About Us

Telfer Digital is a London-based Martech company delivering high-performance digital platforms, bespoke software solutions, and data-driven marketing strategies for clients in the built environment sector, including construction, logistics, machinery and real estate.

We combine strategic thinking, creative expertise and technical delivery to solve complex challenges and unlock growth for ambitious businesses.

As Head of Technology, you will lead the architecture, infrastructure and execution of all digital products, from custom-built platforms and internal tools to SaaS environments and AI-integrated web applications.

This is a leadership role, not a hands-on coding position, but you must bring deep technical expertise, a strong understanding of modern development workflows and the ability to oversee high-quality delivery. You will manage a growing team of developers and play a central role in transforming how we build and scale software across the business.

Set technical standards, maintain development documentation and oversee code quality

Provide architectural guidance and unblock development challenges where needed

Collaborate with project managers, designers and account teams to deliver exceptional digital products

Build and lead a growing development function, both in-house and externally supported

Tech Environment

Backend: Node.js, scalable architecture, API integrations, Python (nice to have)

Frameworks: Laravel and other modern backend systems

Infrastructure: Cloud hosting environments (white-labelled), CDN, DNS, SFTP/FTP, deployment workflows

DevOps: GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, Docker (bonus), version control

AI tools: Replit, Mutable, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and a general drive to automate and optimise development wherever possible

What We Are Looking For

Proven experience in a senior technical role such as Head of Development, Technical Lead or Engineering Manager

Strong full-stack knowledge and technical credibility, even if you are no longer coding daily

Deep understanding of scalable architecture and cloud infrastructure

Passion for innovation and automation, especially using AI-assisted development

Confident leadership and communication skills, able to manage developers and influence stakeholders

London-based and available to work in our Moorgate office four days a week

Why Join Telfer Digital

This is a unique opportunity to lead the technical direction of an ambitious and fast-growing Martech company. You will be trusted to define how we build and deliver software, while working alongside a talented and driven team.

We work on impactful, technically challenging projects with ambitious clients across a wide range of industries. You will have real autonomy, a seat at the leadership table, and the chance to shape the future of our technology offering.
