Job Specifications

Head of Engineering | Equity | Hybrid UK

I’m working with an early-stage tech business building a scalable data platform and they’re looking for a senior engineering leader to help take it to the next level.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll lead a small team while owning core platform architecture and continuing to build.

You’ll be shaping and scaling a backend platform handling large volumes of data across multiple users, with genuine ownership across both technical direction and team growth.

Experience we’re looking for

• Strong backend architecture and system design experience

• Experience building or scaling SaaS or data-heavy platforms

• Comfort working in startup or scale-up environments

• Experience leading or mentoring engineers

• Cloud-native development across AWS, GCP or Azure

• Ability to balance hands-on delivery with strategic thinking

Background could be asset tracking, IoT, data platforms, geospatial, fintech, marketplaces or other high-throughput systems. We’re open minded.

Equity included

Hybrid UK

If you’ve built and scaled platforms before and want real ownership, message me for a confidential conversation.
