Head of Data Engineering

Ada Meher is proud to be partnering with a scaling SME (Bristol & London) looking to hire aHead of Software Engineeringto help them drive innovation and growth in their technical team.

Role:

Head of Engineering

Location: Bristol/London bi-weekly (Hybrid Remote)

Salary: £110-130k DOE

Headline Benefits:

  • B Corp
  • Remote Working
  • 30+ Holiday days
  • Flexible Hours

You’ll be leading a team of 7 working on the architecture, delivery, and development of new features for their flagship product, including working with the CTO on strategy and roadmap development. The company is a SaaS that allows brands to manage online communities to grow revenue at scale.

Essential Experience:

  1. Experience growing engineering teams multiple times (ideally through Series A/B/C)
  2. Experience leading a small Engineering team (5-10)
  3. B2B2C SaaS experience
  4. Experience working in SaaS
  5. Knowledge of AWS and Infrastructure / Artificial Intelligence (AI) would be a benefit
  6. Knowledge of security implementation (ISO27001)
  7. Strong experience with JavaScript/Typescript Engineering (MEAN/MERN preferred)
  8. Bonus – high-level achievements outside of work (ie sports/music)

Position:

The current tech stack is MEAN-focused with AI-based components and serverless AWS deployments, so the ideal candidate will have a strong JavaScript/Typescript background with some knowledge or interest in cloud deployments and artificial intelligence. The role will involve a split of both hands-on and hands-off work so applicants should be comfortable with the stack and also leading code reviews, mentoring, and assigning project resources.

As a B-Corp business, our client has a strong focus on social responsibility and the well-being of their employees. Because of this, you can expect over 30 days of holiday a year (plus bank holidays!) as well as a flexible employer that truly cares. An ideal candidate will look for a blend of technical leadership and hands-on work, interested in joining a company as they scale. The company has flexibility at the core of its employee offering, allowing employees to get their work delivered at a time and place that suits them.

Culture:

Whether it be that you need a few hours in the middle of the day for an appointment or to work abroad for a couple of weeks - their flexible approach empowers individuals to work their job around their life, not the other way around. That said, you can expect to meet up with the rest of the tech team once or twice a month in Bristol and the whole business once a quarter in London – so flexibility for some level of travel or locality will be necessary!

When it comes to job hunting in artificial intelligence (AI), most candidates head straight to traditional job boards, LinkedIn, or recruitment agencies. But what if there was a better way to find roles that aren’t advertised publicly? What if you could access hidden job leads, gain inside knowledge, or get referred by people already in the field? That’s where professional bodies and specialist AI communities come in. In this article, we’ll explore how UK-based organisations like BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), IET (The Institution of Engineering and Technology), and the Turing Society can help you uncover AI job opportunities you won’t find elsewhere. We'll show you how to strategically use their directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) events to elevate your career and expand your AI job search in ways most job seekers overlook.
