Job Description
Lead Software Engineer
£75,000 - £90,000 Manchester (hybrid working)
If you're the kind of engineer who wants more than just another product or platform… this is where things get interesting.
Imagine working on large-scale digital solutions that genuinely make a difference, shaping services that help create a smarter, safer, greener and healthier world. This is proper #tech4good work, solving complex, real-world problems across areas like healthcare, sustainability and public services.
You'll step into a lead role with real ownership - driving architecture, guiding teams, influencing technical direction and delivering high-impact solutions end-to-end. It's a place where you're trusted to make decisions, not just follow them.
Big growth, big opportunity
The business is on an exciting trajectory, with plans to grow by around 40% this year, so it's a brilliant time to join, make your mark and progress quickly as the team scales.
What makes this stand out?
Tech-first culture that's genuinely technology agnostic - use the right tools for the job
Work across .NET, Java, Python, Node, AWS, Azure and more
A strong focus on engineering excellence, innovation and continuous improvement
Collaborative teams across engineering, design, data and delivery
What you'll be doing:
Owning architecture and delivery of complex, enterprise-scale services
Mentoring engineers and shaping high-performing teams
Working closely with clients, influencing decisions and building trusted relationships
Driving best practices across cloud, micro-services and modern engineering
Why people love it:
Real variety - no two projects feel the same
Clear progression with tailored development paths
A culture built around problem solving, learning and impact
Brilliant benefits including private healthcare, wellbeing support, profit share, hybrid working and more
This isn't one for someone who wants to sit back and coast. It's for someone who enjoys complex challenges, autonomy and building things that genuinely matter.
