Our client is the leader in their field and with pipeline opportunities that would enable them to double their revenue by the end of 2028. To support this, they are in the early stages of a bold digital transformation to improve operational processes and procedures and to modernise systems and practices so that they can deliver quality at pace.

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.

Key areas of responsibility:

Define and execute the engineering strategy across Azure cloud, integration, and legacy modernisation, aligned to the clients long-term digital roadmap.

Design and deliver cloud-native solutions that scale efficiently, perform reliably, and integrate seamlessly across business functions.

Lead by example in Azure DevSecOps: create and manage pipelines (YAML), infrastructure-as-code (Bicep, Terraform), and container orchestration (AKS, Docker).

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. Travel from London + overnight stays in Peterborough will be paid.
