Senior Software Engineering Team Lead (C++)

Remote first - Office in Birmingham

Up to £90,000 + benefits

We're looking for an experienced C++ Software Team Lead to manage a team of six highly skilled senior engineers working on a software development tool used globally.

This is a varied role blending technical leadership with hands-on C++ development. You'll lead the delivery of core platform functionality across Windows, Linux, and AIX systems.

What you’ll be doing

• Lead and mentor a team of six senior C++ developers (line management, project planning, delivery).
• Contribute directly to the design and development of a compiler-like backend tool.
• Collaborate with QA, Support, and other technical leads across the business.
• Navigate project planning, team challenges, and cross-functional coordination.
• Work in a complex, database-centric software environment.

What we're looking for

• Solid experience in C++ (C++17 ideally)
• Strong understanding of databases — SQL Server, Oracle, or Postgres.
• Prior experience leading development teams (6 months+ leadership).

Why this role?

• Be part of a highly experienced team building core platform tech, not just applications.
• Work with autonomy in a remote first role.
• Excellent opportunity to grow into a Development Manager role.
• Competitive salary + strong benefits including pension, private healthcare, and flexible holiday options.
