Description

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, GCP/AWS

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.

The Engineering Lead

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 Front End experience. The remainder will be spent coaching, mentoring, and supporting your team’s growth.

For the first three months, you’ll contribute as an individual contributor, embedding yourself in the product and tech stack before taking on leadership responsibilities.

What you’ll do

Lead a small team of Engineers while staying deeply technical

Contribute across the stack (React, Node.js/Typescript, GCP) with Back End experience highly valued

Shape and deliver high-quality features that scale with thousands of customers

Advocate for engineering best practices and help raise the technical bar

Collaborate with product and design to deliver exceptional user experiences

What you’ll bring

Proven experience leading small teams while still contributing technically

Strong Back End development expertise (Node.js, Typescript; Go a plus)

Familiarity with cloud-native architectures (GCP or AWS)

Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset

A balance of technical depth and people-first leadership

This is an amazing opportunity for an Engineering Lead to join a fast-growing scale-up as they take the next leap in their journey. Please reply with your CV of call Simon for a chat.
