Lead Software Engineer

True North are exclusively working with a well known brand who are looking to add a Lead Software Developer / Tech Lead to their very well respected team - there are few organisations doing development and engineering to the level and scale as this team.

Having known this organisation for many years, they pride themselves on a very high bar in terms of quality of development and innovation when it comes to their engineering and architecture that supports their products both internally and externally.

A lead developer / tech lead for this organisation has the benefit of deciding how they run their product team and how the role looks - for example you could be 20% hands on and 80% leadership activity, or can be more 50/50 - it's up to you.

It would be important to note that lead developers while they wont be coding every day, will be involved in discussions around architecture, code reviews and driving the overall engineering agenda in their product team, as well as in discussions with delivery managers and product managers - so its essential the tech lead is from a hands on background and still maintains enough current knowledge in that space.

The tech stack in simple terms is: C# .Net Core, Microservices, Azure, and Vue.

JS - for these roles specifically we do need the back end skills as a minimum in C# .Net Core Microservices and Azure - ideally however, you would be a full stack developer who enjoys continuous learning and development

Key skills and experience needed:

• Demonstrable experience as a lead developer or tech lead
• C# .Net Core
• RESTful APIs
• Microservices
• Azure and Azure services things like (Azure Kubernetes, Container Registry, Service Bus, Cosmos DB, Key Vault, Synapse etc)

We have a starting salary up to and around £70,000 for the role, dependant on experience - these roles also come with an impressive bonus and benefits package.

The team are working on a 3 days per week hybrid pattern, with their offices being just outside Newcastle City Centre (north) with onsite parking a good transport links.
