Remote-first with occasional visits to Hemel Hempstead or on Park
Are you an experienced software engineering leader passionate about AI-enabled ways of working? If so, we want to hear from you! Haven is looking for a Lead Engineer to join our growing Technology team, taking joint ownership of the direction and output of a delivery squad alongside a Product Manager and UX Designer.
You'll set the technical direction, define the architecture, and be the key technical contact for squad stakeholders and the wider business. You'll shape how the squad adopts and continually improves AI-enabled engineering practices, ensuring work is well-structured, appropriately supported, and delivered to a high standard of quality, security, reliability, and maintainability.
This is a strongly hands-on role suited to a technical leader who thrives on building capable teams, coaching engineers, and staying close to the code. Typically you'll spend around 80% of your time hands-on in smaller teams (and 60% in larger ones), balancing leadership, mentoring, and stakeholder engagement across the software delivery lifecycle. You will also commit to being part of our Engineering Lead community, actively contributing to developing the overall engineering standards across Haven, discussing and solving architectural challenges and providing peer support as appropriate.
Haven is the UK's leading holiday operator, welcoming around 4 million guests every year to our 38 parks and 3 exclusive owners-only sites. From Scotland to Cornwall, Norfolk to Wales, our parks are dotted along some of the most breath-taking parts of the great British coastline.
A career here is more than just a job. We're one great team of up to 12,500 during peak season, united by a passion for creating experiences and memories that last a lifetime — for guests, owners and each other. It's what we call our Breath of Fresh Air culture: valuing and supporting every team member to be their authentic self and putting people at the heart of every decision we make.
This role is remote-first. You'll be based from home most of the time, with occasional visits to our Hemel Hempstead head office or Haven parks — typically around three days on Park per quarter — for team collaboration, workshops and external events.
