Sanderson are working with an ambitious SportsTech organisation that is embarking on a major greenfield platform rebuild and is looking for a hands-on Technical Lead to drive the project from both a technical and delivery perspective.

This role will take ownership of rebuilding a large-scale legacy platform using a modern React and Node stack, leading a newly formed engineering team while remaining close to the code and technical decision making. The organisation is particularly interested in individuals who actively embrace AI-assisted development practices and modern engineering workflows, with a strong interest in how AI tooling can accelerate delivery and improve engineering quality.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the technical direction and architecture of a greenfield platform rebuild
  • Remain hands-on across both React frontend and Node backend development
  • Guide and mentor engineers within a newly formed product team
  • Drive engineering standards, code quality, and delivery practices
  • Collaborate closely with product, delivery, and leadership stakeholders
  • Contribute to system design, scalability, security, and platform performance
  • Champion modern development practices including AI-assisted engineering workflows
  • Support technical planning, estimation, and delivery execution

Skills & Experience

  • Strong commercial experience with React, TypeScript, and Node
  • Previous experience in a Technical Lead, Lead Engineer, or similar leadership role
  • Commercial experience using AI-assisted development tooling or integrating AI-driven features into products
  • Experience delivering greenfield products or large-scale platform rebuilds
  • Strong understanding of software architecture and modern engineering practices
  • Experience mentoring developers and leading collaborative engineering teams
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Experience with cloud platforms, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, or event-driven systems is beneficial

This is a full-time, permanent opportunity offering a salary up to £90,000 (DOE), with fully remote working.

If you're a hands-on Technical Lead looking for the opportunity to own and shape a modern platform rebuild within a forward-thinking SportsTech environment, this is an exciting opportunity to make a genuine impact.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
