  • The company is looking for someone with significant experience in the tech industry, ideally with several years of relevant experience to contribute to their ambitious multi-year roadmap.

It's a super busy and exciting time for my client.

Their flagship product is doing incredibly well within its industry, with over 500 customers utilising it. But what I love about it, is that they haven't even scratched the surface of where they intend to take it. It is continuously evolving as a platform, as they anticipate the delivery of an exciting multi-year road-map and continue to on-board new customers.

Their CTO feels it is the exactly the right time to bring in a top-notch Head of Software to lead, motivate and inspire their talented Software Engineering team.. and this is where you come in!

I'm looking for a seasoned, inspirational Tech Leader and one that knows exactly how to get the best out of their people. Alongside leading the team, you will play a key role in the technical execution of their ambitious road-map - defining it accordingly and executing across the business.

Let's talk tech. So - their highly scalable Flagship product is built mainly around the NodeJS ecosystem and this is the foundation of their applications. It's well-geared for websites with the React framework on the front-end - all on Azure platform.. What else? TypeScript, Redux.js, React Hooks, Bootstrap and so much more.

Whilst this is a leadership and strategy focused role, you will have a good appreciation for the tech under your remit. Therefore, you will come from a hands-on JavaScript background using Node or React previously. (Or even still!) and have led teams of Engineers. I'm also looking for an advocate of Agile - this is really important, as you'll champion it across the business.. Leading sprint planning and implementing tools like Jira. You'll also have a good handle on QA an be able to implement test management processes - leading the adoption of Automation frameworks across the business.

Alongside their industry-leading product they're also piloting new stuff like on AI like chatbot - so there's plenty of opportunities ahead with newer tech. They're quite a traditional firm with a flat structure - you'll work closely with the CTO but also their Head of Product and Head of Ops in relation to overall company strategy.

Mega role, superb product and a fantastic team. The CTO is great, with a real vision of where he wants to take their applications. He has been there since Day One when the application was built from scratch & is super passionate about finding the right person to be part of their evolution!

Up to 90k plus benefits. I'd like you to be open to hybrid working, spending 2 days a week at their offices close to Sheffield.
