Who We Are:
AND Digital are a tech company focused on accelerating digital delivery and dedicated to closing the digital skills gap. We’ve been helping organisations build better digital products and stronger digital teams since 2014.

We believe our work should always leave a legacy for the client. We do this through close relationships with our offices (or ‘Clubs’) so that our partners are always prioritised by a regional team close to them.

This unique model has driven success for our clients and ourselves, evidenced by our remarkable organic growth since 2014. Today we number more than 1,300 people with Clubs all over the UK and Europe with plans for global expansion in the next couple of years.

Join us - and help us fulfil our mission to close the world’s digital skills gap.

What you’ll bring to the table:

The Lead Product Developer plays a pivotal role in the build and delivery of remarkable products. They will advocate for software quality and technical vision for AND and our clients, work on large-scale projects, and support the team to grow in their roles.

• Proven development experience of working as a Lead Engineer in a commercial development team with an expert understanding of Java, Typescript & Angular and wider experience in different tools and frameworks across the stack.
• Knowledge of AWS cloud technologies.
• Commercial experience working with agile methodologies.
• The ability to take clients' wider business concerns into account when making technical decisions and dealing with the challenges from stakeholders that come with this.
• Experience of implementing architecture, DevOps, performance or security, and an understanding and ownership of best practice as a Lead Engineer (e.g. TDD, SOLID, XP).
• Comfortable mentoring junior engineers and supporting Squad Leads, with the attributes to provide technical guidance as the most senior engineer on a project and ensuring the development team is achieving project goals and maintaining quality standards.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD practices and deployments.

• A dedicated career scrum team, designed to help you reach your career goals and develop the skills you need to be your best self.
• Monthly and quarterly team socials - on us - ranging from after-work drinks to driving experience days with your fellow club members.
• A safe environment for you to be yourself and challenge yourself.
