Akkodis; Manchester; Remote; GBP 50,000 - 60,000

Job description

Are you a Senior/Lead looking to take the reins on a leading range of Golang based software solutions? Do you want to build and scale applications for an organisation whose products and services genuinely help people's lives for the better?

I am looking for the very best Golang experts across the UK to join this cracking software house at a super busy time for them. Due to sheer growth, they're looking to ramp up their talented Golang outfit with the addition of both a Senior and a Mid-Level Engineer. What I love about this company is the important impact that their solutions have on their users.

Their product is the definition of "Tech for Good" and it genuinely serves a great purpose. Their software and applications have been built with a true Enterprise-level mind-set and is AI-driven. It's a well-known platform that is used widely in this industry over a number of sectors.

With a talented team of Golang specialists in place (and more on the horizon!), we now need a solid Senior/Lead calibre of Engineer who can mentor, develop and inspire them, alongside taking a lead role in client interaction - ensuring their needs and goals are met.

So, naturally - it is super important that you are the type of person who thrives in a customer-facing role - and that you're very good at it. This will involve complex requirement-gathering where you will be able to really get under the skin of what your client needs from their applications then providing them with a technical solution that fits. This is an important role where you will be able to set realistic expectations with your clients; asking the right questions along the way and ensuring that you and your team can deliver these solutions on-time and to budget.

Once you know what your customer wants, you will take action - directly feeding this through to the Software Engineering team, delegating efficiently and mentoring along the way, conducting code reviews all the time setting nothing but high-quality standards and best practice across your team. You'll be the type of Lead that your team are comfortable coming to with questions or advice. In essence, they will look up to you as a Senior Engineer.

From a tech perspective, you'll bring solid Golang exposure. Ideally Vue.JS on the front-end, or a similar framework. You'll be a huge advocate of Agile ways of working and know how to best instill them into your team - ensuring only the very best code quality and design principles are used.

They're a remote-first business so you'll need to work well from home. They communicate well via Slack and other means, so you'll constantly be in touch with the other Devs. They're a close-knit bunch and everyone gets along really well. The founder is the kind of person you want to work for and one who is down-to-earth and personable with a great vision for the business. You can tell he believes in investing in his staff and getting the best out of the people who work for him.

You'll be entitled to a great benefits package that includes a training budget that you can use to up-skill yourself where you feel appropriate / gaining certifications are encouraged and supported. They're open to flexible working hours, too.

Up to 60k for our Senior role but also keen to speak to strong Mid-level enthusiasts.
