Director of Software Engineering – Java – $73M funding

Do you have a background as a Java Engineer, with recent experience leading engineering teams?

Salt are recruiting for a Director of Software Engineering on behalf of a digital communications platform in London – they were spun out of a major American multinational investment bank 2 years ago and in that time they’ve raised $73M and grown to 176 employees – and they are just getting started!

As a Director of Software Engineering, you will be joining a technology team currently 46 people strong, working across 3 separate product offerings that supply into 29 markets as their global footprint quickly expands.

You will be overseeing 3 teams across the UK, Spain and Israel – 20 people in total. You will also be building a brand new team as they continue to expand.

Reporting to the CTO, your role is hugely integral to the future success of the organisation – you and your team will be driving the design, building and refactoring of mission critical, highly available cloud based systems and web apps serving global customers using Java/Spring Boot, Kotlin, SQL Server, AWS and more.

They are looking for someone who has 2+ years experience of building high performance teams, ideally ones that are multi-cultural and geo-distributed – if you’ve got experience in either the FinTech industry or fast growth startups, that would be an advantage but not essential.

They are paying upto £120,000 for this Director of Software Engineering role plus equity, bonus, matched pension upto 6%, healthcare/life insurance + 28 days holiday (plus bank holidays) and many others.

Their head offices are based in Central London – happy to offer flexible/remote working however.
