London, United Kingdom Spectrum It Recruitment Limited Full time

Director of Software Development An exciting new opportunity with a high-growth B2B SaaS business scaling a complex, customer-facing platform used at significant volume. With continued investment in engineering, tooling, and leadership, they're looking for a Director of Software Development to help evolve and scale their engineering organisation. This role suits someone who came up through software engineering, understands modern development at depth, and now leads through strong principles, clear thinking, and trust rather than command-and-control. The Role You'll own the end-to-end software development operation, leading a small group of Software Development Managers who manage 40-50 engineers across development, DevOps, and QA. Engineering leadership is UK-based, alongside the build-out of a new technology hub in South Africa, giving you the opportunity to shape a distributed, high-performing engineering organisation. This isn't a role for someone stepping away from engineering, it's for someone who still cares deeply about how software is built, even at senior leadership level. What You'll Be Responsible For Owning delivery, quality, and scalability across the development function. Embedding modern DevOps practices as part of development - CI/CD, automation, small batch delivery, and fast feedback. Driving continuous improvement using metrics and meaningful engineering KPIs. Improving developer productivity through better tooling, process, and engineering discipline. Leading and developing managers, creating consistency while allowing teams autonomy. Partnering closely with the CTO on technology strategy, platform evolution, and future capability. Balancing delivery pressure with sustainable, high-quality engineering. About You 3+ years in a senior engineering leadership role (Director, Head of Engineering, VP, or Senior Engineering Manager). Strong technical background, having progressed from hands-on software engineering. Proven experience managing managers and scaling engineering teams. Comfortable leading distributed and offshore teams. Deep understanding of modern & mature software development and DevOps practices. Analytical, pragmatic, and outcome-focused; with the credibility to engage at both strategic and technical levels. Why This Role Senior leadership position with genuine influence and ownership. A company thatinvests in technology, tools, and training . Modern tech stack, robust engineering processes, and clear growth ambitions. Remote-first culture with purposeful collaboration. Opportunity to shape engineering culture at scale, not just maintain it. If you're managing managers, scaling teams, and want to do it in an environment that values engineering quality and long-term thinking, I'd be keen to talk. Hit apply or message me directly for a confidential discussion. Spectrum IT Recruitment (South) Limited is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.TPBN1_UKTJ
