Role: Lead Software Developer

Location: Bury St Edmunds

Salary: DOE + Benefits package including 10% pension and more

I'm currently working with a well-established organisation that is investing heavily in its technology and looking to appoint an experienced Lead Software Developer to join a collaborative, forward-thinking development team.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, ideal for someone who enjoys writing high-quality code while also mentoring developers, influencing engineering standards and driving best practice across the software development lifecycle.

Working within an established development team, you'll take ownership of a suite of business-critical applications while helping shape the technical direction of the team.

Key Responsibilities

* Lead the design, development and support of business-critical software applications.

* Develop robust full stack solutions using Python and modern web technologies.

* Mentor and support other developers through code reviews, knowledge sharing and technical guidance.

* Contribute to software architecture, system design and integration across multiple applications.

* Help define and promote development standards, best practices and engineering processes.

* Work closely with Product Owners and stakeholders to deliver high-quality solutions.

* Support release management, CI/CD pipelines and application deployments.

* Drive continuous improvement across development, support and delivery processes.

What We're Looking For

* Commercial experience developing applications with Python.

* Strong knowledge of PostgreSQL/SQL and relational databases.

* Experience with JavaScript, with React exposure desirable.

* Experience developing RESTful APIs and system integrations.

* Familiarity with Git and modern CI/CD tools such as Azure DevOps or Jenkins.

* Understanding of software architecture, secure development principles and modern engineering practices.

* Experience working within Agile development environments.

* Previous experience mentoring developers or providing technical leadership.

* Excellent communication skills with the ability to work closely with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

This is an excellent opportunity to join an organisation where you'll remain hands-on technically while playing a key role in shaping development practices, mentoring colleagues and influencing the future direction of a growing software function.

If you're looking for your next technical leadership challenge, I'd love to hear from you
