We are looking for a Lead Engineer to join a genuinely hands-on role that also owns backend architecture across the business. This is not a leadership position that has drifted away from the code - you will write production code, lead technical spikes and set the standard for quality, while taking ownership of the architecture for our backend services and integration layer, spanning ERP platforms, in-house systems and third-party SaaS. You will define the standards for APIs, webhooks, event-driven patterns and data flows across the business, and lead and mentor engineers working in Python and .NET. We are keen to champion pragmatic, responsible use of AI tooling - Claude Code, Codex or similar - to increase velocity and improve code quality, so we want someone with a real point of view on using AI coding tools effectively. Working closely with Product, QA and business stakeholders, you will turn requirements into solid technical solutions and drive best practice across code review, testing and technical debt management. This is a hybrid role with one to two days per week onsite, offering a base salary of up to £100,000. The ideal candidate brings proven experience as a lead or senior engineer with deep hands-on knowledge of Python or .NET, a strong backend background covering REST/GraphQL APIs, event-driven architecture and system integrations, and solid SQL and data modelling skills. Comfort in AWS or Azure with modern DevOps and CI/CD practices is expected, and experience with Terraform or infrastructure-as-code, or a background in a platform or service-based business, would be a bonus. Strong communication is essential, as you will need to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
