What we’re looking for:
• Strong commercial experience within a SaaS environment
• A senior engineering background with experience across varied technical challenges

• Hands-on Azure experience (Functions, Service Bus, Key Vault, Cosmos DB)
• Experience with Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines
• Previous experience mentoring or managing a small engineering team while remaining hands-on
• A passion for building great software and helping teams succeed
Nice to have:
• Azure API Management (APIM)
• Azure Container Apps (ACA)
• Azure AD B2C / identity experience
• Azure certifications
Why join?
• Salary of £85,000+
• Join a rapidly growing startup with strong financial backing
• Opportunity to shape technology, engineering culture and team growth
• Hands-on leadership role with a clear path into engineering management
• Hybrid working model with a London base and flexibility
• Excellent benefits package including private medical cover and enhanced family-friendly benefits
If you’re a senior SaaS engineer who enjoys coding, leading technically and wants the opportunity to grow into management, this could be a great next move.
