What you would do

Run and stabilize the current estate

* Lead a production team of 20+ engineers, testers, product and platform staff. * Set priorities, delivery cadence and metrics: velocity, quality, release predictability, cost per product line. * Keep a mission-critical on-premises estate secure, supported and compliant. * Run clear programme governance: every initiative has an owner, plan, budget and honest monthly reporting to the MD. * Own reliability: incident response, postmortems and support escalation, building a team that handles incidents without you.

Loading description…

We are hiring a CTO for one of our UK software businesses: an established company with a long track record and a leading share of its market.

The business has deep customer loyalty and a hard technology problem. It runs a large, mission-critical on-premises estate and is developing a new cloud platform, and it now has the backing to rebuild for the next 20 years. This CTO will lead that rebuild.

This role has two modes. With the established team running the existing products, you lead through managers and team leads; daily production coding is not expected, but you must be able to review architecture and step in to steer major incidents. In the small, elite squad rebuilding the platform, you will be more hands-on.

You will own all technology in the business: product engineering, QA, DevOps and cloud, data, and infrastructure.

* 8+ years in software engineering, including 4+ years leading teams. * Still hands-on enough to work inside a small, elite squad. * Personally, led a migration of paying customers from on premises to multi-tenant SaaS. * Strong Microsoft stack background: C#/.NET, SQL Server, Azure; able to assess legacy C++ and .NET Framework code. * Using AI development tools in your daily work is expected. You know how to get the most from them for yourself and your team, and can show the impact on delivery * Track record of hard calls: restructuring teams, stopping failing projects, managing R&D to a P&L. * Explains technical trade-offs clearly and rooted in commercial rationale.
