Lead Software Developer
If you are a Lead Software Developer hoping to sharpen their skills in a highly-technical environment or a Senior Engineer hoping to take the jump to lead, one of the leading British brands and a pioneer in CyberSec is hiring.
It’s an opportunity to act as a player coach- gaining or building on previous leadership experience while staying hands on.
As a role the Lead Software Developer position lends itself to someone that wants to lead from the front- a technologist that wants the accountability and softer skill development of a lead role without sacrificing technical skills.
The person-
* We’re searching for someone that either has broad technical exposure (.Net/Java/Python) or a specialism in backend language and a willingness to learn more technologies.
* You’ll have experience either managing/leading teams or mentoring colleagues with an ambition to move into more leadership type roles.
* You’re approachable, eager to teach and willing to learn- certifications demonstrating investment into your skills will show the team you are someone to invest in.
* 6+ Years experience developing software, but we are flexible.
The tech stack-
The tech stack is broad and you are not expected to have everything. The more you have is a plus but what you don’t have is a challenge- you’ll have opportunity to plug gaps you didn’t know you had via learning and development.
The tech at the Lead Software Developer’s disposal is:
* Java, .Net or Python
* Systems, e.g. Git
* CI/CD tools, such as Bamboo, Jenkins, Gitlab etc in order to streamline delivery of new features and fixes
* Automation Testing frameworks and tools (Selenium, Gherkin, Cucumber)
* Static code analysis tools e.g. SonarQube
* Team working inside an agile environment e.g. Scrum, Lean, Kanban
* Define and enforce coding standards, code reviews and development ways of working
* Common software design patterns
* Able to organise and plan work for development teams
* Passionate about developing and mentoring mid - junior engineers promoting continuous improvement
* Excellent client facing skills
