[Hiring] Development Team Lead @Kyckr

Role Description

This is a remote position. This is a UK Based remote role, you must have the right to work in the UK.

Kyckr is a fast-scaling SaaS and data company transforming how financial crime teams verify businesses. We give regulated institutions, including banks, fintechs, law firms and payment providers, access to legally authoritative company data from 300+ corporate registries across 120 countries. Our customers use Kyckr to power their Know Your Business (KYB) and AML workflows, helping them onboard customers, assess risk and maintain ongoing compliance with confidence.

After a year of record growth, we are investing in our engineering team to accelerate delivery of our next-generation Registry Hub architecture. We are looking for a Development Team Lead to lead a small team of four developers while remaining a hands-on senior engineer. This is a player-coach role: we anticipate roughly an 80/20 split between writing code and leading the team.

You will be one of our most senior technical contributors — setting the standard for code quality, design, and AI-assisted ways of working — at the same time as owning the line management and career development of your team.

• Agentic AI for coding: driving the adoption of Claude Code and agentic development and QA workflows.
