Hometrack’s market-leading property data sets, valuation models, and risk insights are delivered via our suite of B2B SaaS applications for mortgage lenders, brokers, and more. We’ve led the market for over twenty years!

Our services are mission-critical to the UK’s top banks, automating their mortgage offers. They’re used daily by home builders, mortgage brokers, local councils, and more to make informed property purchasing decisions. We have an exciting strategy to serve an even wider section of the market, with innovative products and services.

The Director of Product Engineering will provide senior technology leadership for Hometrack’s key product lines, owning the technical strategy, delivery oversight, and evolution, providing a highly utilised and relied upon set of capabilities for clients.

This role will lead an established set of teams as they evolve and support our existing capabilities to scale and meet developing client needs. The Director of Product Engineering will collaborate closely with Product peers and wider business stakeholders to shape the long‑term roadmap, ensure robust technical foundations, and guide our continued growth.

Delivery & Execution

  • Provide senior oversight of existing product engineering teams, ensuring delivery remains on track as the products evolve and new products are introduced.
  • Ensure strong engineering fundamentals, including resilience, scalability, security, and operational readiness, appropriate for an institution supporting banks and other major lenders.
  • Support the evolution of a highly utilised set of capabilities as they scale to meet future client needs.

Technology & Architecture

  • Guide architectural decisions in partnership with technical peers (Principal/Staff Engineers).
  • Act as a key contributor in setting our technology direction

People & Leadership

  • Lead and develop engineers and engineering managers (software and data).
  • Set clear expectations, provide coaching, and build a culture of ownership, learning, and delivery.

What We’re Looking For

Essential Experience

  • Senior technology leadership experience (Head of/Director or equivalent) preferably within or adjacent to financial services.
  • Demonstrable experience owning and evolving complex platforms, preferably in a high availability environment.
  • Proven ability to partner effectively with Product leadership to shape and deliver long‑term strategy.
  • Strong fundamental background in software engineering (.Net/AWS/Azure)

Beneficial Experience

  • Experience of evolving team working practices towards increasingly agentic SDLCs
  • Experience managing and leading data engineering teams

Leadership & Behaviours

  • Pragmatic and outcome‑focused, with sound judgement to balance speed, risk, and long‑term value.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and guiding teams through an evolving domain.

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.
