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 road-map forward. My client launched their award-winning, enterprise-scale SaaS platform under 5 years ago, and it has since revolutionised its industry, being utilised by some of the biggest companies and brand names in the world. They have grown quickly and made an impact in their market, now boasting millions of users.
They built the platform from scratch several years ago using absolutely no legacy code and only the very best technology stack and enterprise tools within a true Microservices environment. They have significantly grown their Engineering function and are proud to have a team of some of the most talented Software Engineers and Technologists in the UK. They show no signs of slowing down and are onboarding new customers consistently; due to this, we're looking for more Engineers to join them and play a key role in driving the platform forward.
You will be an expert at developing Microservices, and this is an ideal role for a NodeJS enthusiast who wants to lead a team of back-end engineers, steering the technical direction and roadmap. You'll pride yourself in building sophisticated, highly-scalable systems and solutions, and you should have experience in a proper Microservices environment.
Naturally, you'll be a solid JavaScript enthusiast, ideally with TypeScript knowledge, and be familiar with NoSQL databases (ideally MongoDB or ElasticSearch). A good understanding of AWS, ideally including CloudFormation, is also required. Advocacy of Agile methodologies is important, as they place a huge emphasis on Agile Delivery and Scrum.
You will be a true man-manager or mentor—someone 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. As an inspirational leader, you 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 should 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 and take it very seriously. They place a huge emphasis on delivery, so it is 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 organisations, this really isn't a role you want to miss out on. They have awesome offices here 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 super well and believe in giving their people a good work-life balance—offering very flexible working hours, early finishes on Fridays, company annual trips, and so much more!
Salary is up to £75,000 with more benefits. Want to hear more? Apply now for immediate consideration!
