As we accelerate our transformation into an AI-first, cloud-native company , we’re building the next generation of intelligent, automated solutions that enable our customers to work smarter, stay compliant effortlessly, and focus on what matters most.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for an Engineering Lead to play a pivotal role in our cloud transformation journey. This hybrid role blends technical leadership, agile delivery, and people management —you’ll lead an autonomous engineering team building modern full-stack applications using the latest UI frameworks, .NET Core, and cloud-native technologies.

You’ll guide architecture and delivery, foster team growth, and stay hands-on where it matters—ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and production-ready.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and coach a cross-functional engineering team, fostering growth and collaboration
  • Drive delivery of complex projects, ensuring alignment with business goals and OKRs
  • Provide technical direction on architecture, design, and system health
  • Define quality and security standards, embedding testing and governance into delivery
  • Partner with product, design, DevOps, and leadership to ensure predictable, high-quality releases
  • Shape CI / CD, observability, and cloud strategies to support scalable, resilient solutions
  • What We’re Looking For

  • 6+ years in software engineering with leadership / mentorship experience
  • Strong technical background in .NET Core, C#, cloud-native architecture, containers (Docker / Kubernetes) , and modern UI frameworks (React, Angular, Vue, or Blazor)
  • Experience with CI / CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (Terraform / ARM / AWS CDK) , and observability tools (Datadog, AppInsights, CloudWatch)
  • Proven success delivering software in Agile environments at scale
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and decision-making skills
  • Bonus points if you have :

  • Experience in regulated domains (finance, healthcare, govtech)
  • Advanced Azure / AWS certifications
  • Exposure to platform engineering, AI tools, or reusable component frameworks
  • Why Join Us?

  • Competitive salary + leadership premium
  • Private medical, life assurance, pension, generous holiday allowance
  • Executive leadership programs & advanced technical training
  • Opportunities to speak at conferences and shape engineering practices
  • Recognized as a Great Place to Work and Best Workplace for Women
  • At IRIS, you’ll do more than write code—you’ll shape the future of cloud and AI-powered solutions used by millions of people every day.

    Ready to lead with impact? Apply now and help us build the next generation of intelligent software.
