Lead Engineer | Weekly visits to Central Bristol | Salary Range: £85-100k

Would you like to spend your day-job helping the UK become net-zero?

These opportunities don’t come around too often – I’m working with a start-up who are supporting the UK with its goal of becoming Net Zero by 2050!

The work you’ll do will genuinely help save the planet!

They’re currently a team of circa 20 (with around 50% of the business working in engineering) and are looking to add the first Lead Engineer to their existing team of amazing engineers in Bristol – the calibre of the team is exceptional!

After launching in early 2024, they’ve already built an impressive customer base & significant revenue generation. Their next step is to develop their suite of products further as they look to cover new areas within the renewable energy sector.

You’ll remain hands-on, working on a range of exciting projects & working with highly complex engineering problems, whilst also providing leadership to the team.

From a leadership perspective, you’ll help the team with their individual career development journeys, whilst providing valuable expertise to the high-level technical direction & decisions of the team.

This is an amazing opportunity for someone who may have already begun their leadership journey, or potentially someone who is super-keen to embark on that journey and feels that they have all the skills to be successful in that type of role.

What you’ll need

  • Excellent full stack expertise in the TypeScript stack (Node.js & React)
  • Either experience of line managing a small team, or a natural aptitude to do so
  • A desire to work in a role with an even balance of hands-on coding & team leadership
  • Experience in a fast-paced start-up environment or ability to operate in such an environment
  • The ability to contribute towards high-level technical decisions & direction
  • A strong user-focus; building products that focus on how they will impact the most important people – the users!!
  • A passion for environmentally-focussed products or developing clever solutions for society-wide issues
  • Highly collaborative and enthusiastic about working on a hybrid-working basis alongside amazing colleagues a couple of days a week in Bristol!
