Analyse current-state and target-state finance processes, identifying inefficiencies, risks and opportunities for simplification. Translate business needs into clear, prioritised functional and non-functional requirements suitable for delivery teams. Act as the initial gatekeeper for new requirements and incidents, ensuring they are well-defined, value-driven and technically feasible.

Senior/Lead Software Engineer (Java)PermanentManchester-based (Hybrid with 3 days in the office)Salary DOE - £95,000 - £145,000 + attractive benefits + bonus
The client is continuing to scale their engineering presence in the UK as part of a broader US-UK expansion. They have recently closed another deal in Greater Manchester, and this is one of the first hires for a team that is expected to grow quite quickly.
This is a role for a Senior Software Engineer with a focus on Back End development with Java as the primary language. It involves improving and extending existing systems, with the possibility of building new interfaces while ensuring the platform continues to scale effectively.
Essential Skills
Responsibilities
Working Pattern
The right candidate will have built and operated a product of reasonable scale. You should bring strong hands-on experience with JavaScript (TypeScript), Node.js, and AWS CDK. You'll need deep AWS experience, particularly in developing large multi-account serverless architectures using cloud-native features. Knowledge of web-based authentication systems, specifically OAuth and OIDC, is important. Please do not apply without this experience. This is a hands-on technical architecture role, not a traditional enterprise architecture position. You must have a strong development background - someone who has progressed from developer through to architect and is still comfortable writing code daily. You will be expected to write code alongside engineers, not just produce diagrams and documentation. If your experience is primarily in enterprise architecture, this role is not the right fit. What you'll do You'll lead the architectural direction for platform services used by other development teams, designing and building internal tooling and platforms whose primary users are developers. Day to day, you'll work across three engineering teams, providing technical leadership while remaining close to the code. You'll design technical services and plan system integrations, selecting platforms and technologies to meet project requirements. You'll undertake structured analysis of technical issues and translate that analysis into practical, implementable designs. You'll identify deeper systemic issues, look for opportunities to reuse components, and contribute to the development of architectural and engineering practices, principles, and standards. You'll communicate your vision and architectural decisions clearly to a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, both technical and non-technical. Strong communication skills are essential. You'll need to articulate architectural decisions and design patterns to audiences ranging from senior stakeholders to junior developers. Job titles we'd expect to see in your background Technical Architect, Lead Developer, Principal Technologist, Senior/Lead Engineer, or similar roles where you combined architectural thinking with active development.
