Head of Development (Ecommerce, PHP Stack)
UK Remote Working
£80000 - £90000 + Equity
Please note my client cannot offer VISA sponsorship for this position.~
Your new company
I am working to recruit a Head of Development for a hyper-growth business in the UK as they look to expand globally. It's a really unique opportunity working for an online, technology first organisation that are looking to challenge the leading names in Ecommerce.
The role is offered fully remote but you must be within the UK and must not require any form of Visa Sponsorship to apply.
Your new role
The Development team has mirrored the general pattern in the company; grow quickly, iterate, have fun, make an impact. As they've scaled over the last year Development squads have been formed so you'll dovetail with another Head of Dev to set the standards and ensure best practice across the Engineering team, providing a progression path for all.
This company operates like a start-up but with a product that's been in Development for 10+ years. You will understand there is some legacy/maintenance to manage whilst guiding the Devs on new feature development and researching the next iteration of the system.
It's a very exciting time to be joining and in this leadership position you'll be pivotal in their efforts to move into new territories globally and to launch a mobile app.
What you'll need to succeed
We're looking for 5+ years in leadership positions overseeing other Devs (as a Head of Dev, Tech Lead or similar) and an expert background in PHP Development (also 5 years+ as a minimum).
If you've managed large scale Ecommerce applications with multiple service calls and databases that would be standout, as would experience working in Agile squads.
We're looking for great people skills, demonstrated ability to lead teams through periods of change and growth, proven experience with agile methodologies and enforcing delivery discipline.
You should have a strong knowledge of modern tech stacks and experience with scalable, high availability systems, including some of the following: RESTful API's, MySQL/NoSQL, GCP, Docker, Terraform, Cloud, RabbitMQ, NoSQL and TDD/Microservices exposure.
What you'll get in return
The company offers good flexibility both in terms of working hours and remote working (within the UK). There's no micromanagement here and joining at this stage in their journey you'll have a chance to share in the profits (Sharesave scheme) plus there's annual pay reviews. You'll get 26 days holiday + bank holidays and funding for technical courses/training. The company have bi-annual socials to meet and celebrate success.
What you need to do now
