Our client, a growing company based in London is seeking an experienced Lead Software Engineer to take ownership of the technology stack and guide the engineering team through this next phase of growth. This is a hands‑on leadership role, combining technical delivery with strategic oversight.

• Own the quality, reliability, and performance of applications in production.
• Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and establishing strong engineering practices.
• Drive AI‑accelerated engineering productivity, leveraging modern tools to ship faster and smarter.
• Be hands‑on: shipping code daily, unblocking the team, and taking responsibility for critical systems.

Requirements

• Strong experience across the stack: TypeScript, React Native, React, Node, Postgres, GCP/Firebase.
• Full‑stack mindset: comfortable working on mobile apps, web apps, backend, and SQL.
• Proven ability to write efficient, production‑ready code that is reliable, observable, and maintainable.
• Comfortable with a fast‑paced release culture (multiple deploys per day).
• Product‑focused, with the ability to empathise with users and steer feature development.
• 5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in a fast‑moving startup or product‑led environment.
• Strong problem‑solving skills, ownership mentality, and ability to work in GMT‑friendly time zones.
• Experience with AI‑powered SWE tools (Cursor, Windsurf, v0, etc.) and enthusiasm for pushing productivity.
• Preferred: ability to work from the London office 3 days per week.

Benefits

• Circa£100k per annum depending on experience & location
• Annual performance bonus of up to 15%
• Fully remote / hybrid working (GMT hours)
