🎯 Focus: Internal Developer Platform · AI-Native Engineering Transformation · Engineering Quality & Reliability

About Tech at Bloom & Wild Group 🌸

We're Europe's largest direct-to-consumer flower and gifting business: home to Bloom & Wild, bloomon and Bergamotte. Our 65+ person Tech team builds the software that powers our e-commerce, production and fulfilment: five cross-functional Product Engineering squads, backed by Developer Experience, Domain Engineering, Data and IT.

The Role

  • Platform Strategy: owning the DevEx roadmap and our internal developer platform as a product.
  • AI-Native Transformation: leading on our DevEx AI roadmap and driving AI enablement across Product & Technology.
  • Team Leadership: line-managing and growing the DevEx engineering team.
  • Paved Road & Platform: Own our internal developer platform as a product, making it easy for every engineer to do the right thing at speed, safely and to a high bar of quality.
  • AI-Native Transformation: Lead how we adopt agentic tooling across the org, bridging senior leadership's AI ambitions with technical reality so our roadmap stays ambitious but grounded in data.
  • Quality & Incidents: Raise the bar on CI/CD, test tooling and operational health (SLOs, DORA metrics), and own production incidents that cross domain boundaries.
  • Team Leadership: Line-manage and develop engineers across Platform and Quality Engineering, coaching other managers and shaping how DevEx recruits.
  • Partnerships & Cost: Partner with our Lead DevSecOps Engineer and manage infrastructure costs and supplier relationships across AWS, GCP and our tooling vendors.

What We're Looking For

  • Platform Leadership: Demonstrable experience leading a platform, DevEx or infrastructure team, with strong AWS knowledge (ECS Fargate, S3, RDS, Lambda, EventBridge/SNS/SQS) and hands-on Terraform experience.
  • CI/CD & Observability: Hands-on with GitHub Actions, Terraform Cloud and Cloudflare, and comfortable using observability tools to pinpoint performance and reliability issues.
  • AI Fluency: specifically with agentic coding tools (like Claude Code or Cursor), and able to translate that into a roadmap grounded in data for senior stakeholders.
  • People Growth: A track record of developing engineers at all levels and coaching other managers.
  • Cross-Squad Ownership: Comfortable taking on work that spans multiple domains, whether that's working with senior leadership or pairing with an engineer on a complex platform problem.

Perks & Benefits

  • ✨ Flexibility: Core hours (10–4pm), flexible working, and Work Abroad for up to 45 days a year.
  • 🌴 Time Off: 25 days holiday + your birthday + flexible bank holidays (option to buy more), plus 1 volunteering day a year.
  • 🌱 Growth & Rewards: Equity from day 1, enhanced family leave & a workplace nursery scheme, a flexible training framework, and irresistible product discounts.

How We Hire

  • 2-Min Application
  • Chat with our Talent Acquisition Manager (Chloe) about the role and your background
  • Interview with our Engineering Director to dive into your experience in more depth
  • Technical & leadership assessment with some of our engineers
  • Final chat with our Chief Product & Technology Officer

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
