This Isn't Just Another Coder Role – It's About Developing a Team and a Vision. It's the Chance to Build Software the Right Way. You've led development teams. You've created complex software architecture end-to-end. You've balanced delivery, quality, stakeholders, and people – often while fighting bureaucracy, unrealistic timelines, or decisions made too far from the code. Lately, you may be asking yourself: Is this really how good teams are supposed to work? At OLS Ltd, we're offering something different. We're a family-run business with an international reputation, a stable product roadmap, and a strong inbound project pipeline. No venture-capital chaos. No endless layers of approval. No politics masquerading as process. Just a clear vision, real customers, and the autonomy to build high-quality software that actually makes a difference. Here, your experience matters. Your judgement is trusted. Your ideas don't disappear into a backlog graveyard. We empower leaders rather than manage them. We value calm, accountable decision-making, encourage sensible risk-taking, and operate a genuine no-blame culture focused on learning and improvement. If you're tired of firefighting and want to build something sustainable - this could be the move you didn't realise you were ready for. This is a hands-on leadership role, based full-time in our Doncaster office, for someone who values real collaboration, strong engineering culture, and long-term impact. There is clear progression toward senior roles such as Head of Software for the right person.
