Manchester, United Kingdom James Adams Full time

Are you an experienced software engineer looking to lead a high-performing team, drive innovation, and shape the future of cutting-edge applications? A leading organisation in the financial services sector is seeking a Lead Software Engineer to join their team in Manchester. This permanent role offers a competitive salary of £110,000 - £120,000, a 20% bonus, and an exceptional benefits package.


About the Role

As the Lead Software Engineer working with a team of Full Stack Software Engineers, you will oversee the strategic development and delivery of Java, React, and Python-based applications, ensuring their scalability, robustness, and performance. Working on-site three days per week, you’ll lead talented teams and play a pivotal role in advancing software engineering practices, tools, and methodologies to support a dynamic and collaborative work environment.


Key Responsibilities

  • Define and execute the software engineering strategy, aligning with business objectives and priorities.
  • Lead, mentor, and inspire software engineering teams to deliver high-quality solutions.
  • Drive the architecture and development of full-stack applications, ensuring scalability and maintainability.
  • Collaborate with Enterprise Data and Architecture teams to align designs and practices.
  • Oversee multiple concurrent projects, ensuring on-time delivery and adherence to scope.
  • Establish best practices and tools to optimise Agile delivery and engineering excellence.
  • Monitor and enhance metrics for quality, operational excellence, and agility.

Your Background

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years in leadership roles.
  • Extensive experience with Java, REACT, and Python, and expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure).
  • Ideally you'll still be doing some hands on coding and want to continue doing this.
  • Proven ability to manage and deliver large-scale, high-performance applications.
  • Familiarity with streaming/event-driven techniques and microservices architecture.

What Will Set You Apart

  • Knowledge of DevOps tools such as Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with Kafka and Agile methodologies.
  • Financial Services experience is desirable but not essential.
  • Commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to convey complex concepts to non-technical stakeholders.


What’s on Offer

  • A high-impact role with visibility and influence over software products’ strategic direction.
  • Opportunities for professional development within a global, innovative organisation.
  • A collaborative, diverse, and inclusive work culture.
  • Competitive salary, bonus, and a strong benefits package.


Location & Working Arrangement

This role is based in Manchester, with a hybrid working arrangement requiring on-site presence three days per week.


Take the next step in your career and lead impactful projects with a team dedicated to excellence. If you’re ready to embrace this opportunity, apply now to join a thriving organisation committed to innovation and diversity.
