Technical Lead

Technical Lead | Hybrid – Bristol | £80,000 – £100,000

Peaple Talent is partnering with a growing SaaS business that’s developing an innovative product bringing behavioural science to consumer brands. As the business continues to scale, they’re looking for a hands-on Technical Lead to take ownership of the technology, help shape the engineering function and build a team around them.

You’ll be working across Python, APIs, AWS, Linux, databases and automation, whilst mentoring existing developers and helping grow the team through future hiring.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys being close to the technology but is equally motivated by developing people, making good technical decisions and creating a strong engineering culture.

• Strong commercial experience with Python
• Previous experience as a Tech Lead, Senior Engineer with leadership responsibilities
• Strong Linux experience
• Experience building web applications using FastAPI, Django, Flask or similar
• Good knowledge of AWS
• Strong understanding of software development, testing and DevOps best practices
• Experience mentoring and developing other engineers
• The ability to balance hands-on development with technical leadership and team responsibilities

Nice To Have

• Experience hiring, onboarding or growing an engineering team
• Experience working within an early-stage or growing SaaS business
• Docker
• Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or CloudFormation
• Experience establishing engineering standards, processes and ways of working from the ground up
