Technical Lead Engineer

This is a key role where you'll act as the bridge between our Java/Spring backend and Vue.js frontend, taking ownership of feature development from concept through to delivery. You'll play a central part in ensuring seamless integration across the stack, maintaining architectural consistency, and driving best practices across the engineering team.

Alongside hands-on development, you'll mentor junior engineers and help elevate the overall technical capability of the team.
What you'll be doing:

You'll be working across the full stack, leading the design and delivery of new features while ensuring performance, scalability, and reliability. The role requires someone who can take high-level requirements and translate them into clear technical solutions, working closely with both product and engineering teams.
Technical environment

You'll bring deep expertise in Vue.js and modern frontend development, paired with strong backend experience in Java and the Spring Boot ecosystem (including Data, Security, and MVC). A solid understanding of RESTful API design, SQL/database design, CI/CD pipelines, and AWS is essential.

We're looking for someone with 8+ years of experience in software engineering who has a proven track record of leading technical initiatives and mentoring others. You'll be a strong problem-solver and critical thinker, comfortable working from broad requirements and shaping them into robust, scalable solutions.

A security-first mindset would be highly beneficial, and any background in cybersecurity would be a significant advantage given the nature of our work.
Location & flexibility

Preference for candidates based in the North West, but we're open to fully remote candidates. The role includes one week per quarter in our Manchester office to collaborate with the wider team.
