About the roles:

Our client is made up of Squads of excellent Software Engineers, to lead them they need people who are passionate about bringing the best out of others through ongoing development and leadership.

They are not hands on but do need to be from a technical background as they will be tasked with reviewing code when paired with their teams. Perhaps you are an Engineer who is looking to make the step into management through taking on more coaching/mentoring responsibilities, or perhaps you have already mentored and led smaller projects in your current team and are looking for more responsibility in the form of running the day to day operations of the team.

• You will be technical and knowledgeable about the day to day running of a team of high performing Software Engineers.

• You will have been involved in interviewing and onboarding Engineers, growing teams while maintaining standards of delivery excellence.
