Job Description
As a Lead Software Engineer, you'll be leading Agile software development teams to deliver great technical outcomes for our clients. You'll help steer the direction of projects with your ability to make pragmatic design decisions that deliver value to our clients whilst still adhering to best practices. You know what good looks like from an architectural best practice sense and understand the importance of a robust path to production and why adopting a DevOps culture in your teams is important. Whilst not necessarily the top contributor on Stack Overflow, you're a solid coder in your chosen stack and are not afraid to pick up new programming languages or technologies. You're comfortable in client situations and at articulating technical problems to non-technical people. You may have a team of people to support, be leading a development team, or else you could be working across multiple teams, providing some centralised expertise necessary for a larger programme of work.
Our Lead Software Engineers:
- Lead by example, applying best practice Agile and DevOps principles.
