Salary: £85,000 per annum

About the Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Software Engineering Lead to help shape the future of our in-house PBSA management platform.
You’ll be a pivotal part of our product team, leading the engineering function while actively contributing code and technical solutions.
This is not a purely managerial role, you’ll be expected to design, build, and iterate alongside your team, with a strong focus on React and modern frontend practices.
Your work will directly impact operations across tenancy management, student engagement, maintenance scheduling, finance workflows, and more.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead from the front: Architect, develop, and deliver features in our React/TypeScript-based platform.
- Shape engineering strategy: Drive code quality, performance, and maintainability across the stack.
- Mentor and guide: Support engineers at all levels through coaching, code reviews, and technical direction.
- Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with product managers, operations leads, and designers to align tech with real-world PBSA needs.
- Improve developer experience: Champion CI/CD, testing, observability, and documentation standards.
- Champion quality and security: Ensure compliance with internal controls and external regulations (e.g., GDPR).
You’ll Be a Great Fit If You…
- Are hands-on and still love writing and reviewing code every day.
- Bring 10+ years' experience building and scaling full-stack or frontend-heavy web apps.
- Are fluent in React, TypeScript, HTML/CSS, and frontend performance optimization.
- Understand backend architecture well enough to collaborate effectively (Node.js, Azure SQL, ASP.NET Core, REST/GraphQL).
- Know how to design multi-tenant SaaS or distributed systems.
- Care deeply about clean code, DX, reusability, and practical UX.
- Can think strategically but move fast like a startup engineer.
- Are outcome-driven — not a fan of red tape or waterfall plans.
Bonus Experience (Nice to Have)
- Exposure to PBSA, property management, or booking systems.
- Experience with Next.js, TailwindCSS, or component design systems.
- Knowledge of Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines
- Familiarity with payment integrations, CRM platforms, or accounting platforms.
