Lead the engineering standards behind a High-Growth UK SaaS platform
Software Development Manager
NestJS / NodeJS, VueJS: .NET backgrounds welcome
Leading a team of AI driven developers
Hybrid / remote working
Up to £100,000 + benefits
If you're a technically strong engineering leader who built your career on solid engineering foundations (whether in C# / .NET or modern JavaScript frameworks) and still care deeply about code quality, DevOps maturity, and scalable systems, this is a genuinely exciting opportunity.
We're partnered with a high-growth UK SaaS technology company building data-driven digital products that help commercial teams better understand and engage their customers. As they scale their customer-facing platforms, they're looking for an experienced Software Development Manager to shape engineering standards and lead the next phase of platform evolution.
The Tech Environment
The company's stack has evolved. Originally built on a Microsoft / C# / .NET foundation, the platform has transitioned to a more modern stack including: NestJS / NodeJS, Vue, Redis, SQL Server, Snowflake.
They are open to candidates from a strong .NET background who have since gained experience in modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems. Or who can demonstrate the adaptability and technical depth to operate in this environment.
What matters most is engineering quality, architectural thinking, and leadership credibility, not a rigid checklist of frameworks.
You'll balance people leadership, technical direction, and delivery performance, ensuring teams build maintainable, secure, and high-performing systems.
What We're Looking For
Significant experience in a SaaS or product-led environment
Strong previous experience as a hands-on software engineer (C#/.NET or modern JS/TS stacks)
Proven leadership of engineering teams using AI
Experience building and operating systems at scale
A solid understanding of automated testing and QA practices
Familiarity with modern DevOps approaches
Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills
The ability to quickly pick up new tools and solve complex problems
Interested?
If you're a strong engineering leader who wants to influence platform direction without stepping away from technical depth, this role offers real impact in a growing SaaS business.
