Job Description:

? Lead Software Engineer – C# / .NET

? Up to £69,725 + Paid Overtime

? Greenfield projects. No red tape. Real engineering.

We’re building a new kind of tech team — focused on solving real problems with clean code, modern practices, and zero fluff.

This is not a consulting gig. You won’t be stuck in meetings or writing PowerPoints. You’ll be hands-on, writing production code, shaping systems, and leading engineers — all in a greenfield environment designed around good software, not bureaucracy.

? What You’ll Do

• Build modern, scalable systems using C# / .NET Core
• Lead engineering on meaningful client projects (non-client facing)
• Collaborate with smart people in an environment that values code quality
• Mentor mid-level developers while staying fully hands-on
• Contribute to architecture, clean design, and solid engineering practices
• Work 2 days a week in the Leeds office (flexible – 8 days/month total)

What You’ll Need

• Deep experience with C# and .NET Core
• Solid understanding of software design, testing, and clean architecture
• Comfortable working across the stack (JS/React experience is a plus)
• Good grasp of CI/CD, DevOps, and secure coding
• Enjoy leading by doing — and helping others grow

? What You’ll Get

• Overtime paid hourly — no unpaid late nights
• True hybrid working — flexible and realistic
• Learning budget + dev time to invest in your skills
• Join a team at 50 heads, scaling to 100+ — shape things early
• Tech-led environment — built for engineers, not consultants

You’ll be part of something new — a growing, product-focused engineering team that’s backed by a major name, but built like a modern tech company. We’re solving hard problems in the public sector, with real impact and none of the fluff.
