What you'll do
- Lead a team of 6 to 7 engineers of mixed seniority, owning delivery, quality and production health end to end — keeping engagement high and standards higher
- Together with your product partner, define the mission and vision for your team and build a roadmap you can defend to stakeholders
- Take part in architecture reviews and help shape the technical direction of the Scheduling stream, including the migration of core scheduling capabilities from the monolith into purpose-built services
- Set and uphold the security, reliability, performance and scalability standards required to remain the most trusted e-health SaaS in Europe
- Partner with Talent and People teams to recruit, develop and retain engineers through career conversations and feedback they can act on
- Embed AI-assisted engineering into how your team works day to day, with a clear and honest view of where it helps and where it does not
- Continuously improve how the team operates — planning, on-call, bug backlog, incident follow-up — so the team spends its energy on what moves the needle
What we're looking for
- Have at least 6 years of software engineering experience and 3 years of engineering management experience, including leading a team of 5+ engineers through delivery, hiring and growth
- Are credible with senior backend engineers — distributed systems, data modelling, latency and throughput are conversations you can hold and challenge; you stay close enough to the code to review a pull request, without needing to be the one writing it
- Have hands-on experience modernising a large legacy system, ideally extracting services from a monolith, and know how to keep a team delivering while the ground moves
- Are an effective communicator who can translate company goals into team objectives, and who says the uncomfortable thing early rather than late
- Think critically and objectively, with a solution-oriented approach that brings people with you
Nice to have
- Have worked in a regulated industry such as healthcare or fintech, where privacy and data protection shape design decisions
- Have navigated hyper-growth environments and understand the trade-offs they force on architecture and team organisation
- Have formed a considered view on AI coding assistants — their real benefits and their real shortcomings
