Ipswich, United Kingdom SR2 Full time

Tech Lead | Ipswich | Hybrid | £75,000 - £80,000 | Tech Agnostic | Tech4Good
Salary: £75,000 - £80,000
Location: Ipswich (hybrid)
 
Tech Stack:

Tech agnostic environment with a strong Python core.
API driven.
Modern CI/CD practices. 
Are you a Tech Lead who can write production quality code, keep a team moving, and still lift your head up to see the bigger picture?
 
We are partnered with a growing data led technology business building a complex, high impact platform used globally. This is a senior, hands on leadership role where you will shape core platform features, line manage engineers, and lead delivery from the front.
 
This role suits someone calm under pressure, commercially aware, and confident to lead while being honest about what is hard.
 
Responsibilities

Leading a small engineering team while remaining hands on in the codebase
Designing and building core platform features used at scale
Owning technical direction and setting engineering standards
Working closely with Product Owners to keep the roadmap on time and story points realistic
Championing clean, maintainable code that works first time
Bringing a strong agile mindset into delivery
Mentoring engineers and supporting their technical and personal development
Making engineering decisions with ARR and commercial impact in mind 
Requirements for success:

Proven experience as a senior engineer stepping into or already operating at Tech Lead level
Strong backend engineering background, bonus if Python, but language agnostic in mindset
Experience designing and building RESTful APIs and distributed systems
Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure and microservice architecture
Experience line managing, mentoring, or leading engineers day to day
Calm, pragmatic approach to leadership with open and honest communication 
The ideal candidate is someone who can zoom out to see the bigger picture without losing grip on the details, leads calmly under pressure, and is confident making decisions while being honest when trade offs appear. They enjoy being hands on in the code but also take responsibility for guiding others, setting standards, and keeping delivery on track. They communicate clearly, work persuasively alongside Product Owners, and understand that good engineering is as much about collaboration and commercial impact as it is about clean code.
 
They naturally lead from the front, care about team morale, and bring people together rather than creating silos. They think in terms of outcomes not just outputs, balancing customer needs with long term platform health. Above all, they take ownership, hold themselves to high standards, and understand that building reliable software and predictable delivery directly underpins ARR and the wider success of the business.
 
Benefits:

25 days holiday + bank holidays + birthday off
Private healthcare
Share options + more
Opportunity to make an impact on a capable engineering team and impactful product
