Why choose this role over another?
This company is the trusted global tech partner for some of the world’s leading energy suppliers. They’re helping drive a major shift away from outdated legacy systems and into the future of energy tech.
They’ve been recognised as one of the Top 50 UK Tech Companies to Work For, ranking 45th. With backing from a major energy supplier and rapid expansion underway, they’re expecting 15% growth this year alone.
They offer private health insurance, including Vitality wellness rewards, and give you your birthday off as well as volunteer days. Their flexible approach to home working makes it easy to balance life and work.
The benefits also include a 5% pension match, comprehensive wellbeing support, and a social culture that brings people together through virtual meetups, after-work gatherings, a “pub club,” and even group runs like half-marathons. They also have dedicated Culture Champions, mental health support, and regular events to keep everyone connected.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll lead and inspire a large engineering team, combining Agile delivery with strong mentorship. You’ll shape the long-term technical roadmap, make key engineering decisions, and drive best practices across the team.
You’ll work closely with Product Owners and PMs to deliver high-quality software every two weeks. While you’re happy to get hands-on when needed, your real strength lies in empowering others and leading with impact rather than doing it all yourself.
What you bring
You have solid experience with C#, SQL, JavaScript, and cloud-based distributed systems, along with a strong background in building and executing roadmaps. You think in Agile terms and are confident in breaking complex problems into clear, deliverable steps.
You’re organised, able to juggle competing priorities, and bring a steady hand to fast-paced environments. Most importantly, you’re a strong coach and mentor with a proven ability to manage and grow small teams effectively.
If you’re a technical leader who loves building teams, guiding engineers, and helping shape the future of a values-led, fast-growing company, this is a chance to make a real impact.
