I’m recruiting for a Lead Software Developer to join a brilliant organisation based in central Swindon, and they’re looking for someone happy to be in the office two days a week. You’ll be joining a company right at the start of a huge modernisation journey, investing heavily in modern tech, cloud native transformation, and the future of digital experiences for their members and customers. In this role, you’ll guide the design and delivery of high quality software solutions, working closely with the Application Development Manager and colleagues across the wider technology function.
This role is perfect for someone who loves getting stuck in. They want a Lead Software Developer who blends hands on technical ability with genuine leadership. Someone who can shape how software is designed, built, and delivered, while supporting and guiding the team. You’ll directly manage two developers and two testers, with room for that team to grow up to seven.
You’ll take ownership of the development and technical roadmap as they transition legacy .NET and PHP applications into modern, cloud hosted platforms. There’s a mix of internal systems and customer facing applications, all of which are getting a major refresh. This is not a polished environment yet, and. they’re looking for someone who sees a bit of chaos as an opportunity to do something brilliant. Someone who can roll up their sleeves, steady the ship when things wobble, and lead from the front.
Alongside delivery leadership, you’ll mentor developers, promote engineering best practice, and contribute to organisation wide standards and the long term technology roadmap. You’ll still remain hands on, be leading design and development, shaping engineering standards, maintaining quality, driving CI and CD, improving documentation and review processes, and playing a key part in modernising legacy applications for the future.
The tech stack centres around C# and Blazor, but they also work with a range of other technologies, so someone experience with .Net technologies but who is happy to be tech agnostic when needed and happy to flex will fit in perfectly.
They’re looking for proven experience as a Lead Developer, strong technical capability, and someone who genuinely wants to make a big difference.
Salary is up to £80,000 for the right candidate.
