Job Description
Lead Software Engineer
Newcastle upon Tyne (Hybrid)
Up to £140,000 + Large Package
We’re building something rare in the North East — a high-calibre engineering environment where only the very best make the cut. This is not a “tick-the-box” leadership role. We want a hands-on engineering leader who can set technical direction, grow capability, and still stay close enough to the code to earn credibility with the team.
If you come from consulting, hedge funds, investment banking or top-tier tech, you’ll recognise the pace, rigour, and standards we hold ourselves to. This is a chance to take that pedigree and shape the future of a growing engineering practice here in Newcastle.
What you’ll do
* Lead the design and delivery of high-performance, cloud-first software solutions
* Set technical direction and best practice across engineering teams
* Mentor, coach and grow exceptional talent while keeping your own hands on the code
* Shape and develop the engineering practice — standards, culture, capability
* Drive innovation: challenge assumptions, spot opportunities, and push boundaries
* Partner with senior stakeholders on strategy, pre-sales and business growth initiatives
