⚡️Role Summary:
You will lead, mentor, and line‑manage both backend (AWS cloud native) team and a small team of mobile developers, while remaining deeply involved in architecture, design decisions, and complex technical problem-solving. You will act as the technical authority for the backend and AWS platform, providing peer review and architectural guidance.
⚡️Key Responsibilities:
* Line‑manage and mentor, cross‑functional engineering team covering backend and mobile development
* Act as a hands‑on technical leader, contributing directly to backend architecture, system design, and critical implementation work.
* Provide peer review and architectural guidance to the backend and AWS engineering team.
* Own and evolve the backend and cloud architecture, balancing scalability, performance, security, and cost.
* Translate business objectives and product requirements into scalable, secure, and maintainable technical solutions.
* Remove delivery roadblocks and coach engineers on engineering best practices, coding standards, and system design.
* Partner closely with the Mobile Tech Lead (React Native), setting technical direction collaboratively while avoiding duplication of responsibilities.
* Drive and champion the use of AI‑assisted development tools to materially increase development speed, code quality, and team productivity.
* Maintain high standards for automated testing, CI/CD, reliability, and operational excellence across backend and mobile teams.
⚡️Required Qualifications and Experience:
* Proven experience as a Software Development Manager, Head of Software, or Senior Engineering Manager in a hands‑on role.
* Strong technical background with TypeScript, plus at least one additional backend language (e.g. Go, Rust, C#).
* Strong experience designing and building cloud‑native backend systems, including performance and cost trade‑offs.
* Hands‑on AWS experience, ideally using Terraform for infrastructure as code.
* Proven experience line‑managing backend and/or mobile engineers within agile environments.
* Demonstrated ability to translate product and business requirements into robust technical architectures.
* Strong experience with Git‑based workflows and CI/CD pipelines (e.g. CircleCI).
* Expert‑level experience with automated testing frameworks such as Jest and/or Vitest.
* Strong experience with SQL and NoSQL databases, including Postgres, DynamoDB, and Redis.
* Ideally proven experience integrating third‑party APIs in the energy flexibility domain (e.g. demand response and grid services).
* Excellent debugging and problem‑solving skills, including network‑level analysis (e.g. Wireshark).
* Experience with AWS IoT core and MQTT is desirable.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with experience working in distributed, multinational teams.
⚡️Desirable:
* Experience in the energy sector, particularly energy flexibility, demand response, or grid‑interfacing systems.
* Familiarity working alongside mobile engineering teams building React Native applications.
* An understanding of electrical engineering. kW, kWh, Amps, Volts, etc.
* Experience with similar smart home devices, vehicle charge points, solar diverters, etc.
