It is the kind of environment where the right person can have a tangible impact from day one. \n What experience does the Technical Director need? \n\n • \n Solid grounding in C# and .NET, with enough technical fluency to engage meaningfully with engineers, evaluate architectural options, and make informed decisions, without needing to be writing production code daily \n • \n A background in engineering leadership or a senior technical lead position, with demonstrable experience developing people and steering technical teams toward a shared goal \n • \n Comfortable holding a breadth of responsibilities, across platform, infrastructure, delivery, and people functions \n • \n A background such as Development Lead, Technical Lead, or a hands-on senior role with growing people responsibility \n\n Benefits \n\n • \n Salary between £100,000 and £120,000 \n • \n A seat at the leadership table with direct influence over company-wide technology decisions \n • \n Room to genuinely shape and build a technology function rather than inherit a fixed one \n\n So What's Next? \n If you are a Technical Director and would like to learn more, please apply below and I will be in touch with you shortly to discuss the role further. \n Technical Director, C#, .NET, Platform Strategy, COR7634 \n Corriculo Ltd acts as an employment agency and an employment business.
