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.

- To have: 6+ years experience working with Java.
- Extensive experience of all aspects of the software development lifecycle.
- Experience developing cloud-native applications (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Experience defining testing strategies and applying test automation, ideally drawing on TDD or BDD.
- Experience implementing CI/CD practices such as git, branching, automated tests and automated deployment pipelines.
- Extensive experience working in an Agile team using Scrum or Kanban processes.
Personal qualities
- You’ll have a passion for delivering fantastic technology enabled products that deliver value to our clients
- You’ll be a great communicator and a collaborative team player – passionate about building great relationships with your colleagues and clients alike.
- You’ll be armed with initiative and will strive to solve problems yourself – Google’ing is half of the job!
- You’ll be comfortable using one or more programming languages and rolling your sleeves up when required.
- You’ll have a good understanding of services provided by the major public cloud vendors (AWS/Azure/GCP) and have built enterprise grade applications on one of these platforms before.
