People are living longer, and we’re excited by the opportunities this brings to help people live their best lives. We’re here for everyone who wants to make the most of their time on the planet and leave it a little better than they found it – however grand or humble their ambitions.

We help people live their best lives . We help them with the big stuff, for the moments that matter: Pensions, Savings, Investments. At Aegon, we strive in creating a diverse organisation that plays a meaningful role in driving greater equity, inclusion and belonging.

Technology is at the heart of what we do. We’re on an exciting journey to modernise how we work – upgrading our systems, boosting our data and engineering capabilities and driving innovation. That means combining cutting-edge digital and cloud solutions with our platforms.

We’ve got opportunities for Technology Leads to join our team. As a Technology Lead, you’ll drive engineering standards and delivery across established teams, ensuring they build and run high-quality software that meets customer and business needs. You’ll shape how information flows through our teams, improve processes and guide technical decisions to enable better outcomes.

We’re hiring across several teams, each working with different modern technologies. Depending on the role, you could be working with a mix of .NET, C#, Angular, Java, AWS and Python.

You will manage demand, oversee development and support architectural changes – while ensuring teams operate with autonomy and within governance frameworks. This role often spans multiple teams, requiring strong leadership and influencing skills to align delivery across a complex environment.

Key Responsibilities include:

• Bringing together cross-functional teams – aligning engineers, analysts, architects, and other specialists to deliver high-quality solutions. Your leadership will ensure collaboration, technical excellence and a shared focus on outcomes
• Lead technical planning, estimation and delivery across multiple initiatives
• Own service quality – ensuring performance, resilience, and tech debt reduction
• Manage defects and issues to maintain system stability and reliability
• Oversee work intake, backlog prioritisation and delivery flow
• Evidenced knowledge and experience of hands-on development, architecture and automation – although this role isn’t hands-on
• Monitor development costs and drive technical efficiency (e.g. cloud spend)
