Software Engineering Team Lead

Manchester £60,000 - £80,000 Permanent

Are you a natural leader with a strong software development background and a passion for building high-performing teams? We’re looking for a Software Development Team Leader who’s ready to own delivery, mentor top talent, and help shape the future of a high-impact platform built for scale, speed, and resilience.

You'll be guiding a team that plays a mission-critical role in enabling compliance and operational excellence across multiple fast-moving environments. This isn’t just about writing great code it's about orchestrating delivery, ensuring technical quality, and empowering engineers to thrive.

If you're excited by dynamic environments, large-scale systems, and cutting-edge technologies, this is your opportunity to make your mark in technical leadership.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Leading a team of talented developers to deliver scalable, reliable, and secure solutions
  • Planning, prioritising, and tracking work across the full Software Development Life Cycle
  • Collaborating with senior engineers and tech leads to shape robust, modern architectures
  • Proactively identifying and resolving blockers — technical and operational
  • Acting as a key escalation point for high-impact issues and production bugs
  • Championing best practices, clean code, and agile delivery principles
  • Providing mentorship, performance feedback, and career growth opportunities for your team
  • Running team meetings, 1:1s, and contributing to strategic appraisals and planning

What You Bring

  • Proven experience in software development leadership — team management, delivery ownership, and mentoring
  • Strong hands-on knowledge in at least one backend language or tech stack (e.g. .Net, Python, Java, Golang, etc.)
  • Experience working with microservices, and modern cloud-based architectures
  • A passion for process improvement, automation, and efficiency
  • Familiarity with version control systems, code repositories, and DevOps best practices
  • A background in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience


What Makes You Stand Out

  • You're forward thinking and challenge the status quo to drive innovation
  • You thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments
  • You understand the balance between technical excellence and business value
  • You lead with empathy, support knowledge sharing, and lift others around you
