You will lead the engineering of UFM, the platform that will replace five legacy systems serving approximately 400,000 contracts across six countries, within a deliberately lean, AI-native organisation. Rather than operating through traditional squads, you will work with developer / product builder pairs on a shared platform.

You Will Remain

Hands-on While Progressively Taking Responsibility For Scaling The Organisation, From The Founding Team To a Programme Of Approximately 30 People Deliver hands-on first (around 60% initially): architecture decisions, code, and the hard technical calls, alongside the platform pod

Design and grow the pod topology: pairing, seniority mix, module-family ownership, the platform/product pod split

Own engineering standards where most code is agent-generated: review gates, ADRs, testing strategy, CI/CD. The tools change; the bar does not drop

Shape the agentic engineering practice group-wide, including instrumenting the legacy estates with AI so productivity gains fund the pods

Arbitrate velocity against foundations, and present progress,



risks and investment needs to executive stakeholders. Profile 12+ years in software engineering, 4+ leading teams, and still writes code

Has scaled an engineering organisation — and is willing to keep this one small on purpose

AI-native conviction: has shipped with coding agents as part of the delivery team, not as a side experiment

Comfortable with legacy estates, ambiguity and multi-country enterprise reality

Fluent English; another European language is a plus.
