I'm looking for a Lead Software Engineer to lead an incredibly talented team of Engineers while taking the reins on all things Back-End focused and driving their technical roadmap forward.
My client launched their award-winning, enterprise-scale SaaS platform under 5 years ago, which has since revolutionized its industry and is utilized by some of the biggest companies and brand names in the world. They have grown quickly and made a significant impact in their market, now boasting millions of users.
They built the platform from scratch several years ago using no legacy code and only the best technology stack and enterprise tools within a true Microservices environment. They have significantly expanded their Engineering function and are proud to have some of the most talented Software Engineers and Technologists in the UK.
They show no signs of slowing down, onboarding new customers consistently, and due to this, we're looking for more Engineers to join them and play a key role in driving the platform forward and its evolution.
You will be an expert at developing Microservices, making this an ideal role for a NodeJS enthusiast who wants to lead a team of back-end engineers while steering technical direction/roadmap. You'll pride yourself on building sophisticated, highly-scalable systems and solutions, having worked within a proper Microservices environment. This is a true back-end role where you will have knowledge of GraphQL, asynchronous messaging, and data formats like JSON.
Naturally, you'll be a solid JavaScript enthusiast, ideally with TypeScript knowledge, and be familiar with NoSQL databases (ideally MongoDB or ElasticSearch) while having a good understanding of AWS, ideally including CloudFormation. Advocating for Agile is essential, as these guys are strong proponents of Agile Delivery and Scrum, so it's important that you share a similar mindset and appreciate continuous integration and deployment.
You'll be a true man-manager or mentor—one who leads by example and knows how to get the best out of your teams. You will provide support, leadership, and oversight to your back-end team, ensuring projects are delivered to the highest standards. You will be an inspirational leader—someone who can provide tech leadership and evolve best practices within your team.
You will be responsible for the personal development of your Engineers, ensuring they have personal development plans in place, allowing them to flourish and mature their tech skills. Therefore, you will have a proven track record in managing, mentoring, or leading Software Engineers to success.
This is a great chance to join a firm that does things the right way. They absolutely do NOT compromise on quality—they take it very seriously. They place a huge emphasis on delivery, so it's critical we find someone that shares and owns this mindset.
If you want to work on Enterprise-Scale software in a true Microservices environment developing software for some huge organizations, this is a role you won't want to miss out on.
They have awesome offices in Nottingham, so we’d like you to be open to working on-site if needed, but it's not a dealbreaker. They treat their staff very well and believe in providing a good work-life balance—offering flexible working hours, early finishes on Fridays, company annual trips, and more!
Salary is up to £75,000 with more benefits. Want to hear more? Call Laura at (phone number removed) for immediate consideration.
