Lead Software Engineer
- Full-time
I'm hiring! Lead Software Engineer | Java | AWS | AI | System Architecture | Kafka | 2 days a week in London| £80,000 - £100,000 + Benefits
This is a brilliant role for a Senior looking to take a step up!
Love leading engineers, but not ready to hang up your coding gloves?
I'm partnering with a brilliant FinTech business doing something a little different and building a product that actually lets people experience what it's actually like to work in Trading, Banking and Quantitative Finance.
They're growing, evolving their platform, and looking for a Lead Software Engineer who still really likes being a software engineer.
What will you actually do?
- Lead, support and unblock a small engineering team
- Make architecture decisions alongside a hands-on CTO and Principal Engineer
- Get stuck into distributed systems, event-driven services, APIs and AWS
- Make CI/CD, testing and releases better (and ideally less exciting)
- Work across Docker, React/TypeScript and real-time technology
- Experiment seriously with AI coding agents - they're already part of how this team builds software
Necessary experience with:
- GDPR Knowledge | Experience working in the finance sector
- Experience working in a smaller team or startup/ scale environment would be desirable.
This would be a great role for anyone who knows Java inside and out, had led engineers formally or unofficially and likes solving technical problems. This is a brilliant role for someone who has opinions about good software architecture and can explain why, can actually use AI coding tools and enjoys the autonomy of figuring things out.
A financial background is not necessary, but an interest into how markets work would be great.
£100,000 + Benefits and a flexible working environment within a genuinely tech for good business.
