Lead Java Engineer

We work with some of the UK's biggest companies and government departments to provide a pragmatic approach to technology, delivering bespoke software solutions and expert advice.

This is a hands-on, client-facing role, offering the opportunity to lead teams through the full development lifecycle. We'll offer you real autonomy, alongside the opportunity to broaden your knowledge and diversify your experience.

You will typically be leading a small, tight-knit multidisciplinary team, solving tough software problems. You'll foster client relationships, advising clients who are making key technology and software delivery decisions. There's plenty of opportunity to contribute more widely across Scott Logic, collaborating and sharing knowledge with colleagues, and to be involved in shaping consultancy engagements.

We're looking for passionate, proactive technologists. We are technology agnostic and use the right language, tooling and frameworks for the job. That means we're open minded when it comes to your existing skillset, but we value the following:

• Strong technical leadership experience, understanding what makes a team successful and how to support colleagues in their own career development
• Experience working in the financial/banking industry.
• You're a problem-solver, pragmatically exploring options and finding effective solutions.
• An understanding of how to design and build well-structured, maintainable systems.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to work.
• You embrace the chance to try new things, learn new skills and grow your experience.

• 25 days' annual leave, rising to 30 days with each year of service.
• Generous family leave policies.
• Access to an employer pension scheme, private medical services and Group Life Assurance.
• A range of optional benefits such as discounted gym membership and a cycle-to-work scheme.
• A meaningful approach to evaluating your performance and providing feedback on your progress.

At Scott Logic, we value the flexibility of remote working alongside the value gained from spending time with our colleagues and clients. In our offices you'll find employee-led clubs and events, as well as free games, books, and refreshments.
