Full job description

Job title: Head of Engineering (FTC with Permanent Option)
Type: Full Time Fixed Term Contract with strong potential to transition into a permanent role

We are working with an established product and data-driven technology business looking for a hands-on Head of Engineering to lead a small engineering team through an important period of change and growth.

This role needs someone who can bring structure, momentum and strong leadership to the team while remaining technically hands-on and capable of leading from the front when needed. You will need to earn trust quickly, challenge where appropriate, make decisions confidently and keep delivery moving forward.

You will work closely with senior leadership and play a key role in shaping engineering standards, improving ways of working and creating better alignment across engineering, product and delivery.

This is not a role for someone who wants to sit above the detail. The team needs a leader who can step into difficult conversations, drive accountability and bring focus when priorities or opinions pull in different directions.

The current environment is heavily focused around modern JavaScript and full-stack engineering, including Node.js, API architecture and cloud-native delivery.

The Role

You will lead a small engineering team across product development, cloud-native services and client-facing solutions.

The business is looking for someone who can balance leadership with hands-on technical involvement. Leadership will be the larger part of the role, but it is important that you can still contribute technically and demonstrate strong engineering judgement through hands-on involvement where needed. The expectation is roughly a 70:30 or 60:40 split in favour of leadership.

You will also partner closely with senior stakeholders and help create a stronger operational rhythm across engineering delivery.

Responsibilities

Lead and mentor a small engineering team
Drive accountability and keep delivery moving forward
Make clear decisions and bring alignment across the team
Gain the respect of the engineering team through both leadership and technical contribution
Bring structure and focus to engineering planning and execution
Challenge unproductive behaviours and keep teams aligned on priorities
Work closely with senior leadership to raise concerns, unblock issues and improve outcomes
Provide technical leadership across a modern JavaScript/TypeScript stack
Contribute hands-on where needed across architecture, development, APIs and cloud-native services
Help shape the future direction of engineering within the business
Balance engineering quality with pragmatic delivery outcomes and momentum

About You

Proven experience leading engineering teams within product or SaaS environments
Deep expertise in JavaScript, ideally including TypeScript
Strong full-stack engineering experience, including Node.js and API architecture
Comfortable contributing technically within a modern cloud-native environment
Comfortable leading difficult conversations and challenging constructively when needed
Able to establish trust quickly with both engineers and stakeholders
Strong decision-making skills and confidence operating in evolving environments
Pragmatic mindset with the ability to balance engineering quality with delivery momentum
Process-driven with the ability to create focus and avoid unnecessary tangents
Comfortable balancing technical leadership with people leadership
Confident operating in technical discussions with senior engineers and stakeholders
Comfortable working within small, collaborative teams with minimal hierarchy
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
Experience working closely with founders, CTOs or senior leadership teams

Nice to Have

Experience with Google Cloud Platform
Experience with modern deployment platforms such as Vercel
Exposure to geospatial, GIS or mapping products
Interest or experience in open source technologies or communities

Why Join?

Opportunity to shape and influence an evolving engineering function
High level of autonomy and visibility within the business
Chance to make a meaningful impact quickly
Collaborative, low-hierarchy environment with direct access to leadership
Small team environment where you can influence engineering direction from day one
Work closely with experienced founders and senior leadership
Strong long-term opportunity for the role to become permanent
