New Product | High Impact | 70% Hands-On / 30% Leadership
Areti Group is partnering with a high-growth technology organisation going through an exciting period of product expansion.
We’re looking for an exceptional Tech Lead to join a newly forming product team and take ownership of the technical direction, architecture and delivery of a brand-new product from the ground up.
This is a genuine hands-on Tech Lead position - ideal for someone who wants technical ownership and leadership responsibility without stepping away from the code.
The Essentials
- Monthly travel to the South Coast
- Work as part of a Tech / Product / Design leadership triad
Why This Role Stands Out
Build something from the ground up rather than inheriting an established product
Own the technical direction and have genuine influence over architecture and engineering decisions
Stay deeply hands-on while mentoring and developing a team
Work closely with Product & Design to turn ideas into robust technical solutions
Help shape the engineering standards, development practices and technical roadmap
Join an organisation where the technology has a genuine real-world impact
The organisation has a broad modern engineering estate including:
- Ruby
- TypeScript
- Go
- Python
- PHP
You don't need experience across the entire stack - they're looking for strong object-oriented engineering fundamentals and the ability to work confidently with modern software architecture.
What You'll Be Doing
- Owning the technical direction and architecture of a brand-new product
- Leading by example through hands-on development
- Making key architectural and technical decisions
- Establishing high engineering standards around code quality, testing and automation
- Working closely with Product and Design to translate requirements into scalable technical solutions
- Acting as the team's technical escalation point
- Reviewing code and driving engineering best practice
- Mentoring and developing engineers within the team
- Helping take the product from early-stage development through to market launch
- Working within 2-week Agile/Scrum sprints
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Tech Lead, Lead Engineer or Senior Software Engineer
- Strong experience within a product engineering environment
- Strong understanding of architecture and system design
- Experience with one or more object-oriented programming languages
- Experience mentoring, supporting or leading other engineers
- Comfortable making technical decisions and trade-offs
- Pragmatic, collaborative and commercially aware approach
- Someone who enjoys building products rather than simply maintaining them
- Experience working across Ruby, TypeScript, Go, Python or PHP
- Experience building greenfield products
- Experience taking products from concept through to production
- Experience working closely with Product and Design
