The Role

Hands-on leadership role managing 20 engineers across multiple teams who are building a no-code energy systems modelling platform, transitioning to a PaaS model for external users. You'll own architecture standards, drive delivery, and evolve cloud infrastructure, working closely with Product and the CTO.

Responsibilities

• Own backend architecture and design standards (DDD, clean APIs, open standards)
• Drive end-to-end delivery with a bias to shipping value incrementally
• Evolve cloud infrastructure for scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency
• Shape how the team uses AI tooling to raise, not lower, the bar

What You Bring

• 8+ years of software engineering experience; deep expertise in backend and distributed systems
• Proven engineering leadership: hiring, coaching, 1:1s, and team delivery
• Strong software design fundamentals: DDD, modularity, clean APIs, versioning
• PostgreSQL, ORMs, migrations, and performance optimisation
• Experience building developer platforms, multi-tenant systems, or public APIs
• Python (FastAPI/Flask), Docker, GitHub Actions, Cloud Run, CI/CD, containers
• Clear communicator across engineers, product managers, and senior stakeholders
