You will take charge of a team currently comprising 3 graduate developers (with plans to add 3 more), helping them develop their technical expertise and adopt best practices.

  • API Production: Drive the development of production-ready APIs and application code using Python, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems.
  • Stakeholder Management: Engage with senior stakeholders and non-technical communities to understand their concerns, perform demos, and drive transformation initiatives.
  • Best Practices: Advocate for and implement best practices across the team, ensuring high-quality code and operational efficiency.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work with infrastructure and software development teams to architect, build, and maintain cloud-native applications using event-driven microservice architectures (e.g., OpenShift and Kafka).
  • CI/CD Pipelines: Oversee the implementation and continuous improvement of CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab), ensuring an efficient development and deployment process.
  • Observability: Build observability into applications through alerting, logging, and monitoring frameworks, ensuring quick recovery from failures.

About the Role:

This role offers flexibility with 2 days per week in Manchester, or every other week if trust and delivery are established. We are offering a competitive salary of £120,000 - £150,000 depending on experience.
