Lead Software Engineer
Tech: React / JavaScript • .NET Core • APIs • AWS
"We’re building engineering teams that actually love engineering. Teams that care about elegant architecture, clean code, automation everywhere, and shipping things that millions of people use every single day."
If that sounds like your kind of place, keep reading.
What's the role?
We’re looking for a hands-on, culture-shaping Lead Engineer to drive one of our most critical product areas. You’ll work across modern React front ends, high-performance .NET Core services, and AWS-native architecture, and you’ll influence the engineering standards that power a platform used by over 10 million active users.
This is not a “keep the lights on” job. This is a role where you get to elevate engineering quality, coach a strong squad, challenge thinking, and help shape the future of one of the biggest consumer platforms out there.
Why you’ll love it here.......
* You get to shape engineering culture in a scaling, high-impact environment
* Work on products that millions of people interact with every day
* Real autonomy: own decisions, define standards, and influence architecture
* A genuinely collaborative engineering community — no silos, no ivory towers
* Modern tech stack, strong investment in tooling, and a leadership team that gets engineering
Day-to-day you will:
* Lead a cross-functional engineering team through discovery, delivery, and optimisation
* Ship clean, well-tested code across the full stack (React/JS + .NET Core)
* Design and evolve API-driven, event-enabled architecture
* Own systems end-to-end with real DevOps autonomy
* Champion engineering best practices — CI/CD, observability, automated testing, modern cloud patterns
* Help define our engineering culture, ways of working, and standards
* Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Data and Platform teams to build experiences used at scale
We're looking for a Lead Engineer, who thrives in a modern engineering culture (DevOps, cloud-native thinking, CI/CD, and strong craftsmanship), wants to build experiences used by millions every day and can offer the following:
* Deep full-stack experience: React/JavaScript on the front end + .NET Core on the back
* Strong AWS knowledge — we love serverless, containers, and building things the “right” cloud-native way
* Excellent API design skills and experience running distributed systems
* Someone who cares about Agile delivery, DevOps principles, and craftsmanship
* A leader who loves mentoring engineers and lifting teams
* The ability to think big, but also dive deep when needed
