Empowering Robotics, Embedded Systems, and Marine Technology with Innovative Talent Solutions
Are you a hands-on technical leader looking to shape the future of software delivery?
Do you thrive in collaborative squads, enjoy working across a modern backend stack, and want to make an impact using Ruby, PHP and AWS?
Why this role is great
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a fast-scaling tech business that has doubled in size over the past year. You will lead a cross-functional product team, offering both engineering expertise and mentoring to a talented group of developers, QAs and designers.
You will be part of a forward-thinking engineering function where quality, autonomy and clean architecture are valued. The role combines hands-on technical contribution with the opportunity to shape processes and practices.
You will:
* Lead development efforts using Ruby on Rails and PHP (Symfony), with a strong focus on object-oriented programming
* Guide backend infrastructure work using AWS, Terraform and Helm
* Mentor three direct reports and foster technical growth across your team
* Contribute to API development, architectural discussions and containerisation efforts (Kubernetes)
* Collaborate with Product Managers and other Tech Leads to align engineering efforts with business goals
About you
You are likely an experienced backend developer with a history of working across multiple technologies and leading high-performing teams. You will bring:
* Proven experience in object-oriented development, ideally with Ruby or PHP (or other OO languages such as Java or C#)
* A strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, especially within AWS environments
* Familiarity with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform or Helm
* Confidence in mentoring and developing others, with a people-first approach to leadership
* A keen eye for clean code, best practices, and continuous improvement
Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD and containerisation will be beneficial. You do not need experience in every tool or language mentioned. What matters most is your adaptability and your approach to solving problems.
