🌳Hands On Software Engineering Managers/Tech leads – C#/.NET/AZURE - Data & Performance🌳
This is a hands-on technical leadership role with a strong focus on data architecture, application performance, and platform scalability.
You’ll lead a small senior engineering team, combining technical delivery with people leadership (around 75% technical / 25% line management).
Your focus will be on enabling the platform to scale intelligently — supporting reporting, APIs, AI/LLM usage, and real-time customer insight.
🔧 What You’ll Do
🌳 Lead and support a newly forming team focused on data architecture and application optimisation
🌳 Drive structural change within a large, established codebase to support scale
🌳 Influence architecture, design, and technology decisions across the platform
🌳 Partner closely with Product, Engineering Managers, and SRE leadership
🌳 Translate strategic scaling goals into clear, deliverable roadmap initiatives
🌳 Contribute to engineering-wide OKRs and technical direction
🌳 Champion a culture of learning, collaboration, and thoughtful technical challenge
🌳 Remain technically hands-on, solving complex backend and data-driven problems
💻 Tech Stack
Strong backend experience is essential.
Core technologies include:
🌳 C# / .NET (Framework & .NET Core)
🌳 Azure SQL Server
🌳 Azure Cloud Platform
Bonus experience (nice to have):
🌳 Azure Cognitive Search
🌳 Data pipelines (Fabric or similar)
🌳 Search technologies (Lucene, Elastic, NoSQL, MSSQL)
🌳 MS SQL views and performance optimisation
🌟 About You
You don’t need the job title — but you do need the leadership mindset.
You’ll thrive here if you are:
🌳 A strong backend engineer with deep .NET and Azure experience
🌳 Comfortable leading technical change in mature, complex systems
🌳 Skilled at breaking down big, ambiguous problems into clear actions
🌳 Emotionally intelligent and collaborative across teams
🌳 Confident challenging decisions — kindly and constructively
🌳 Motivated by learning, improvement, and meaningful impact
🌳 An excellent communicator who helps align people and priorities
🎁 What You’ll Get
🌳 Up to £90,000
🌳 £1,000+ annual learning & development budget
🌳 33 days holiday (rising to 40)
🌳 4-week paid sabbatical after 5 years
🌳 Private medical, dental & vision cover
🌳 Income protection & death-in-service
🌳 Matched 5% pension
🌳 20 hours paid volunteering time
🌳 Regular team socials & All-Hands events
🌳 A genuinely kind, ambitious, inclusive engineering culture
