mentoring and developing others Comfortable making architectural decisions Excited by scale, complexity, and modern engineering practices Naturally curious and constantly learning Someone who enjoys building both great software and great teams, You are an experienced Go engineer with a strong PHP background, have successfully led engineering teams, enjoy mentoring others, and want to play a significant role in the growth of one of the UK's most exciting technology scale-ups. ## Description We're partnering with one of the UK's most exciting and fastest-growing technology businesses as they continue a period of exceptional growth and investment. Their SaaS platform powers mission-critical decision-making for global organisations, processing vast amounts of data and delivering real business impact at scale. Following significant growth, they're investing heavily in engineering leadership and are seeking experienced Technical Leads and Lead Engineers to help shape the next generation of their platform. This is a role for someone who loves technology, enjoys leading engineers, and wants genuine influence over architecture, engineering standards, and technical direction. You'll join a business where engineering is at the heart of every strategic decision and where Technical Leads are trusted to make a real impact. Why This Opportunity Stands Out You'll play a key role in a major platform evolution programme as the business continues its journey from a mature PHP ecosystem towards a modern cloud-native architecture built around Go, APIs, distributed services, and AWS.

It's the sweet spot: a successful, profitable, high-growth technology business with real scale, real customers, and exciting technical challenges. The Role This is a 70% hands-on engineering and 30% leadership position. We're specifically looking for leaders who still love writing code, solving complex technical problems, and contributing to architecture. You will: Lead a team of talented software engineers Remain actively involved in software development Shape technical strategy and architecture Mentor and develop engineers Drive engineering excellence across your team Partner with Product and Engineering Leadership Influence the future direction of a rapidly scaling platform What You'll Be Doing Technical Leadership Designing and building scalable services using Go Modernising and evolving a large-scale PHP platform Building high-performance APIs and backend services Driving architectural decisions across multiple product areas Leading code reviews and engineering best practices Solving complex scalability, reliability, and performance challenges Contributing across backend and frontend technologies Championing clean code, testing, and maintainability People Leadership Leading, mentoring, and coaching software engineers Conducting regular 1-to-1s Supporting career development and growth Building high-performing engineering teams Creating a collaborative and inclusive engineering culture Supporting hiring and team expansion ## Related Videos - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Lessons learned from building a thriving Vue.js SaaS application](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1666-lessons-learned-from-building-a-thriving-vue-js-saas-application) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Your next 10x engineer isn't in your city.
