Lead Developer Exceptional Greenfield Opportunity
Location: Central Manchester (1-day office presence per week)
Salary: Up to £85,000 + a very generous Bonus
Are you ready to make your mark on a groundbreaking greenfield project with a rapidly growing, world-class organisation? This is your chance to lead the development of a cutting-edge platform that will define the technological future of an industry leader. If you're a forward-thinking software engineer with an expert grasp of AWS, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.
Why You Should Apply:

• A Role Like No Other: This is your opportunity to shape the future. You will play a key role in a project that will be the backbone of the organisation for years to come.
• Work with the Best: This isn't just about adopting the latest technologies; you will be at the forefront of the most advanced cloud-native tools including .NET 7, AWS, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Greenfield Development: You'll have the freedom to build something from scratch, creating a highly scalable, resilient, and secure platform that will be a game-changer in the industry.
• AWS Expertise: Your deep understanding of AWS services is critical to the success of this role; you'll be using these tools to their fullest potential every single day.
• Hybrid Flexibility: A flexible working setup with just one day a week in Manchester, providing you the freedom to balance your work and personal life while delivering exceptional results.

What You'll Be Doing:
As Lead Developer, you will spearhead the design and development of a transformative platform, leading a small team of highly skilled developers and QAs. You will collaborate with product managers and other stakeholders to ensure the technical strategy aligns with the organisation's vision. Your hands-on expertise will be essential in setting high standards for quality and innovation, driving the technical roadmap and executing it to perfection.
Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement cutting-edge cloud-native solutions using AWS and modern engineering practices.
• Lead by example with hands-on coding, debugging, and conducting code reviews to ensure the highest quality of output.
• Work closely with product managers and stakeholders to shape the technical strategy and define priorities.
• Lead and mentor a talented team of developers and QAs, inspiring them to push the boundaries of innovation.
• Stay ahead of the curve on the latest AWS developments and incorporate them into the platform to ensure it remains at the cutting edge of technology.

Tech Stack:

• AWS Cloud Services: Aurora, DynamoDB, Lambda, ECS, EKS, EventBridge.
• Programming Languages: .NET 7, JavaScript, Python.
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform.
• Web Technologies: React.
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions.
• Messaging: Kafka, SNS/SQS.

What You'll Bring:

• Proven Leadership: You have a track record of leading teams in an agile environment, driving high-quality outcomes and fostering innovation.
• In-depth Technical Expertise: Strong experience in software engineering, particularly in .NET, AWS, and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).
• System Design: You have designed and delivered scalable, resilient, and secure systems in the past and know what it takes to make them successful.
• Event-Driven Architecture: You're comfortable with both SQL and NoSQL databases, and you have a deep understanding of event-driven architectures.
• Collaborative Leadership: You believe in empowering your team and bringing fresh ideas to the table to solve problems creatively.
• Results-Oriented: You know how to deliver tangible business value, always with an eye on minimising risk and maximising impact.

The Ideal Candidate:
You're the kind of leader who thrives on challenging the norm and delivering innovative solutions. Your expertise in AWS will play a pivotal role in shaping the success of this platform, and your ability to inspire and motivate your team will be key to achieving exceptional results. You're driven by the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy, and this role will give you that chance.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
This isn't just another job; this is your chance to make a lasting impact. You'll be at the heart of an organisation that's driven by innovation and focused on excellence. You won't just be delivering a product; you'll be helping to define the future of an entire industry, building a platform that will change the game for years to come.
