Tech Lead / Lead Developer £60,000 to £70,000 Central Glasgow, hybrid working, 1 to 2 days a week in the office Ready to lead, but not ready to stop building? A lot of "Tech Lead" roles are code for more meetings, more process, and less actual development. This isn't one of them. This is a chance to step into a hands-on leadership role with a financially strong SaaS product house, building software used across the UK public and private sector. Their platforms support real-world services at scale, and their Glasgow development hub is growing around modern engineering, not legacy chaos. If you enjoy setting direction, mentoring good people, and still being close to the code, this one is well worth a look. Your new role You'll provide technical direction to the team, support other developers day to day, and lead by example through hands-on development and problem solving. This is not about sitting on the sidelines pointing at diagrams. You'll still be properly involved in engineering, helping shape solutions, driving standards, and making sure the team is building well. You'll be working on modern product development across TypeScript, AWS CDK, microservices, and mobile/web front ends, so this suits someone who likes depth, but also enjoys seeing the bigger picture. You'll have the chance to influence how things are built, not just deliver tickets someone else has already defined. Why this one stands out There's a big difference between joining a business that says it takes engineering seriously, and joining one that actually proves it. Here, the development team is based in a central Glasgow office, and they currently have 4 developers seconded in from AWS. So alongside your own leadership remit, you'll also be working in an environment where cloud best practice, modern architecture and strong engineering habits are being reinforced by people who live and breathe AWS. That is a massive selling point. For the right person, this is the kind of role that sharpens both your technical leadership and your cloud capability at the same time. You're also joining a product-led business with established customers, a strong market position and the financial stability to invest properly. So you get the mix a lot of developers want but don't often find: meaningful product work, solid backing, and a leadership role with real influence. The organisation You'd be joining a SaaS product business whose software supports major organisations across the UK public and private sector. They're already trusted in high-volume, business-critical environments, and they've built a strong development base in Glasgow. It's collaborative, fast-paced and product focused, with the kind of roadmap that gives good engineers plenty to get their teeth into. This is a team that values people who think for themselves, bring ideas, and care about building things properly. What you'll bring You'll need strong commercial experience with TypeScript and AWS, plus solid infrastructure as code capability. If you've worked with AWS CDK and microservice architecture, even better. You've probably already operated as a senior engineer, lead developer or tech lead in a modern product environment, and you'll be comfortable giving technical direction, supporting other developers and raising the bar without becoming a blocker. You do not need to be the loudest person in the room. But you do need enough technical credibility to earn trust, enough judgement to make good calls, and enough maturity to help others improve around you. This will suit someone who still enjoys being hands-on, but wants more ownership, more influence and more scope to shape how the team works. It probably won't suit someone who wants a fully remote role, or someone who wants leadership in title only without the technical depth underneath it. Interested? You do not need a perfect CV to have a conversation. If this feels like the right sort of step up, give me a shout and we can talk it through properly. Please drop me an email - simon com
