Job description

Overview

This startup is building the operating system for modern hospitality teams - streamlining inventory, production, and daily workflows with real-time data and AI-native tools.

They’re profitable, growing fast, and already powering some of the sector’s most recognisable brands. The founder has previously built and scaled multiple hospitality businesses across the UK and internationally, achieving successful exits, and is now applying that same operator-first playbook to SaaS.

Now they’re hiring their first Software Engineering Manager - someone technical enough to stay hands-on today, but ambitious enough to grow into Head of Engineering as the team scales.

Compensation: £100K + Meaningful Equity | London (Holborn)

What you’ll do

• Lead and mentor a team of 4 engineers, with headcount set to double this year.
• Stay hands-on across React, TypeScript, Nestjs, Postgres, and AWS.
• Champion AI-native workflows (Copilot, Cursor, LLM integrations) to accelerate delivery.
• Shape engineering culture, delivery practices, and architecture from the ground up.
• Grow into a senior leadership role as the platform expands globally.

What they’re looking for

• 1–3 years’ experience leading engineers (Tech Lead or EM level).
• Strong product mindset and technical depth.
• Track record in fast-moving, early-stage environments.
• A desire to take ownership and grow with the company.
• Comfortable working onsite in Holborn with a focused, founder-led team.

The offer

• Meaningful equity in a business with proven traction and a founder with a track record of exits.
• Clear progression to Head of Engineering as the team scales.
