Technical Lead
London | Up to £90,000 | Predominantly Remote
SR2 are working with a well-established technology consultancy that delivers bespoke digital solutions for a range of complex client environments.
They are looking for a hands-on Technical Lead to take a leading role across the delivery of modern software solutions. This will suit someone who enjoys remaining close to the technology but also wants to influence technical decisions, support other engineers and work directly with stakeholders to shape the approach.
You'll be joining teams working on challenging projects where there is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution. As a result, we're looking for someone who is comfortable navigating ambiguity, solving complex problems and bringing a pragmatic approach to technical delivery.
The position is predominantly remote, with occasional travel to client locations, typically a couple of times per month in the London area!
The role:
You'll take ownership of the technical direction across projects, helping teams move from initial ideas and requirements through to the delivery of robust software.
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.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing technical guidance and direction to software engineering teams
- Remaining hands-on with the development of modern, full-stack applications
- Making key decisions around software design, architecture and engineering approaches
- Working closely with stakeholders to understand requirements and turn them into effective technical solutions
- Supporting engineers through mentoring, collaboration and technical leadership
- Helping to establish and improve development practices, automation and delivery processes
- Working with cloud-based infrastructure and deployment environments
- Ensuring quality, security and maintainability are considered throughout the development lifecycle
What we're looking for:
We're interested in speaking with experienced software engineers who have already taken on technical leadership responsibilities, as well as established Technical Leads who still enjoy being hands-on.
