Descrizione del lavoro

Lead Software Engineer | Build products from the ground up in a scaling SaaS business

Remote with monthly or quarterly visits to their office in Manchester

Want to stay hands-on whilst shaping the technical direction of a growing product?

I'm working with one of the UK's most exciting SaaS scale-ups, who are transforming the B2B marketing space through technology. Following continued growth, they're looking for a Lead Software Engineer to play a key role in building the next generation of customer-facing products.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your time in meetings or people management.

Instead, you'll remain deeply technical, owning solutions from initial concept through to production, influencing architectural decisions and helping shape engineering best practice alongside an experienced, collaborative team.

Why this opportunity?

Build brand-new products rather than maintaining legacy systems

Influence architecture, technical direction and engineering standards

Deploy to production daily in a modern DevSecOps environment

Work in a product-led business where engineering has a genuine voice

Join at an exciting stage of growth where your impact will be visible

What you'll be doing

• Designing scalable solutions alongside Product and Engineering teams
• Building high-quality customer-facing applications using TypeScript and Node.js
• Remaining a hands-on technical leader, setting the standard through code
• Driving architectural decisions and influencing the future of the platform
• Supporting and mentoring engineers through technical leadership and collaboration
• Championing quality, observability, security and continuous improvement
• Solving complex engineering challenges at scale

You'll likely be a Senior, Principal or Lead Software Engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems and wants to combine hands-on development with technical leadership.

Experience with TypeScript and Node.js is key, alongside either Vue.js or React (they're happy for React engineers to learn Vue).

Most importantly, they're looking for someone who enjoys building products, influencing technical direction and delivering software that makes a real impact.
