London, United Kingdom JJA - James Joseph Associates Full time

 

THE ROLE: Java Technical Lead

 

You will be a Java Developer with previous “Hands-on” technical leadership experience overseeing a team of 6 talented and enthusiastic software engineers delivering custom solutions to their end-user clients. This is a new role that has been created as the business headcount expands. You will report to the Head of Technical Delivery.

 

Whilst you will retain the opportunity to be hands-on, design, and code our client requires someone with demonstrable experience in leading a team, improving Agile SDLC processes, and managing stakeholder relationships. From a technical perspective, you will have a strong background in Middleware and Messaging based architecture (E.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ etc.) . Our client is FCA regulated so an emphasis and awareness of Security is essential. Whilst Cloud experience is not mandatory is it highly desirable as there are a number of greenfield initiatives related to Azure in the near future.

  • Set a positive example in software development by actively participating in code reviews, pair programming sessions, and knowledge exchange.
  • Work with stakeholders to define product goals, features, and outcomes, translating requirements into manageable user stories and tasks.
  • Collaborate closely with various teams, including QA engineers and product managers, to deliver seamless and unified solutions.
  • Define and monitor key Agile metrics like velocity, burndown charts, and cycle time to evaluate team performance and project progress.
  • Serve as a liaison between technical and non-technical stakeholders, facilitating clear and efficient communication.
  • Encourage knowledge-sharing efforts within the team and contribute to building a collective knowledge base.

 

SKILLS / EXPERIENCE REQUIRED: Java Technical Lead

  •  Proven track record of leading Agile development teams from a technical standpoint.
  • Extensive experience (typically 8+ years) in various software engineering roles.
