Are you ready to lead a 50+ person engineering team through real, strategic change?
We're hiring a Head of Software Engineering to shape the future of a high-performing tech function. You’ll report to the CTO and work alongside other “Head Of” peers to transform how software is built, tested, and released.
About you:
* You bring clarity to complexity, can paint a compelling vision, and unite managers around a common purpose.
* You’ve got experience working with B2B software products, high-availability systems, and transactional platforms.
* You understand software observability, performance monitoring, and the importance of resilience and self-healing capabilities.
* You’ve recruited and nurtured diverse, high-performing teams, from grads to senior leaders, and you champion continuous development.
What you’ll do:
* Lead and develop Engineering, QA, and Scrum teams
* Drive Agile, product-led software delivery across the SDLC
* Uplift DevOps, CI/CD, and deployment pipelines
* Raise standards in secure coding, automation, and observability
* Shape and deliver a continuous improvement roadmap
You won’t write code, but you’ll bring deep software knowledge and lead by influence. You’ll know when to drop down into the delivery detail and when to focus on driving strategy.
The team has strong foundations. You’ll be the person to take them to the next level.
