Full Job Description
Are you a seasoned software engineer ready to lead from the front? We are looking for a Lead Developer to join our dynamic team and shape the future of digital services at CPS. This is a hands-on leadership role where you combine deep technical expertise with strategic influence, mentor others, and drive delivery across high-impact projects.
You bring extensive experience in C# (ideally C# 12) and .NET 6-8, with a strong track record in designing and building scalable backend services and RESTful APIs using ASP.NET. Your understanding of cloud-native architectures-particularly within Microsoft Azure-is key, alongside a solid grounding in computer science fundamentals, clean architecture, and SOLID principles.
You thrive in agile environments and champion DevOps practices.
As a technical authority, you lead developers as part of multidisciplinary teams, shape development standards, and collaborate across departments to deliver secure, accessible, and high-quality digital solutions. You also play a key role in recruitment, skill development, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
If you are passionate about modern software engineering, eager to mentor others, and ready to make a tangible impact, we want to hear from you.
As part of this role, you undertake direct line management responsibilities.
The Crown Prosecution Service is based in England and Wales. If you're applying for this role and live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you must let us know when accepting this offer as you need permission to work from your home address if hybrid working is part of your role. There's no guarantee that we will grant this approval.
You must be aged 16 before starting in this role. The start date is expected to be 8-12 weeks after the application deadline., This vacancy is using Success Profiles (opens in a new window), and will assess your Behaviours, Experience and Technical skills.
Recruitment process
The recruitment process consists of an online application, technical assessment and interview.
The technical test is expected to take place week commencing 15 September 2025 with interviews the following week, week commencing 21 September 2025. The technical test will require you to come prepared with some preinstalled software. Full detail on the requirements for the technical assessment can be found in the "Things you need to know/Assessment" section below
Your interview takes place online through Microsoft Teams. A member of our recruitment team will be in touch with guidance. If you have any queries about this, please contact Ellie.Dixon@cps.gov.uk
You should keep these weeks free or notify us if you're not available. We'll make every effort to accommodate your date preferences but we can't guarantee it., The technical assessment (coding test) with questions will last 1 hour. A Teams meeting will be scheduled and you will be invited to participate. If you pass the technical interview, you will be invited to attend the behaviour interview the following week.
To complete the assessment, you will need to have the following software and tools pre-installed on your development machine. Additionally, you will need to have access to a cloud environment.
The following software and tools are required:
- Visual Studio 2022 ("Community" edition is ok)
Please install the following workloads:
+ - Web Development
+ - Cloud Development
+ - .NET 8
+ - Notepad++
+ - Visual Studio Code
+ - Azure Storage Emulator ("Azurite" is preferred)
+ - Postman
+ - Azure CLI
+ - A Modern Browser (Google Chrome is preferred)
For further information regarding the assessment, please email Ellie.Dixon@cps.gov.uk

We use behaviours to help us understand your experience, to see if you're a good fit for the role. You are assessed against Grade 7 in the Civil Service success profiles behaviours framework. We are assessing 3 behaviours at interview stage.
+ Changing and Improving - Interview
+ Managing a Quality Service - Interview
+ Leadership - Interview
The panel may refer to the lead behaviour 'Changing and Improving' at the interview stage to determine merit order.

It's your responsibility to provide the specified information in the requested format to ensure that you're considered for the post.
If you're unable to cover three years through employment or academic history, you must provide a character reference for clearance purposes
AI
Artificial Intelligence can be a useful tool to support your application, however, all examples and statements provided must be truthful, factually accurate and taken directly from your own experience. Where plagiarism has been identified (presenting the ideas and experiences of others, or generated by artificial intelligence, as your own) applications may be withdrawn and internal candidates may be subject to disciplinary action. Please see our candidate guidance for more information on appropriate and inappropriate use.
Other

+ Security Clearance - three years within the last five years
