About the job

At MECCA, our strategic priority is on innovation and digital acceleration to enable the best possible shopping experience for our customers and to ensure MECCA Brands is the ultimate Digital Destination!

The Role You Could Play

We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Technical Team Lead to lead one of our web squads and help shape how beauty meets technology at MECCA. Reporting to the Technical Director, you'll lead a team of three to four Software Engineers and work side by side with QA, a Designer and a Product Manager, as well as our wider Product, Architecture and Data partners.

This is a leadership role that stays close to the code. You'll mentor your engineers, contribute to technical design and delivery, and help the team understand the business problem and the customer need, so that together we deliver simple, effective solutions. As roles evolve with AI, that understanding of the customer and the business matters more than ever.

Our squad looks after a large, high-traffic retail website, which brings real release risk. You'll help the team understand and manage that risk and respond calmly and confidently when issues arise. You'll also help the team use AI-assisted development and agentic workflows responsibly, keeping quality, security and human accountability at the centre.

Day to day responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

  • Lead and mentor the engineers in your squad, building a team culture of ownership, craft and continuous learning.
  • Stay hands-on in development, contributing to solution design, architecture and complex delivery.
  • Work with the Product Manager, Designer and QA to help write clear requirements and technical designs.
  • Run technical spikes to test proposed solutions before the team commits to them.
  • Review pull requests, lead code reviews and pair with engineers to lift the quality of our work.
  • Define code quality standards and engineering best practices for the squad.
  • Improve the development lifecycle for moving code from development to production, including CI/CD, automated testing and frequent, low-risk releases.
  • Understand release risk and help the team respond effectively when production issues occur.
  • Drive improvements in performance, accessibility, SEO, security and reliability across our web experience.
  • Partner with Product, Architecture and Data to shape solutions that customers love.
  • Surface delivery risks, trade-offs and dependencies early, with the clarity and confidence that supports good decision-making.
  • Stay close to the industry, evaluating emerging tools, frameworks and practices (including AI) with a critical eye and a clear sense of when they add real value.

What You Will Bring

You are a leader who enjoys developing people and still loves building. You are friendly, open and collaborative, and you communicate clearly with engineers and non-engineers alike. You are curious, you keep your skills and knowledge current, and you're comfortable navigating complexity in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment. You think about the customer and the business problem first, and you bring a pragmatic, solution-focused approach to everything you do.

In addition, the successful candidate will also have the following skills and experience:

  • People leadership experience, including mentoring and developing engineers.
  • Strong, current hands-on engineering experience, with 8+ years building production-grade web applications and at least 3 years in a technical leadership role.
  • Experience defining and embedding a new workflow or way of working within a team.
  • A demonstrated habit of staying up to date with technology and applying it sensibly.
  • Experience maintaining a large, high-traffic website (retail or e-commerce experience is highly regarded) and an understanding of release risk.
  • Strong JavaScript and TypeScript experience, ideally across Next.js, React and GraphQL (Apollo). Our team is mainly built on these technologies, but we don't need an exact match for every tool in our stack.
  • Experience designing and developing backend services and APIs (REST and/or GraphQL), and working with relational and/or NoSQL databases.
  • Strong system design skills and a solid grounding in engineering best practices, including CI/CD, Git workflows and automated testing (unit, integration and E2E).
  • Experience with cloud-native environments, preferably AWS.
  • Knowledge of web performance, accessibility and SEO principles.

It would also be great if you have:

  • Practical experience applying AI across the software development lifecycle, such as AI-assisted development, testing, code review and agentic workflows, with clear guardrails and review standards.
  • Experience with .NET or C#-based backends.
  • Experience supporting mobile applications or React Native integrations.
  • Familiarity with serverless architectures, containers and infrastructure-as-code in AWS.

Your Life At MECCA

Whilst we are focused on our #CustomerFirst mantra, we know that wouldn't be possible without an incredible team that is guided by our MECCA values and motivated each and every day to be solutions focused, innovative, collaborative and adaptable, and have a bit of fun along the way!

Some of our other team member benefits include:

  • Professional development programs and first-class digitised learning offering
  • Health and well-being initiatives
  • Reward and recognition programs
  • Access to bonus and incentive programs
  • Access to quarterly product allowance
  • Generous discount to spoil yourselves and your immediate family, as well as a generous product allowance, subject to company policy

There are also so many other ways in which you'll be made to feel part of the MECCA story as we love to celebrate, surprise and delight our team along the way.

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.
