Your new company
This rapidly growing SaaS technology business has established itself as one of the UK's leading B2B software success stories. Combining the agility of a scale-up with the stability of a profitable, privately owned organisation, the company has built an engineering-first culture where technology investment remains a core strategic priority.
Unlike many software businesses, the engineering teams are not constrained by significant legacy technology. Instead, developers work within a modern cloud-native environment, leveraging best-in-class engineering practices and a genuine DevOps culture where software is deployed multiple times per day.
This role can be offered hybrid in one of their UK hubs or can be worked UK remote (minimum once per quarter office visit). It's about finding the right people and enabling them to thrive rather than dictating working patterns.
Your new role
This is an organisation experiencing significant growth across its engineering function. As part of that expansion, they are recruiting multiple Software Development Managers alongside several Staff Engineers, creating an excellent opportunity to join at a pivotal stage of the company's continued growth. You'll be working alongside some of the strongest technical talent in the business whilst helping shape the next phase of engineering maturity and scale.
