Product Engineering Team Lead
London, UK | Hybrid (3 days/week) | Permanent, Full-Time
We're hiring a Product Engineering Team Lead to join a fast-growing part of our business, working with major financial services clients — reporting into an engineering leader who's genuinely on a mission to transform and scale this practice.
This is a role split evenly between technical leadership and people leadership. You'll need real depth in Java, React, and Spring Boot — confident enough to design a solution and defend it credibly to a sharp, technical client stakeholder — alongside strong team management experience and the personality to match: someone who builds trust fast, coaches well, and leads with credibility rather than just authority.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll be:
- Leading and growing one or more delivery teams, with genuine day-to-day people management and career development responsibility
- Owning technical solution design and defending it to client stakeholders
- Managing client expectations, including knowing when and how to push back — tactfully but firmly
- Navigating enterprise-level governance and process pragmatically, without losing delivery momentum
- Acting as the "go-to" person for your key stakeholders
What we're looking for:
- Deep, hands-on Java, React, and Spring Boot expertise (non-negotiable)
- Broader technical range across the wider stack, cloud (GCP/Azure/AWS) and microservices
- Proven engineering leadership and team management experience
- Strong stakeholder management and tactful pushback skills
- A pragmatic, get-it-done mindset suited to enterprise process
- The right personality — approachable, credible, calm under pressure, genuinely invested in developing people
