We're working with a globally recognised tech-for-good platform helping organisations build more sustainable, responsible supply chains.

Backed by a huge global customer base and years of rich data, they're investing heavily in AI to shape their next-gen product.

They need a hands-on Tech Lead to own engineering for a small cross-functional pod β€” combining coding, technical leadership, and line management.

You'll be the technical role model: someone who's been a pivotal engineer through a scale-up, leads by example, and makes full use of AI tooling to push team productivity.

What you'll do

  • Build and evolve backend services (Kotlin/Java), owning architecture and technical direction
  • Line-manage your engineers β€” 1:1s, growth, accountability, culture
  • Partner with Product/Design to ship in thin, valuable slices
  • Drive AI-assisted development β€” daily use, coaching the team, evaluating tools, measuring impact
  • Remove bottlenecks, simplify systems, improve CI/CD and delivery speed

What they need

  • 3–5 years senior-level, ideally as a key engineer in a startup/scale-up
  • Cloud-native chops: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD
  • 1+ year using AI coding assistants, can speak to benefits/limits
  • Experience mentoring or line-managing engineers
  • Product mindset, pragmatic, comfortable with ambiguity, strong Agile background
