Hybrid — Central London, 3 days on-site
£110,000–£125,000 ·
Must be eligible for future UK SC clearance
We're partnering with a PE-backed, high-growth technology scale-up delivering secure, mission-critical SaaS into UK Defence. It's early enough that you'll help shape how the team and the platform grow, on work that carries real national significance.
This is a hands-on Technical Lead role centred on two things: leading software delivery and owning live service operations. You'll lead delivery across an established offshore partner with a view to building up an in house team of Software Engineers in the near future.
You will take full ownership of software development and cloud production environment - deployments, patching, automation and the day-to-day operability of the platform. As the product expands into new use cases and markets, you'll support fast, business-driven prototyping to help win and grow work. You'll report into senior leadership, with clear room to grow into an Engineering Director / CTO remit as the company scales.
What we're looking for
- Leading both offshore and in-house engineering teams to deliver enterprise-grade products
- Hands-on with service operations and DevOps / automation in live service delivery (ownership of a live production environment ideal)
- Comfortable in security-conscious / regulated environments (Defence or other regulated sectors)
- Supporting innovation through rapid prototyping in a growing, evolving market to help win and grow business
- Eligible for UK Security Clearance to at least SC level
- Building and scaling cloud-based SaaS products — experience of a modern .NET and cloud (AWS) stack is preferred, but not essential for candidates with sound technical judgement and flexibility
Nice to have:
- Experience with government or MoD cloud hosting environments
- Familiarity with cyber requirement sets such as Secure by Design and DEFSTAN 05-138
To apply to this Technical Lead role please submit a copy of your CV ASAP.
