About the Role

NquiringMinds builds trusted data and AI products used in some of the most demanding environments: cyber security, defence, healthcare analytics and local-government data platforms. As Engineering Director you will lead the engineering organisation behind those products — owning technical strategy, delivery quality and the growth of the team, and working alongside the CTO and product leadership to ship dependable, commercially successful software.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and grow the engineering team across the product portfolio
• Own technical delivery: architecture, quality, security and timelines across concurrent product streams
• Set engineering standards and practices — secure development, CI/CD, testing and documentation
• Drive the product roadmap with product management, balancing new features, platform investment and customer deliveries
• Work with commercial leadership to translate customer requirements into delivery plans
• Hire, mentor and develop engineers, building clear progression within the team
• Stay hands-on enough to review designs and unblock the hard problems

Why NquiringMinds?

• Work on meaningful problems: trusted AI, secure data sharing and cyber security with real-world deployments
• Senior leadership role with genuine ownership of technical direction
• Southampton base with a collaborative, engineering-led culture
• Competitive package and support for professional development
