If you're hiring for software engineering leadership positions, you should drop everything you're doing and contact these people below right now. I've worked with them at ASOS.com, and they're some of the very best I've worked with in 20+ years.
• Rupesh G.: Head of Engineering, and previously Principal Web Engineer. He's super skilled, very humble and kind, extremely detailed and even too much dedicated! I could continue, but you get the picture. It's really a rare combination of qualities, which makes him great both at dealing with highly technical topics as well as dealing with people in a leadership position!
• Christopher Hart: Director of Engineering and Customer Experience, and previously Head of Web Engineering. Great manager, very sharp and smart, patient and always cool. Can't think of anyone better to handle a crisis or to carefully plan a strategy to grow your engineering team and your product.
• Ben Taylor: Head of Marketing Tech. Really a manager that understands tech and that is very comfortable talking to C-level people, negotiating (and roasting) external suppliers and partners, as well as talking to engineers and not only understand them well but even give valuable inputs and ideas. If you need leadership in this space, he's your guy.
• Giovanni Puntil: Lead Web Engineer. He has a very positive can-do attitude, and is a pleasure to work with, both for managers and engineers in his team. And of course having worked on large websites as a lead, with modern Web tech, he has tons of technical skills to offer.
• Ben Schofield: Engineering Manager. He was loved by the teams and the platforms he managed, and always worked very positively with all the project stakeholders. Super approachable, open to discussions, and overall nice guy to work with.
They're only available now following the unexpected and sudden news that MATCHES went into administration -- awful news for all the impacted people, but a great opportunity for you. I can guarantee you'd want to thank me for the suggestion.
