The Role We're hiring a Team Lead to lead one of our emerging product engineering squads. For candidates with relevant experience and interest, this role can immediately incorporate people management responsibilities. As the team lead you'll be accountable for your squad's architectural decisions and delivery outcomes, working closely with Data Science, Product and Design to translate requirements into well-scoped technical work. You'll stay deeply hands-on - unblocking team members through code review, technical guidance, and direct contribution. And you'll mentor engineers in your squad, helping them grow their technical judgment and skills. You will be accountable for how your squad builds: the architecture, the standards, the quality. You'll make decisions that balance immediate delivery and commercial objectives with long-term system health, and coordinate with other Tech Leads to ensure consistency across the platform. If you have the background, you’ll also take up people management responsibilities for some of the engineers, supporting their growth and development. We're building toward a layered vision of grid analytics, optimisation engines, and agentic workflows. You'll be responsible for leading a team that delivers key parts of it.
