Opportunity to lead and shape the work on a brand-new SaaS product , with modern technology. The organisation have been running successfully now for years and currently undergoing a digital transformation , as they're looking to really modernise their offerings. They're looking for a couple of key leadership hires to help catapult this vision forward. The organisation have a couple popular products that are used worldwide (UK, Europe, US and Canada), and have very recently gone to production with a brand-new product they believe could be their next 'big thing', it's a cloud-based platform with AI functions, and a lot of their customer base has already expressed interest in this - you'll largely be working on this. In this role, you'll be tasked to technically lead a squad of 5 consisting of Software Engineers and Testers. You'll be involved in setting them up each day, assigning them tickets, helping to unblock them when needed and really championing the work (and best practices too!). You'll also be the direct line manager for all five, where you'll be expected to carry out 1-1's, appraisals, training up staff members etc, so are ideally looking for someone with prior experience doing this. As this SaaS product is still within it's infancy, you'll be pretty hands on in the role , with development and architecture responsibilities. As you'll regularly be involved in coding ( their current tech stack is .Net, VueJS and Azure ). However, you'll have real autonomy in this role where you're able to suggest and implement technologies you believe would help benefit the product. You'll ideally have commercial experience with the following; Direct Line Management experience Software Architecture Cloud Services (ideally Azure, but open to AWS and GCP) Strong programming experience with C# Full Stack Development with modern JS libraires (Vue, React or Angular) The following is highly desirable; Working with SaaS Products DevOps / SRE experience Interest or experience in AI This role would suit an ambitious technical leader looking to join a small product function, where you'll be given autonomy to really shape what the company believe to be their next flagship product. Culture is at the heart of this organisation , where they truly embody their values and as a technical leader within the business you'll be responsible for fostering this within the team - where you'll promote a mantra of collectiveness, openness and transparency. Their offices are based in central Glasgow , where it's walkable from city centre, they also have good transport links and onsite parking - so it's caters to most! The organisation support really flexible working where you can work largely from home for this role, providing you can pop in for the monthly meetings and team workshops. In return, they're offering a salary of roughly 60k to 75k for this role, with good benefits to match.
