The Opportunity
Our client, a leading technology‑focused organisation, is looking for a Lead Software Developer (Team Lead) to drive the technical evolution of their digital estate. This is a pivotal role for a hands‑on technical leader who wants to architect the future, moving their bespoke applications from legacy frameworks (PHP/.NET) toward a modern, cloud‑native architecture.
In this role, you won’t just be writing code; you will define standards, champion CI/CD automation, and mentor a talented team of developers. If you are passionate about elevating digital experiences and building scalable SaaS solutions, this is the perfect challenge for you.

* Architect & Build: Design and develop high‑quality, scalable software solutions. You will own the technical design, ensuring robust architecture and code quality.
* Mentor & Coach: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to the development team, fostering a culture of collaboration and professional growth.
* Innovate: Champion the adoption of CI/CD pipelines, test automation, and emerging technologies to increase delivery speed and reliability.
* Collaborate: Work closely with Product Owners, Business Analysts, and QA teams in an Agile environment to deliver seamless, integrated solutions.
The Tech Stack
We are looking for versatility and a strong grasp of modern engineering principles.
* Front‑End: Modern frameworks such as Blazor, React, Angular, or Vue.
* Legacy Knowledge: Familiarity with modernising legacy stacks (e.g., PHP, older .NET frameworks) is highly valuable.
* Data: SQL, NoSQL, and strong API design principles.
About You
* Experience: Proven experience as a Senior or Lead Developer in a complex, multi‑system environment.
* Cloud Native: Demonstrable track record of cloud‑based development and architecting scalable systems.
* Leadership: Natural mentor capable of influencing technical decisions and motivating a team.
* Agile Mindset: Skilled in Agile delivery, sprint planning, and driving continuous improvement.
* Problem Solver: Excellent analytical skills and a commitment to quality, security, and data protection best practices.
Why Apply?
* Impact: Play a lead role in a major digital transformation project.
* Flexibility: Enjoy a balanced hybrid working model (typically 2–3 days in the Swindon office).
* Growth: Opportunity to shape engineering standards and the future technology roadmap of the organisation.
