The opportunity

We're looking for an experienced Software Technical Lead to join a growing consultancy working on complex, mission-critical government projects. You'll be working on code that actually makes the UK a safer place to live. Working in a secure environment, this role will require SC clearance - if you don't already have this, the client can put you through it.

This is a great role for a Senior/Lead Engineer who wants to stay hands-on while taking ownership of technical direction. You'll lead engineers, shape architecture and design decisions, and work directly with clients to turn complex problems into high-quality software.

You'll work across the full software lifecycle, from requirements and architecture through to development, deployment and ongoing support.

What we're looking for

• Strong commercial Java experience
• Full-stack experience with Type Script, JavaScript and React
• Cloud experience, particularly AWS (Azure beneficial)
• CI/CD experience with tools such as Git Lab
• Experience leading or mentoring engineers
• Comfortable engaging with clients and providing technical direction
• Consultancy experience beneficial but not essential

Benefits

• Salary up to 85,000
• Flexible working hours and hybrid working
• 5 days' external training plus dedicated L&D budget
• Dedicated Career Coach and technical guilds
• Matched pension and healthcare
• Regular socials and company events

A strong opportunity for a hands-on engineer looking for more technical ownership, interesting projects and a clear route to progress.
