Hands On Software Engineering Managers/Tech leads – Data & Performance – REMOTE

Hands On Software Engineering Managers/Tech leads – C#/.NET/AZURE – Data & Performance

This is a hands‑on technical leadership role with a strong focus on data architecture, application performance, and platform scalability.

You’ll lead a small senior engineering team, combining technical delivery with people leadership (around 75% technical / 25% line management).

Your focus will be on enabling the platform to scale intelligently — supporting reporting, APIs, AI/LLM usage, and real‑time customer insight.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and support a newly forming team focused on data architecture and application optimisation
• Drive structural change within a large, established codebase to support scale
• Influence architecture, design, and technology decisions across the platform
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering Managers, and SRE leadership
• Translate strategic scaling goals into clear, deliverable roadmap initiatives
• Contribute to engineering-wide OKRs and technical direction
• Champion a culture of learning, collaboration, and thoughtful technical challenge
• Remain technically hands‑on, solving complex backend and data‑driven problems

Strong backend experience is essential.

Core technologies include:

Bonus experience (nice to have):

• MS SQL views and performance optimisation

You don’t need the job title — but you do need the leadership mindset.

You’ll thrive here if you are:

• A strong backend engineer with deep .NET and Azure experience
• Comfortable leading technical change in mature, complex systems
• Skilled at breaking down big, ambiguous problems into clear actions
• Emotionally intelligent and collaborative across teams
• Confident challenging decisions — kindly and constructively
• Motivated by learning, improvement, and meaningful impact
• An excellent communicator who helps align people and priorities

What You’ll Get

• £1,000+ annual learning & development budget
• 33 days holiday (rising to 40)
• 4-week paid sabbatical after 5 years
• 20 hours paid volunteering time
• A genuinely kind, ambitious, inclusive engineering culture
