At a glance:

Location: Cambridge
In-office expectation: Once every two weeks
Employment type: Permanent
Salary: Up to £95,000, subject to experience
Why this role exists: To help build the next generation of AI capabilities for database professionals, developing new agentic AI interfaces and integrating capabilities across Redgate’s product suite.

About Redgate

Redgate brings together people who want to do their best work in an environment built on trust, accountability, and collaboration.

We build solutions that help data professionals securely manage the data and databases that their organizations depend on - a space that's only becoming more critical as systems scale, data regulations increase, and AI adoption accelerates.

Why join our engineering team?

You’ll work in a team that cares about craft, collaboration, and quality (not hero coding).
There’s real scope to grow your skills and impact, with clear pathways and support.
We value sustainable delivery — good ways of working and time to improve how we build.

About the role

This is a hands-on technical leadership role within a small, cross-functional team focused on building the next generation of AI capabilities for database administration. You’ll sit alongside a Tech Lead, Product Designer, Product Manager, and 4–5 software engineers, with additional support from a Group Engineering Manager, Architect, and coaching function.

You’ll be at the forefront of developing agentic AI interfaces and approaches tailored to the needs of database professionals, working across teams to bring Redgate’s tooling into a coherent AI-driven workflow.
You’ll shape the team’s approach to the most complex engineering challenges, owning the quality of engineering practice and developing the skills of those around you.
You’ll lead cross-team engineering initiatives and collaborate with the Architect to inform technical strategy at the product level.
You’ll be an active participant in the team’s leadership — helping to set and deliver goals alongside the Tech Lead and Product Manager.
You’ll have a direct line to customer impact: understanding how your team’s work solves real problems and prioritising accordingly.

What makes you a great fit

Experience designing, building, and operating scalable, resilient, and secure software systems — with a bias for simplicity and maintainability.
Proven track record of leading complex engineering work, including cross-team collaboration and breaking down ambiguity into clear delivery.
Proficiency in modern .NET/C#, Python, or TypeScript, with expertise in at least one.
Strong communicator, able to distil complex technical decisions into clear rationale for a range of audiences.
Evidence of developing other engineers through coaching, mentoring, and role modelling, with a genuine commitment to team growth.

What we offer

Salary range: Up to £95,000, subject to experience
Discretionary Company Bonus

Hybrid working: home and Cambridge office (once a fortnight)
Monthly wellbeing allowance and generous paid time off
Genuine investment in learning, development, and career progression
Private health insurance

What happens next?

Your application will be reviewed by a person — we don’t use AI or automated tools to assess applications. Every profile is read by one of our Talent Partners.
You’ll hear back within a few days — whether it’s a next step or a no, we aim to respond promptly so you’re not left wondering.
Our interview process is straightforward and consistent — you’ll find more detail on our typical hiring process below, so you know what’s coming and why.

Belonging at Redgate

We believe that people do their best work in an environment built on respect, fairness, and trust — and that diverse perspectives lead to better outcomes. Redgate is an equal opportunity employer, and we make hiring decisions based on skill, potential, and alignment with our values.
