Posted 4 hours 35 minutes ago by Akkodis
I'm looking for a Lead Software Engineer looking to lead an incredibly talented team of Engineers whilst taking the reigns on all things Back End focused and driving their technical road-map forward.
My client launched their award-winning, enterprise-scale SaaS platform under 5 years ago and it has since revolutionised its industry and is being utilised by some of the biggest companies and brand names in the world. They have grown quickly and have well and truly made an impact in their market and now have millions of users.
They built the platform from scratch several years ago using absolutely no Legacy code and only the very best technology stack and enterprise tools within a true Microservices environment. They have since grown their Engineering function significantly and are proud to have a team of some of most talented Software Engineers and Technologists in the UK.
They show no signs of slowing down and they're on boarding new customers consistently and due to this - we're looking for more Engineers to join them and play a key role in driving the platform forward and play a key role in its evolution.
You will be an expert at developing Microservices and this is an ideal role for a NodeJS enthusiast who wants to lead a team of Back End engineers - steering technical direction/roadmap. You'll pride yourself in building sophisticated, highly-scalable systems and solutions and you'll have worked within a proper Microservices environment.
Naturally you'll be a solid JavaScript enthusiast, ideally with TypeScript knowledge and be familiar with NoSQL Database (Ideally MongoDb or ElasticSearch) and have a good understanding on AWS, ideally including Cloudformation. I'd love you to be an advocate of Agile too - these guys are massive on Agile Delivery and Scrum - so it's important that you share a similar mind-set and appreciate continuous integration and deployment.
You'll be a true man-manager or mentor- one that leads by example and knows exactly how to get the best out of your teams. You will provide support, leadership, and oversight to your Back End team, ensuring projects are delivered to the highest standards. You will be a inspirational leader - someone who can provide tech leadership and evolve best practice within your team!
You will be responsible for the personal development of your Engineers - ensuring they have personal development plans in place, allowing them to flourish and mature their tech skills.
Therefore, you will have a proven tracked record in managing, mentoring or leading Software Engineers to success!
This is a great chance to join a firm who do things the right way. These guys absolutely do NOT compromise on quality - they take it very seriously. They place a huge emphasis on delivery so its naturally critical we find someone that shares and owns this mindset!
If you want to work on Enterprise-Scale software in a true Microservices environment Developing Software for some HUGE organisation This really isn't a role you want to miss out on.
They have awesome offices here in Nottingham - so we'd like you to be open to working on site if needed but its not a dealbreaker. They treat their staff super well and are a massive believer in giving their people a good home life/work life balance - very flexible working hours, early finish on Fridays, company annual trip and so much more!
Salary is up to £75,000 with more benefits - Want to hear more?
