Lead Software Engineer

Engineering Lead – AI driven B2B SaaS platform

Remote -- home based - UK only, access to London

Permanent Role - £80,000 - £90,000 + benefits

Looking for a role where you can shape product, own delivery, and work with cutting-edge tech — without drowning in bureaucracy?

This is a chance to lead engineering at a fast-moving SaaS business that’s solving real problems with smart, scalable solutions.

You’ll be joining a small, high-performing team with serious ambitions. The platform’s already winning awards and landing big-name clients. Now they’re scaling — and they need someone who can drive technical excellence while keeping things lean, pragmatic, and user-focused.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading development across a modern, serverless-first stack (Vercel, Neon, AWS Lambda)
• Building and maintaining robust APIs and services used by enterprise clients
• Owning delivery end-to-end — from discovery through to deployment and performance
• Shaping engineering culture, tooling, and processes as the team grows

What You’ll Need to Bring

• 8+ years’ full-stack experience, with strong TypeScript across backend (Express/Next.js) and frontend (React/Vue/Angular)
• Solid cloud-native DevOps skills (AWS or GCP) — no server hugging here
• A sharp eye for quality, with strong testing and CI/CD practices
• Curiosity and ideas around how to harness generative AI in real-world products

Who They Are

This is a well-backed UK start-up with a clear mission: to help businesses hire better through the power of referrals and employee advocacy. Their platform is already integrated with major ATS providers and used by global brands. They move fast, value autonomy, and are building something that genuinely works — no gimmicks, no fluff.
