Team Lead

📍 Moorgate 🏢 2 days in the office a week

Are you a strong .NET engineer who's been the go-to person on your team — the one others come to for guidance, code reviews, or a second opinion? Have you found yourself mentoring junior colleagues, running standups, or quietly holding a project together? If you're ready to make that role official, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We're looking for someone who is technically excellent and people-driven — you don't need a string of management titles behind you, but you do need the hunger to lead, the empathy to develop others, and the credibility to earn your team's trust from day one.

Growing into the leadership seat

• →Taking ownership of a small, talented engineering team — setting the tone for quality, collaboration, and accountability
• →Providing mentorship and constructive feedback that helps engineers level up — something you've likely been doing informally already
• →Building the habits and rituals that keep a team aligned: standups, retros, 1-to-1s, and clear communication across remote and in-person settings

Staying close to the code

• →Remaining hands-on in software development — this isn't a role where you disappear into meetings
• →Upholding coding standards and best practices, and guiding engineers through technical challenges at a peer level
• →Collaborating with Tech Leads and the Engineering Manager on technical direction, architecture, and continuous improvement

Bridging engineering and the business

• →Working closely with Product Managers, QA, and Designers to translate ideas into well-delivered outcomes
• →Contributing to product decisions and helping the team understand the wider context behind what they're building
• →Spotting risks early and addressing them before they derail delivery

You're ready to lead — even if you haven't held the title yet

• You've mentored colleagues, upskilled those around you, or stepped up informally in a previous role
• You're a strong communicator who can bring clarity to ambiguous situations
• You care about people's development as much as your own

You're technically solid

• Extensive commercial experience with C# / .NET / .NET Core and ideally some exposure to React
• Comfortable with RESTful API design and working in Azure cloud environments
• Proficient in SQL and a genuine advocate for code quality — unit and integration testing aren't an afterthought for you
• Grounded understanding of scalable system architecture and modern development practices
