Team Lead / Software Engineering Manager

Are you a people-first leader who knows how to bring teams together, remove blockers, and create an environment where engineers can thrive?

We're looking for a Team Lead to guide a Platform Engineering team and strengthen collaboration across multiple product teams. This is a leadership-focused role where coaching, stakeholder management, prioritisation, and team development are more important than being hands-on technically.

What You'll Do

  • Lead, coach and support a team of platform engineers.
  • Create clear goals, ownership and priorities for the team.
  • Build strong relationships with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Architects and development teams.
  • Facilitate collaboration between platform and product teams.
  • Drive alignment on priorities, processes and ways of working.
  • Remove obstacles and help teams deliver more effectively.
  • Support the ongoing development of platform capabilities and developer experience.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience leading and developing software engineering teams.
  • Strong coaching, mentorship and people management skills.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication abilities.
  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments.
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment with multiple teams and competing priorities.
  • Experience driving change and improving ways of working.

Nice to Have

  • Previous experience within a .NET software development environment.
  • Exposure to Azure, Docker, Kubernetes or platform engineering teams.

Interested? Apply or email [email protected] for more details.
