Lead Software Engineer

££60,000 - £69,725 GBP

Onsite WORKING

Location: United Kingdom (Yorkshire and the Humber) Type: Permanent

Lead Software Engineer – Tech Venture within a Global Professional Services Firm

Leeds | Hybrid (2–3 days per week in-office)

Up to £69,725 + Paid Overtime + Learning Allowance

Must be eligible for UK National Security Vetting

 

Work on the inside. Build tech that powers national infrastructure.

Our client is a high-growth digital delivery unit inside one of the world’s leading professional services firms. Operating more like a tech start-up than a consultancy, they deliver secure, modern platforms that underpin large-scale public and private sector systems — think data-intensive, always-on, and deeply impactful.

They’re scaling fast and now hiring multiple Lead Software Engineers to join their Leeds-based team. This is a hands-on role for experienced engineers who care about clean code, architecture, and delivery — not PowerPoints, not client calls:

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Take the lead on backend engineering using C#/.NET (full-stack experience welcomed).
  • Architect, build, and deliver secure distributed systems at scale.
  • Guide a team of engineers, mentoring and leading by example.
  • Work across containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), APIs, microservices, and cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
  • Stay engineering-focused — no consulting or sales duties required.

What You’ll Need

  • Deep knowledge of C# and .NET, with strong experience building enterprise-grade platforms.
  • Experience leading development teams or acting as a technical lead.
  • Familiarity with REST APIs, CI/CD tooling, containers, and cloud deployments.
  • UK residency for the past 5+ years and eligibility for UK National Security Vetting.

Why This Role?

  • Overtime paid — up to 200 hours per year on top of base salary.
  • No-pressure hybrid — just 8 office days a month, with flexibility on how you arrange them.
  • No sales or people management paths — progress by staying hands-on and technical.
  • Real engineering culture — autonomy, deep tech, startup pace, long-term security.
