Hackajob*
is collaborating with
AJ Bell
to connect them with exceptional tech professionals for this role.*
What You'll Do**
* Hands-on leadership for a cross-functional team, responsible for the team delivery and line managing ~5 engineers (back-end, web and mobile) providing feedback, coaching and mentoring.
* Engage in the full software development lifecycle: requirements gathering with stakeholders, working as a team to build and test features, managing deployment and supporting the service in production.
* Always be on the lookout for ways we can improve our product, processes and practices. We don't like friction and waste.
* Automated testing, continuous integration and continuous deployment. We are huge proponents of automation.
* Working outside of your specialism when needed. While all our team members have a specialism, we don't let that restrain us. Our engineers jump in to help get things done even in technologies out of their core competency.
What You'll Have
* Previous experience of leading an engineering team, including line management duties such as personal development coaching and performance reviews.
* Excellent programming and problem solving skills
* Understanding of relevant software design patterns and paradigms, such as OOAD, DDD, MVC, microservices, containers/orchestration or event-driven architecture
* Experience in creating performant, scalable, secure and well tested code.
* Strong sense of ownership of tasks and problems, clearing roadblocks and pulling in other people to help when needed.
* Experience working with Investment or Pensions platforms would be an advantage
