About the role and team
We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Technical Lead with a strong background in .NET, AWS, event-driven architecture, and continuous delivery to join a team delivering and modernising a broad range of business-critical applications and services. This is very much a lead engineer role: you'll spend the majority of your time writing code, setting technical direction by example, and working closely with engineering teams and client stakeholders.

The successful candidate will work across a broad technology landscape including .NET, Next,js and AWS. You will play a key role in building scalable, event-driven, cloud-native solutions, improving existing systems, and setting the technical bar for delivery.

This role requires someone comfortable operating within challenging technical environments, able to work closely with engineering teams and stakeholders to simplify, improve, and evolve existing services. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, as many existing platforms and services have significant operational and organisational investment behind them.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a hands-on Tech Lead, writing production code as the majority of your day-to-day activity while setting technical direction for the team.

• Design, develop, and maintain applications and services using .NET technologies and AWS cloud platforms.

• Work hands-on across a broad technology landscape including .NET, Next.js and AWS

• Drive continuous delivery practices, improving build, test, and release pipelines to enable frequent, low-risk deployments.

• Identify opportunities to simplify, rationalise, and improve existing systems and services.

• Design and implement Infrastructure as Code solutions using Terraform.

• Support cloud-native engineering practices and platform improvements across AWS environments.

• Contribute to frontend application development using Next.js or similar modern JavaScript frameworks.

• Engage directly and confidently with business stakeholders, translating technical trade-offs into terms that support good decision-making.

• Promote best practices in software engineering, maintainability, scalability, and operational excellence.

• Support teams through technical challenges and modernisation initiatives.

Required Experience

• Strong, hands-on experience as a Tech Lead or Lead Engineer working within .NET environments.
• Good experience across both modern .NET and legacy .NET Framework applications.
• Strong experience with AWS cloud technologies.
• Strong experience designing and implementing event-driven architecture.
• Strong experience with continuous delivery, including CI/CD pipeline design and delivery automation.
• Experience implementing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
• Experience working within complex or evolving technical environments.
• Frontend development experience using Next.js or similar JavaScript frameworks.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with confidence engaging directly with business stakeholders.
• Comfortable working hands-on within challenging technical environments, spending the majority of time writing code rather than managing people.
• Ability to work collaboratively across engineering and business teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience modernising legacy enterprise applications and services.
• Exposure to WCF, WPF, and broader legacy Microsoft technology stacks.
• Experience supporting platform consolidation or transformation initiatives.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tooling and harness engineering concepts.
