About the Company

This organisation builds high-accuracy digital representations of the physical world, combining large-scale imagery, advanced processing pipelines, and AI-driven analytics. Their technology powers everything from infrastructure planning to public safety, connectivity improvement, and environmental projects - basically helping major industries understand and manage the outside world without being on-site.

They operate end-to-end: proprietary capture systems, heavy data processing, and cloud-native platforms that expose this information through mature APIs and a visualisation tool used by thousands of professionals across Europe and North America.

If you enjoy engineering that deals with real-world complexity and massive datasets, this is one of the few places doing it at this scale.

The Role

They’re looking for a Team Lead – Backend Development to oversee the backend chapter, which currently spans two product-focused tribes. It’s a chapter-lead position (not functional team ownership), meaning your focus is on people development, engineering standards, and technical excellence rather than day-to-day delivery management. You will support people’s growth, and still contribute hands-on in a modern C#/.NET cloud environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

Technical Contribution (50%):

• Build and maintain backend services, APIs, and microservices using C#/.NET
• Work within Azure-based cloud environments, using Azure DevOps, AKS, and Infrastructure-as-Code
• Help with the ongoing shift toward Terraform and a more standardised IaC approach
• Work with distributed systems and multi-cluster setups
• Contribute to shaping patterns that will scale their cloud footprint globally (they’re currently one of the largest Azure adopters in Europe)

People & Chapter Leadership (50%):

• Line-manage backend engineers across multiple tribes
• Coach, mentor and support individual growth plans
• Run performance reviews and drive engineering excellence
• Foster a collaborative, inclusive chapter environment

Cross-Functional Work:

• Partner with product, DevOps, frontend and other chapter leads
• Align delivery priorities and technical direction

Strategic Input:

• Contribute to architectural discussions
• Influence chapter roadmap and capability growth
• Bring a bullish mindset when it comes to AI (huge plus)
• If you happen to be closer to Engineering Manager level, there’s a growing appetite for AI-first engineering leadership

Hiring & Onboarding:

• Support recruitment and integration of new team members

Continuous Improvement:

• Improve developer experience, workflows and system reliability
• Encourage documentation, internal talks, and peer learning

What You Bring

• 5+ years of backend development (C#/.NET)
• Some team-lead or line-management experience is required
• Strong communication skills, with potential to grow into Engineering Manager territory
• Solid experience with cloud-native systems (Azure, AKS, distributed systems)
• Understanding of IaC and Terraform is welcome
• Strong debugging skills for distributed architectures
• Agile experience (Scrum/Kanban)

What You Get

• An international team of 450+ colleagues
• Training, courses, coaching and room to grow
• Competitive salary + travel and home-working allowance
• 25 holidays (option to build to 35)
• A yearly Mental Health Day
• Sport subscription discount
• Fresh fruit, soup and salads
• Hybrid working for a healthy balance
• Company laptop
