Engineering Lead – AI-SaaS Platform | Tripled ARR in 12 months
Remote-first (UK) with hybrid London office option
Up to £150,000 per annum plus equity
Typescript/Node, React, Golang, GCP/AWS - Your tech background is less important than how you lead Engineers solving complex technical challenges
The Engineering Lead
We’re working with an amazing scale-up who raised a very impressive Series B round earlier in 2025. They are building an AI-native SaaS platform that’s redefining sector and have experienced explosive growth over the past year tripling their ARR. They are scaling their Engineering team to match the ambition of their product and customers.
We’re hiring Engineering Leads
To guide small, focused squads (up to 4 Engineers) while remaining hands-on in the codebase. This isn’t a “people manager only” role — around 70% of your time will be technical, leading the design and build of AI-native solutions with real-time infrastructure and a seamless frontend experience. The remainder will be spent coaching, mentoring, and supporting your team’s growth.
