A new Tech Lead I needed to help keep up with growing customer demand for their platform. This is an opportunity to take ownership of delivery, technical direction, and engineering operations within a small, high-agency team where your decisions will directly influence product scale, customer outcomes, and future hiring.
The Technical Lead will combine hands-on engineering leadership, architecture, delivery management, and technical operations. You will partner closely with the Head of Product to turn roadmap priorities into reliable releases, improve development velocity, and evolve the delivery model as the platform and team grow.
Role Highlights
The Technical Lead will:
• Own technical delivery across an offshore engineering team, improving code quality, velocity, and performance
• Shape the future delivery model, including the potential to build an in-house engineering capability
• Lead architecture and technical design as the platform expands into new products and markets
• Own cloud production operations, including deployments, patching, incident resolution, and reporting
• Partner with product leadership to prioritise, plan, and deliver the product roadmap
You Will Need
The role requires:
• Hands-on experience leading cloud-based SaaS products in regulated or security-conscious settings
Hands-on experience of a broad technology stack including PostgreSQL, C#.Net, React Native, and AWS
• Proven experience managing both outsourced and in-house engineering team
• Strong technical knowledge of cloud platforms, production operations, and secure software deliver
• Experience using generative AI tools in software development, with sound judgement around quality and governance
• Eligibility for UK Security Check clearance

Why You’ll Love It
Our client offers:
• Significant influence over architecture, delivery standards, and the future engineering team structure
• A chance to improve how AI tools are used across planning, coding, testing, review, and operational workflows
• A platform already live in a high-impact, regulated environment, with substantial room to scale
• The autonomy to move quickly, solve meaningful technical problems, and build capability as the business grows
This Technical Lead role will suit someone who can bring structure without unnecessary process. You will work with an offshore delivery team to establish clear expectations around code review, testing, documentation, release quality, delivery throughput, and operational performance. You will also have the opportunity to assess where AI-assisted development can create measurable gains, from faster prototyping and automated testing through to stronger documentation and more effective engineering workflows.
As the platform grows, you will help determine the right balance between outsourced expertise and in-house hiring. This includes identifying the engineering capabilities needed for the next phase, supporting recruitment where appropriate, and creating a delivery model that protects quality while increasing pace.
