Lead Software Engineer

Lead Software Developer

If you are a Lead Software Developer hoping to sharpen their skills in a highly-technical environment or a Senior Engineer hoping to take the jump to lead, one of the leading British brands and a pioneer in CyberSec is hiring.

It's an opportunity to act as a player coach- gaining or building on previous leadership experience while staying hands on.

As a role the Lead Software Developer position lends itself to someone that wants to lead from the front- a technologist that wants the accountability and softer skill development of a lead role without sacrificing technical skills.

The person-

• We're searching for someone that either has broad technical exposure (.Net/Java/Python) or a specialism in backend language and a willingness to learn more technologies.
• You'll have experience either managing/leading teams or mentoring colleagues with an ambition to move into more leadership type roles.
• You're approachable, eager to teach and willing to learn- certifications demonstrating investment into your skills will show the team you are someone to invest in.
• 6+ Years experience developing software, but we are flexible.

The tech stack-

The tech stack is broad and you are not expected to have everything. The more you have is a plus but what you don't have is a challenge- you'll have opportunity to plug gaps you didn't know you had via learning and development.

The tech at the Lead Software Developer's disposal is:

• Java, .Net or Python
• Systems, e.g. Git
• CI/CD tools, such as Bamboo, Jenkins, Gitlab etc in order to streamline delivery of new features and fixes
• Automation Testing frameworks and tools (Selenium, Gherkin, Cucumber)
• Static code analysis tools e.g. SonarQube
• Team working inside an agile environment e.g. Scrum, Lean, Kanban
• Define and enforce coding standards, code reviews and development ways of working
• Common software design patterns
• Able to organise and plan work for development teams
• Passionate about developing and mentoring mid - junior engineers promoting continuous improvement
• Excellent client facing skills

Other fun bits

Being a lead role, you will find yourself moving into an empowering position where you will:

• Lead on the design/build of POC for some disruptive products.
• Define coding standards for the team and contribute to the teams culture by establishing ways of working.
• Contribute to the career and development of juior-mid engineers.
• Work alongside some of the UK's most prominent businesses shaping their approach to technology.

Salary and package.
