Sanderson Recruitment
West George Street 177, Glasgow
£80,000 - 80,000
Requirements
Must:
- Significant commercial software engineering experience, operating at a senior/staff level.
- Comfort leading through influence: you can align teams, coach engineers, and drive decisions without relying on hierarchy.
- A strong sense of ownership and follow-through.
- A bias for action paired with good judgement: you can move quickly while managing risk in production systems.
- Evidence of improving how teams work (quality, delivery, reliability, developer experience) and challenging the status quo constructively.
- Clear communicator who can tailor detail for different audiences: engineers, product partners, and leadership.
- Deep capability in at least one mainstream programming language and ecosystem, with the range to be effective in others.
- Practical experience designing and running cloud-native services, including infrastructure, deployment, and operational tooling.
- Confidence diagnosing complex issues in distributed systems (performance, reliability, tricky production defects).
- Strong grasp of data storage and access patterns, with hands-on experience across relational and/or NoSQL databases.
- Comfort working with modern engineering practices: automated testing, code review, CI/CD, observability, and secure-by-design thinking.
- Curiosity about emerging approaches (including applied and agentic AI) and the ability to adopt them responsibly where they add value.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain production services and customer-facing features, from early discovery through to release and operation.
- Provide technical leadership across multiple squads: clarify goals, reduce ambiguity, and help teams converge on pragmatic solutions.
- Partner closely with Product and Design to turn outcomes into shippable increments, keeping communication crisp and expectations aligned.
- Set a high bar for engineering quality: architecture, code health, testing discipline, observability, and operational readiness.
- Work with reliability/operations colleagues to improve uptime, performance, incident response, and capacity planning.
- Own and improve delivery ways of working: estimation approaches, planning, prioritisation, and predictable execution against epics.
- Continuously modernise existing systems; simplify, automate, and remove friction to increase delivery speed.
- Contribute to the technical roadmap for your domain, balancing near-term delivery with longer-term platform evolution.
- Collaborate on cross-cutting initiatives such as security, data, and applied AI where they improve product outcomes.
