£60,000 – £80,000 + Benefits | Remote-first | Secure Technology Projects

We’re hiring a Technical Team Lead for a cutting-edge company delivering secure, scalable software solutions to some of the UK’s most security-conscious organisations. If you’re a hands-on leader with a background in secure systems or government projects, this is a unique opportunity to shape critical technology in the national interest.

About the Role:

You’ll lead an agile engineering team responsible for building collaboration tools used across government and defence sectors. Working closely with stakeholders, you’ll guide architecture, mentor developers, and ensure successful end-to-end delivery of secure applications.

Why Apply?

• Salary up to £80k + excellent benefits
• Remote-first, with access to hubs in London or Cheltenham
• Mission-led work – develop systems that directly support national security
• Work with Java, Spring Boot, AWS, Kubernetes, React
• Join a collaborative culture that values autonomy, growth, and innovation

What You’ll Bring:

• Experience leading Agile/Scrum software teams
• Strong technical foundation in Java and modern cloud-native infrastructure
• Background in secure systems, ideally within the intelligence, government, or defence sector
• SC or DV clearance (current or lapsed) highly desirable
• Excellent communication and client engagement skills

This role would particularly suit someone who currently holds or has previously held UK security clearance and is familiar with the rigour of working on classified or sensitive systems.

Due to the nature of the projects, we can only consider British Nationals for this role.
