Currently the team are transitioning from traditional software application development using C#, Blazer and SQL Server integrating with Dynamics Business Central, and the Data team provide analytics and insights using SAS, MicroStrategy and Power BI.

The new model is to continue with a .NET tech stack, but the team will build and run so developing applications and deploying with DevSecOps. The Data team will also deploy solutions and will move to Fabric, Databricks or Snowflake.

With a Data Architect now in place, the focus is to recruit a Technical Lead to lead the software engineering function.

This role will formerly move towards a Head of Engineering & Platform position but will remain hands on. This is leading by doing and mentoring so you will still be building full stack C# applications and deploying with DevOps but leading others too. There are 7 Software Engineers, an Automation Tester, Scrum Master, DevOps, Infra Engineers and Service Desk Team.

You need to have experience of leading end to end software development including design, build, testing, deployment and support. The Service Desk team need to work closely with the build and deployment resources so that they can support products more effectively.

Embed engineering best practice: implement CI/CD, code quality gates, automated testing, and observability from build to production.

Guide platform evolution: re-engineer legacy .NET and SQL systems into modular, API-driven architectures.

Build and empower teams: mentor full-stack, DevOps, and Automation Test engineers fostering autonomy, innovation, and accountability.

Champion security and reliability by design: integrate compliance, performance, and monitoring into every stage of delivery.

Collaborate widely: partner with Product, Data, and Infrastructure teams to ensure alignment between technology capability and commercial goals.

Drive innovation: pilot emerging technologies (AI, automation, data services) that improve efficiency and insight.

Tech Stack seeking:

Full Stack Developer; Design and Build with C#, JavaScript Library (React.js bonus), API Development, SQL Server/Backend Development including ETL/Integration

Azure DevOps (Repos, Pipelines, Boards, Artifacts, Test Plans),

CI/CD automation, gated releases, and environment governance

Infrastructure-as-Code (Bicep, ARM, Terraform)

Containerisation (Docker, AKS) and serverless (Azure Functions)

Monitoring and observability (Application Insights, Log Analytics)

Secrets management and vulnerability scanning (Key Vault, SonarQube, OWASP)

Microservices and event-driven design (Service Bus, Event Grid, Kafka)

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles

Overall experience:

8+ years in software engineering, with deep full-stack and cloud experience.

Proven record of leading end to end engineering teams through modernisation or platform rebuilds (Design, build, test, deploy, support)

Azure DevOps and enterprise-scale CI/CD. (DevSecOps a bonus)

Excellent architectural judgement; balancing delivery speed, stability, and cost efficiency. Good understanding of SOLID principles

Strong communication and leadership presence able to influence peers and executives alike. This role needs high energy and to take the team on a journey

A continuous learner, passionate about automation, clean code, and scalable design.

This is an exciting time to join a digital transformation in the early stages to lead and influence their transition to modern practices and systems to help them scale and grow at pace.

The role will ideally be Peterborough 2 days a week and 3 days remote. However this can also be based out of London (City) but with Peterborough for 2 days per month for 4 months then London 1 day a week and Peterborough 1 day some weeks.

• Lead optimization and governance around API design (RESTful services, rate limiting, versioning, monitoring, etc.).
• Ensure high data consistency, operational integrity, and well-documented interface contracts between services.

Software Delivery, CI/CD & DevOps

• Define and implement scalable CI/CD pipelines using modern DevOps tooling, including automated build, test, deploy, and rollback strategies.
• Champion continuous delivery practices with robust unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end testing frameworks.
• Drive metrics around deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and mean time to recovery (MTTR).
• Collaborate with cloud engineers to align infrastructure strategy with software delivery needs.

Cloud-Native Engineering (Azure)

• Lead the development of scalable cloud-native applications and services using Microsoft Azure, including Azure Functions, LogicApps, and container-based services.
• Drive cost-effective use of cloud services and performance optimization across environments.
• Ensure cloud architectures support observability, fault tolerance, and high availability.

• Work with data engineers to enable secure, efficient data movement between systems, including real-time and batch processing pipelines.
• Support analytics and reporting needs through the engineering of clean, reliable data sources and APIs.

Security Engineering & Governance

• Partner with security engineers to integrate security throughout the software lifecycle (shift-left security, secure coding, threat modelling).
• Own the implementation of secure authentication/authorization practices, audit logging, encryption at rest/in transit, and other application security standards.
• Ensure software and infrastructure meet organizational security and compliance requirements (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001, OWASP Top 10).

Team Management & Culture

• Build and scale high-performance engineering teams, including backend, frontend, full-stack, data, and security engineers.
• Define and track KPIs for engineering productivity, quality, and performance.
• Promote an engineering culture grounded in ownership, collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.
• Provide technical mentoring and career growth paths for engineers at all levels.
