Job Description

Director Of Software Engineering

Peterborough (Hybrid)

Up to £95,000

You would be joining a SaaS company that pride themselves the culture they’ve created. It’s very supportive, collaborative and diverse with a unique family feel that is driven from the top by the CEO - something that usually gets lost in big businesses.

What you'll be doing

Every day will bring fresh challenges as you collaborate with teams across the business to shape what is being built. You'll be driving Security, & Access Management, and system resiliency alongside feature development. You're the kind of developer who gets excited about new tech and actually uses it to build better products.

You'll be leading a high-performing engineering team building scalable enterprise solutions. You'll drive technical strategy, mentor talented developers, and bridge the gap between product vision and delivery. Think sprint planning, architecture decisions, and hands-on problem solving when needed - all while creating the kind of culture where brilliant people thrive.

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years software development experience
• 5+ years leading engineering teams
• Extensive knowledge of .Net up to version 8
• Cloud platforms, microservices, and have a track record of building scalable applications.
• Someone who gets results while developing people, thrives in fast-paced environments, and believes in agile methodologies.

The Perks

• Salary: Up to £95,000
• 10% bonus
• 7% pension
• 25 days holiday + bank hols (plus buy up to 5 more)
• Car allowance
• Private Medical
• Dental Insurance
