I'm hiring an Engineering Team Lead for an established, global SaaS business. This is a genuine player-coach role. You'll lead a team of 4-8 engineers while spending 40-60% of your time still building the product yourself.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Leading and managing a team of 4-8 engineers, owning their growth, performance and delivery
- Staying hands-on as a senior engineer, designing, building and enhancing the product
- Setting the technical bar for your team and growing the engineers around you
- Leading and expanding the use of AI within an AI-driven SDLC, raising the bar for how the team builds software with agentic tools
- Partnering closely with product managers on the how, the why and the when of what gets built
- Building accurate delivery estimates and making sure the team consistently meets its commitments
- Monitoring issues and risks, proactively seeking solutions, and being part of the solution
What we’re looking for:
- Prior experience leading engineers with direct reports, or significant and demonstrable evidence of up‑levelling teams and peer engineers
- Extremely clear communication, with a strong ability to influence and persuade decisions even when you’re not directly in charge
- A track record of taking on hard, risky work that has sometimes failed, and of owning the result and building towards success
- Full‑stack capability, comfortable across backend technologies as well as the front end
- Strong, demonstrable use of agentic engineering tools and techniques such as Claude Code, Codex or similar
Tech environment: C# / .NET, React, Angular across the legacy frontend, AI‑assisted engineering with tools such as Claude Code. Established SaaS product with significant new feature development.
This role will suit someone who enjoys ownership, ambiguity and solving difficult problems, rather than waiting for someone else to define every step.
