Remote, United Kingdom

Our take: The real work here is leading a fullstack team that owns a customer-facing control panel end to end, setting technical direction and keeping large-scale distributed services reliable while growing the people who build them.

This is a job for an engineering leader who is happiest when the team is thriving, the architecture is sound, and the control panel just works for customers running at scale. You will set direction, be the final decision-maker, and dig into distributed systems while growing a diverse frontend, backend, and reliability crew. If you love owning a product end to end, keeping four-nines services healthy, and building an accountable culture where people do their best work, this fits.
