Technical Lead (x5 positions – different squads/tribes/skillsets)
Newcastle (in office)
Defence Tech Start-up
Technical Lead (Defence Projects)
A high-growth technology consultancy is seeking Technical Leads to support delivery across complex, high-impact defence programmes. They're building teams across application (C#, Java, Python), low-level/embedded (C/C++, Rust), Data, AI/ML, and DevOps skillsets.
They are deliberately setting a very high bar, hiring engineers from top universities who are among the strongest technically in their field. The work is very problem-solving focused, small teams tackling complex systems, often working on completely new challenges every few months.
You'll genuinely be working alongside some of the best engineers/teams in the country, solving problems no one else has before.
They’re hiring for, and value, people who:
- Enjoy working on challenging systems
- Are friendly
- Truly understand problem-solving, from first principles
- Are adaptable and articulate
The Technical Lead Role
As the Technical Lead, you will combine hands-on engineering with leadership responsibilities, guiding multi-disciplinary teams in demanding and often ambiguous environments.
Technical Lead Responsibilities include:
- Leading engineering teams and setting technical direction
- Defining architecture, standards, and engineering trade-offs
- Mentoring engineers across varying levels of experience
- Conducting code and design reviews
- Engaging directly with clients to shape requirements and manage expectations
- Planning delivery, estimation, and prioritisation
- Managing technical debt while balancing delivery pressures
Technical Lead Requirements:
- Strong software engineering background with leadership experience
- Experience in Application, or Low-Level/Embedded, or AI/ML, or DevOps, or Data
- Proven ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
- Experience working in client-facing or consulting environments, or at least the attributes to thrive in these environments
- Familiarity with modern engineering practices (CI/CD, IaC, containers, testing)
- Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
Additional Criteria:
- STEM Degree (2:1 or 1st) from a leading university
- Eligibility for UK SC-level security clearance
- Interest, or experience, in defence, national security, or similar sectors is advantageous (but not required)
