Engineering Teamlead - Messaging Team in London

At SoSafe, you'll be part of a cybersecurity team that thrives on innovation, safeguarding organizations against evolving threats and making the digital world a safer place. You will have the opportunity to make a real impact, surrounded by a vibrant and supportive team and environment committed to your professional growth.

Here’s how you’ll make a difference:

• Own and lead SoSafe’s business-critical Messaging Platform, responsible for outbound communication across all products.
• Build and evolve a shared, multi-channel messaging backbone, abstracting provider-specific complexity and delivery mechanics away from product teams.
• Ensure messaging remains reliable, scalable and compliant by default - even as volume, channels and business requirements grow.
• Translate company and engineering strategy into a clear, outcome-driven roadmap, balancing reliability, scalability, compliance and new capabilities.
• Reduce delivery and operational complexity for experience squads by providing clear abstractions and reliable platform services.
• Drive operational excellence through improved monitoring, incident response and continuous improvement.
• Build strong partnerships with Product and other Platform teams to maximize impact across the organization.

What makes you a great fit:

• You have led and grown engineering teams.
• You bring strong people leadership experience and enjoy coaching, developing and growing experienced engineers.
• You’re comfortable leading teams through ambiguity, turning strategy into execution and measurable outcomes.
• You bring a technical background and can confidently set technical direction.
• You are comfortable operating business-critical systems in cloud-native environments.
• You value reliability and operational excellence as much as feature delivery.
• You think in platforms and products, treating experience squads as your customers.
• You communicate clearly and confidently with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• You’re familiar with - or excited to work with - the following areas:

• Modern backend development, primarily with Node.js (NestJS) in a microservice-based architecture.
• Containerized and cloud-native systems, including Docker, Kubernetes, and GitOps-style deployments with ArgoCD.
• Version control and CI/CD workflows built around GitHub and automated delivery pipelines.
• Cloud infrastructure on AWS, operating and scaling business-critical services.
• Messaging and email delivery systems, including AWS SES, SMTP-based delivery, and Postfix.
• Developer tooling and operational observability, using tools like Cursor IDE, LaunchDarkly, and Sentry.

What we offer:

• Work/Life balance: Flexible hours, 33 vacation days.
• Wellbeing and financial support: Access to Open Up, corporate discounts.
• Connection & community: Virtual events, collaborative team activities, and opportunities for local meet-ups.
• And the list goes on: Tech equipment, referral bonuses, dog-friendly HQ.
