Engineering Lead | Content Management Systems (CMS) | AI-Enabled Engineering | Hybrid (1 day per week into Cardiff) | £70,000-£75,000 + benefits

Method Resourcing have partnered exclusively with a global organisation looking to hire a Software Development Manager into a growing team delivering innovative, enterprise-scale technology.

This role has been created to bring structure, technical leadership, and modern engineering practices into a team working across AI-enabled development and composable CMS architecture. The focus is on building high-quality, scalable solutions while shaping a collaborative and transparent engineering culture.

This is a leadership-first role, but not a distant one. They're looking for someone who can lead engineers, support product managers, and stay close enough to the code to challenge decisions, unblock delivery, and guide teams effectively.

The role:As Software Development Manager, you'll take ownership of an evolving engineering function. You'll work closely with existing contractors to support knowledge transfer, while defining standards, ways of working, and culture for the future permanent team.

You'll also play a key role in AI-driven development - reviewing AI-generated code, assessing quality and risks, and understanding how AI can be applied responsibly within enterprise systems. The technical environment centres around a composable, API-driven CMS, fully decoupled from the frontend and delivered via APIs with caching to keep applications platform-agnostic.

You'll manage a small team of four engineers initially, with responsibility for recruiting and onboarding additional permanent hires as the team grows.

What my client is looking for:

  • Strong understanding of composable CMS and API-driven content delivery (Sanity, Sitecore, or similar) - essential
  • Experience leading and managing software engineers in a commercial environment
  • Strong knowledge of modern engineering practices including cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP), CI/CD, DevOps, observability, security and reliability
  • Full-stack technical fluency with experience in modern web development (JavaScript, React, Angular, Node.js or similar)
  • Hands-on engineering background with the ability to support technical challenges when required
  • Experience working with or around AI-enabled development, including code quality, standards, and risk awareness
  • Confident communicator able to translate technical detail for product, stakeholders, and senior leadership
  • Comfortable building teams and shaping engineering culture from the ground up

Candidates don't need to tick every box - there's openness to upskilling where the fundamentals and mindset are right.

Benefits include:

  • 10% employer pension contribution
  • 25 days annual leave plus public holidays
  • Life assurance at 4× annual salary
  • Flexi-time
  • Paid volunteering leave
  • Strong continuous professional development support - 100% funding up to $2,800 per year & 75% funding up to $5,000 per year
  • Flexible benefits allowance of 1.5% of salary
  • Health and wellbeing schemes
  • Cashback and retail discounts
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Free on-site car parking

Working pattern:Hybrid role with around 1 day per week in the central Cardiff office.

If this sounds of interest, please apply or contact for more information.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
