#LI-KP2

A Group IT function within a well established UK business is restructuring its software engineering team and needs an experienced Development Lead to drive that change.

This is a transformation contract, not a maintenance role. You will come in, assess the current teams structure and capability, then redesign how it works with AI assisted development tooling at the centre.

What you will be doing

You will take ownership of how this team works, not just what it builds. That means assessing current ways of working, leading the adoption of AI development tools across the team, setting engineering standards, and acting as the bridge between technical delivery and senior business stakeholders.

You will still be hands on where needed during the transition, but the main output of this role is team performance, delivery quality and velocity rather than individual coding contribution.

What we need from you

Strong hands on experience across Angular, .NET, JavaScript / TypeScript, Azure, and Azure DevOps / CI/CD.

You must be able to show that you have led a team through a move from traditional development into AI assisted workflows. Not just used Copilot or similar tools yourself, but embedded that way of working across a team and handled the governance, risk, quality and cost considerations that come with it.

DevSecOps awareness including SAST / DAST, secrets management and AI specific security risks is a real advantage.

What good looks like

You have moved from being the best developer in the room to the person who improves the room.

You can assess a team properly, raise standards, and bring people with you.

You can speak credibly with both engineers and senior non technical stakeholders.

You understand the difference between building a feature and owning it in production.

What this role is not

This is not a role for someone who has only used AI tools personally.

It is not a role for someone who leads through technical heroics.

It is not a role for someone who is over enthusiastic about AI without a balanced view of the risks and limitations.

The detail
