Technical Lead (Cloud, Security & Engineering)

We're working with a forward-thinking organisation that's investing heavily in its digital and security capabilities. They're looking for a Technical Lead who can set the standard for engineering excellence, shape delivery practices, and act as the trusted authority across product, security, and infrastructure.

This is a chance to step into a role where you'll have real influence: defining how products are built, mentoring engineers, and ensuring technology decisions align with business goals.

Responsibilities

As Technical Lead, you'll be the go-to problem solver and a key voice in shaping the organisation's technical direction. Your responsibilities will include:

• Acting as the technical authority, providing guidance and solutions to complex engineering challenges
• Designing and evolving delivery frameworks, ensuring products and services are built to scale securely
• Creating and maintaining technology standards, while balancing pragmatism with best practice
• Leading engineering teams through change, release cycles, and product delivery
• Working closely with stakeholders across IT, Security, and Operations to align priorities
• Mentoring and inspiring junior engineers, embedding a culture of quality and continuous improvement

Essential experience

• Strong knowledge of coding concepts and modern engineering practices
• Cloud expertise (AWS preferred) with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CloudFormation)
• Containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Modern development frameworks (React, Node.js, Next.js, Python)
• Databases such as DynamoDB, MongoDB, or RDS
• CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions)
• Identity and access management (SSO, federated identity, Okta)
• Exposure to high-availability architectures, monitoring, and troubleshooting
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders

If you're excited by the idea of leading technical direction while staying close to the engineering detail, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and let's start the conversation.
