Location: East Kilbride, Scotland (hybrid working)
Salary: Up to £60,000 per annum DOE + Benefits
The Opportunity:
If you’re a Technical Lead or Senior Developer ready to step into a role where you can shape architecture, mentor engineers and build modern cloud-native platforms used at scale across the UK, this is a brilliant opportunity!
As a Technical Lead, you’ll be joining an established, successful business who are now expanding into new products and markets. This is a chance to take real ownership of technical direction while remaining hands‑on, working with a modern stack across TypeScript, AWS and microservices.
This is an environment where your ideas will be heard, your technical leadership will make an impact, and your growth will be actively supported.
Why This Role Stands Out:
* Salary up to £60,000 per annum (may be slightly negotiable depending on experience)
* Annual salary reviews with regular market benchmarking
* Hybrid working – 1 day per week remote from home
* 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
* Pension scheme with employer contribution and matched enhancements
* Health Cash Plan including 24/7 GP access, dental and optical cover
* Death in Service cover (4x salary)
* Employee Assistance Programme
* Discretionary bonus
* Comfortable, modern open‑plan office
* Team and company social events
* Autonomy, trust and long‑term career progression
* Structured training and development opportunities to help you grow
* Supportive, team‑focused culture that values your ideas and achievements
What the Technical Lead Will Do:
As a Technical Lead, you’ll play a key role in shaping and delivering high‑quality, scalable software solutions while supporting and mentoring the wider engineering team.
* Provide technical leadership across design, development and delivery
* Remain hands‑on, contributing to development and solving complex problems
* Drive architectural decisions and promote best practices across the team
* Champion code quality, testing, security and performance
* Lead the development of cloud‑native, microservices‑based solutions
* Mentor and support developers, encouraging knowledge sharing and growth
* Collaborate with Product, Architecture and DevOps teams
* Identify opportunities to improve systems, performance and reliability
* Support CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation
* Produce clear technical documentation and architectural designs
The Technology Environment & What You Need:
The engineering team operates within a modern, cloud‑first environment focused on scalability, resilience and continuous delivery. They’re looking for a strong technical leader or senior developer to take on the “lead” role who enjoys both hands‑on development and guiding others.
* Strong experience building solutions on AWS, including AWS CDK
* Hands‑on experience with Infrastructure as Code and automated deployments
* Strong understanding of microservices architecture and cloud‑native design
* Experience building secure, scalable and observable systems
* Experience with CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices
* Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to break down complex challenges
* Experience mentoring developers and leading technical delivery
* Comfortable working within Agile environments
* Strong communication skills and ability to align technical solutions with business goals
* Any experience within payments or banking systems would be advantageous
Why You Should Apply:
This is an opportunity for a Technical Lead or Senior Developer to step into an influential technical leadership role within a business that is stable, growing and investing heavily in its technology. You’ll be working on products that have real‑world impact at scale, while helping to shape the future of a modern engineering function adopting new tools, practices and ideas.
If you’re a Technical Lead (or a Senior Developer ready to step up) who wants to stay hands‑on while influencing architecture, mentoring others and building cloud‑native systems, this role offers both challenge and progression.
