I am looking to add a Lead C++ Developer to lead a talented team of software and test engineers to develop, implement and maintain safety-critical systems within a business that has grown by 70% in the last two years.
They pride themselves on being an inclusive employer; interestingly, over 50% of the senior leadership team are female.
The Business
They work on innovations designed to save lives, improve accessibility, and meet other critical industry needs. This is really interesting work and a great opportunity to put your stamp on! There is also the opportunity to become actively involved in future product developments and the growth of the team.
Professional development is a high priority for them, so they invest in their team by offering paid professional qualifications!
The Role of a Lead C++ Developer
You'll be responsible for leading, mentoring, and managing a team of software and test engineers. It's important that you encourage a collaborative and innovative team environment by driving continuous improvement in software development practices and ensuring the team adheres to development best practices and company policies. You'll still be pretty hands-on, getting involved with the coding side of the role with your team.
Manage software development projects from inception to delivery, ensuring they are completed on time and within budget. Effectively manage projects by coordinating with stakeholders to gather requirements and provide regular updates, ensuring clear communication and alignment throughout the project lifecycle.
