Job Opportunity: Tech Lead
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Tech Lead based in United Kingdom.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Tech Lead to take ownership of technical direction, execution, and team leadership within a fast-growing, post-Series A startup.
You’ll work closely with the founding team and play a central role in shaping engineering priorities and delivering high-impact products. A major focus will be leading greenfield initiatives powered by Large Language Models and modern AI technologies.
The role combines technical leadership with people and process management, while remaining strongly hands-on — with around 75% of your time spent close to the code. You’ll help solve challenging engineering problems across a modern, scalable sales technology platform used by rapidly growing businesses. You’ll also act as a key bridge between engineering and product, ensuring effective collaboration across multiple initiatives.
This role offers an excellent path for a strong technical leader looking to develop toward an Engineering Manager position.
Accountabilities
- Partner closely with the founders to define engineering priorities, execution plans, and technical direction.
- Serve as a key link between engineering and product, maintaining alignment across teams and parallel projects.
- Lead greenfield projects from concept through delivery, including products and capabilities powered by LLMs and AI technologies.
- Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to engineers while maintaining a high standard for engineering quality.
- Plan and facilitate engineering sprints to enable predictable, efficient, and high-quality delivery.
- Remain hands-on with the codebase, contributing through coding, code reviews, debugging, architecture, and platform improvements.
- Identify and resolve complex technical challenges while improving system stability, scalability, and performance.
- Build and grow a high-performing engineering team, taking ownership of the recruitment process from sourcing through hiring.
- Support engineers’ professional development through regular feedback, mentorship, and meaningful growth opportunities.
- Contribute to broader engineering practices, processes, and initiatives across the organization.
