Head of Engineering – London | Hybrid.
NearTech is pleased to be working with a Series A funded start-up in the environment space. Having been established for 18-months, they’ve already seen good growth within their flagship data-driven technology hub and good growth with clients in the trade and import/export sphere. Having grown the team from the ground up to a team of 4, they’re now looking for a Head of Engineering to steer the team and work in tandem with the CEO as the company moves forward.
Within the role, you can expect to:
- Oversee the development and continued implementation of their product solution
- Lead and mentor a small engineering team, helping to foster a culture of natural curiosity, growth mindset, and driving excellence
- Work in tandem with business leaders to collaborate and align engineering efforts with business goals
- Recruit, onboard, and train new hires within the software team, helping to establish a QA function as well
- Manage project timelines, department budgets and resources until project delivery
The technical bit:
The company is, at its heart, data driven, using data tools such as Python, Snowflake, and accompanying data science stack. Their Engineering team compliments this, by using the following:
Python, Django, Fast API, JavaScript (React), RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, PyTest, Docker, Kubernetes.
Whilst the business does useAWS, they’d love for a candidate to be a real expert in it, withCI/CD, S3, RDS, EDS, EKS, Terraform.
Whilst this is a managerial role, due to the nature of the business, this role will be 50|50 hands on | hands off. Candidates applying should come from strong Python / Django coding backgrounds, and happy working in a 50|50 fashion.
