Lead Engineer
Sadler Recruitment Ltd
Lead Engineer
We're recruiting for an experienced engineer to take ownership of a cloud architecture that underpins a growing SaaS product used by thousands of customers. This role combines hands-on engineering with architectural leadership. You'll guide technical direction, redesign core AWS infrastructure, and ensure systems are secure, scalable, and well-governed. The position is not a management role in the traditional sense. The focus is on technical leadership through design decisions, problem-solving, and hands-on contribution.
Key Responsibilities
- Re-architect and improve an established AWS environment, addressing scalability, security, and governance.
- Design and implement distributed systems, APIs, and data pipelines focused on reliability and maintainability.
- Work hands-on with infrastructure-as-code and application development (~50% hands-on).
- Evaluate technical approaches and run proofs of concept to inform architecture decisions.
- Support and mentor engineers within the team, encouraging sound engineering practices.
- Define and evolve architectural standards and contribute to the roadmap for the wider technology function.
Experience Required
- Proven experience designing and maintaining AWS-based architectures (networking, IAM, security, automation, and monitoring).
- A background in a modern programming language such as Node.js, C#, or Java (the current stack uses Serverless, Node.js, and React).
- Sound knowledge of SQL and experience with NoSQL and data pipelines.
- Understanding of distributed systems, serverless computing, and modern cloud-native patterns.
- Ability to think through complex technical challenges and communicate design choices clearly.
- AWS qualifications are distinctly advantageous.
Preferred Background
- AWS Solutions Architect
- Senior Software Engineer
- Lead DevOps Engineer
- Senior Data Engineer with strong AWS skills
- Technical Lead in a SaaS or product-focused environment
Why Join
- Opportunity to influence and define how AWS architecture evolves.
- Work across a modern, serverless-first technology stack.
- Exposure to a range of technical challenges at scale.
- Remote-first culture with occasional on-site collaboration in Cardiff.
- Stable environment focused on improvement, not firefighting.
Hours: Monday-Friday, full-time
Environment: Remote-first, collaborative, technically mature
