Fun, rewarding and with the opportunity to develop and grow your career. That’s life with L&C Mortgages, the UK’s leading fee free mortgage broker with over 160 awards to its name.

From ‘The Extra Mile’ colleague nominations – recognising those who go above and beyond, to in depth employee assistance and support programmes, comprehensive benefits hub via Perkbox, your birthday off and much more. Right now, we’re seeking an experienced Lead Developer to take a key role in driving the next phase of our technology transformation. This is an exciting opportunity to lead the development of our new CRM platform , transitioning from .NET Framework to .NET 8 MVC within a dynamic and forward-thinking finance organisation.

As Lead Developer, you’ll oversee the full software development lifecycle, ensuring delivery of robust, high-quality solutions while fostering a collaborative, innovative, and supportive team culture.

As our Lead Developer, you’ll be at the heart of our transformation — guiding our move from legacy .NET Framework systems to modern .NET 8 and Azure-based architecture. You’ll work closely with project managers, product owners, infrastructure specialists, and key business stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on time, to a high standard, and with real business impact.

You’ll provide technical direction, review architecture and code, and stay close to the technology — contributing heavily to coding as part of the day to day and ensuring the team follows best practices and security standards. You’ll also play a vital role in improving how we work, championing agile methodologies, and introducing new tools and techniques that make us better every sprint.

Our technical environment spans a range of modern and established technologies, including .NET (Framework 4.5 through to .NET 8) , C# , MVC , Web Services , Function Apps , and Azure . On the data side, we use SQL Server , Azure SQL , Azure Cosmos , Azure Storage , and Message Queues . Experience with front-end technologies like Vue , JavaScript , TypeScript , HTML , CSS , and SASS would also be beneficial, though the role primarily focuses on back-end development.

Should you apply for a Certified role in another financial services firm then L&C may be required to disclose this information in a Regulatory Reference request.

# You’re an experienced software engineer with around seven years in development and proven leadership or mentoring experience . You’re skilled in C# , MVC , and SQL , with solid front-end knowledge across JavaScript , TypeScript , HTML , and CSS/SASS — and experience with Vue or another modern JavaScript framework is a big plus.

You’re comfortable working in Azure DevOps , with a good understanding of unit testing , mocking , and Agile/Scrum methodologies. You know your way around monolithic, microservice, and SOA architectures , and you bring a strong grasp of data modelling , secure coding , and software design best practices .

You’ll be comfortable communicating with stakeholders across the business, providing clarity on project status, risks, and opportunities, and always looking for ways to improve.
