This is the most important hire we are making this year. You will build, lead, and grow a squad of engineers delivering mission‑critical software that processes over £200M in annual transactions. This is a hands‑on role — you will write code, review architecture, and pair with engineers, while also owning the people, process, and delivery cadence for your team. If you want a role where you stop coding, this is not it. • Manage a squad of 4–10 engineers: 1:1s, career development, performance reviews, and hiring, • Own sprint execution and delivery cadence, ensuring the team ships reliably, • Contribute technically: code reviews, architectural decisions, and hands‑on implementation (~40–60%), • Introduce and champion modern engineering practices (CI/CD, automated testing, trunk‑based development), • Remove blockers and protect the team’s focus, • Partner with the Technology Director on roadmap priorities and technical strategy, • Drive adoption of AI‑assisted development tools across the team, • Build psychological safety and a culture of continuous improvement, • 6+ years of engineering management experience in a hands‑on environment, • Strong .NET/C# background with the ability to contribute meaningfully to code, • Experience building and scaling engineering teams (hiring, onboarding, developing), • Track record of implementing CI/CD pipelines and modern development practices, • Excellent communication skills with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, • Experience running agile/scrum processes pragmatically (not dogmatically), • Familiarity with AI‑assisted development tools and their impact on team productivity, • Experience in payments, EPoS, or hospitality technology, • Experience coaching a CTO or Technical Director through organisational growth, • Experience with .NET modernisation or migration projects #J-18808-Ljbffr
