Full job description

Help build the future of fair hiring in the AI era.

At Arctic Shores, we’re creating a world of work where potential matters more than experience.

Our market-leading, task-based psychometric assessments help organisations like Amazon, Siemens and Jet2 make fair, evidence-based hiring decisions. We’ve doubled ARR year-on-year for the past three years and are looking for a Head of Engineering to lead the next chapter.

The opportunity

This is a rare chance to lead engineering at a purpose-driven scale-up where technical excellence truly matters.

You’ll lead a small, high-calibre team of Software Developers and DevSecOps engineers working on a microservice architecture running on Kubernetes in AWS. It's built following strict functional design principles, TDD and CI/CD pipelines to automatically deploy to production.

You’ll combine people leadership with technical evolution of the platform through guiding team architecture discussions, balancing quality with pragmatism, and ensuring our platform remains secure, scalable, resilient and cost-efficient as we grow.

If you’re excited by leading a team where you can genuinely shape the future of our platform and how it can evolve to support the business, this could be your role.

Why this role might be a great fit for you

You might already be a Head of Engineering looking for more autonomy and purpose. Or you might be an experienced Engineering Manager or Tech Lead ready for your first Head of role.

You’ll thrive here if you:

Have a strong JVM background (Scala, Kotlin or Java) particularly using functional programming principles
Possess a strong testing mindset with experience in TDD and CI/CD practices.
Are experienced with AWS and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform).
Have knowledge of event-driven architecture and API design.
Feel confident to jump into different aspects of our code base, orient yourself and remove blockers for the team
Are motivated to coach and develop engineers through regular 1:1s and collaboration
Think about platform reliability, security, and cost efficiency as much as feature delivery
Like solving complex problems collaboratively and pragmatically

If most of that resonates (even if your path has been unconventional) we’d love to hear from you.

Our Stack

Languages & Frameworks

Scala, Kotlin, Typescript, Python
Http4s, Http4k, Circe, Cats, Cats-Effect, Doobie, React, Exposed

Testing

Specs2, ScalaCheck

Infrastructure & DevOps

AWS (EKS, Lambda, RDS/Postgres, DynamoDB, SQS, Kinesis, S3, Cognito, Route53, VPC, EC2)
Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, Ansible, Puppet
GitLab CI

Observability & Data

Prometheus, Grafana, OpenSearch
Snowflake

You don’t need experience in every tool, but you should feel confident in modern cloud-native, infrastructure-as-code environments.

Our Engineering Philosophy

We follow functional programming principles
We run Kanban and focus on the smallest effort that delivers meaningful impact
We practice TDD and maintain comprehensive automated test suites
Everything is automated and version-controlled
We evolve our ways of working through team retrospectives
We favour simple, maintainable architectures over unnecessary complexity

What you’ll do

Lead and develop a high-performing engineering team, aligning capacity to the roadmap and closing capability gaps.
Shape technical direction championing best practice, guiding architecture and code quality, and aligning engineering with company strategy.
Own delivery and reliability ensuring secure, scalable releases while optimising AWS costs.
Partner cross-functionally with Product and customer-facing teams to deliver roadmap outcomes and ensure technical excellence.

What you’ll get at Arctic Shores

Competitive salary - £100k-£115k depending on experience.
Share Options scheme
28 days holiday + public holidays (plus extra for length of service)
Private medical and mental health cover
2 mental wellbeing days per year
Aviva pension (3% employer / 5% employee)
Hybrid working and core hours flexibility
Enhanced parental leave
Fertility support
Company sick pay
Own Days — one day every month dedicated to your development
Cycle2Work scheme
Length of service awards
Central Manchester office location
A supportive team and a meaningful mission

The closing date for applications is Monday 8 June 2026

Our values

Make a difference
We can’t change everything. But we can contribute to a world of work that’s truly fair and inclusive.

Grow together
We invest in our ability, learn from setbacks, and celebrate the people behind our progress.

Explore, always
Curiosity, drive and bravery help us break new ground and rethink how potential is measured.

Applying for the role

If this role excites you but you don’t tick every box - we’d still love to hear from you.

Our hiring process includes but is not limited to:

Short application form
Our task-based assessment (you’ll receive instant feedback)
“Get to know you” conversations
Technical test and/or technical interview
Panel interview, incl. Leadership style questions

We’re interested in how you think, how you lead, and how you build, not just the logos on your CV.

Using AI in your application

Feel free to use AI tools to help structure your thinking or prepare but we want to see the real you.

Equal Opportunities

At Arctic Shores, giving people a fair chance is what we do — and that starts with hiring.

We welcome people of any background, gender identification, race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, ability level, age, size, marital status, style, or music taste.

If you need adjustments at any stage of the process, let us know — we’ll do everything we can to support you.
