Staff Software Engineer | Technical Lead for a New Product Pod
Up to £75,000 + Bonus + Remote-First (Manchester HQ)

We’re helping a fast-scaling, product-led scaleup find their next Staff Software Engineer, someone who can blend strong technical depth with natural leadership.

You’ll lead a newly formed pod of two developers, guiding architecture, delivery, and best practice as the business enters its next growth phase. This is a chance to shape a product from concept to scale in a team that values autonomy, trust, and technical craft.

Why it’s worth your time:

• Competitive salary up to £75,000 + bonus

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off

• £400 annual learning and wellness budget

• Employee share options giving genuine ownership in the company’s growth

The stack:
C#, .NET / .NET Core, Angular (open to other front-end frameworks), Azure, CI/CD pipelines, and modern cloud-first practices.

Your impact:

• Lead and mentor two developers within a new product pod

• Set technical direction and ensure code quality and scalability

• Collaborate with the founding team to align tech with business strategy

• Stay hands-on while influencing across the wider engineering organisation

If you’re a senior developer ready to step into broader leadership or a tech lead looking for a scale up that gives you real ownership, this could be the move for you.
