It's a tired recruitment cliché but for once it's actually true...
Roles like this don't come around very often.
We're on the lookout for a Head of Engineering to come and take control of a mature development function as they start the next stage of their digital expansion.
As you can imagine, there's a lot more to this than merely a list of technical requirements.
You will be responsible for the output and growth of one of the industries leading technical teams, definining their strategy and roadmap as they continue what has already been a rapid expansion of the tech function.
The role will be largely hands-off but due to their size, we can't afford a leader who is past the point of being comfortable in and around the code base.
Their stack is focussed around modern JavaScript - expect Node.JS backends and React fronts with a smattering of serverless AWS.
You'll have one of the countries leading Dev Leads underneath you but will be there to support and advise from above.
As well as an elite level grasp of JavaScript, any previous eCommerce experience will be a huge bonus as well as a background of growing pre-existing development functions.
Providing a benefits package that has to be seen to be believed and with the sign-off already in place for you to grow your team by 100% over the next 12 months, you will struggle to find an opportunity with as much to offer as this.
It's safe to say this role won't hang around for long so if anything here has piqued your interest, you know where we are...
