Job Description:

Software Engineer / Technical Lead - Derby - On-Site

At client Engineering, the world leader in engineering services, we bring together a global team of engineers, scientists, and architects to help the world’s most innovative companies unleash their potential. From autonomous cars to life-saving robots, our digital and software technology experts think outside the box as they provide unique R&D and engineering services across all industries. Join us for a career full of opportunities. Where you can make a difference. Where no two days are the same.

About the job you’re considering

• Lead a team of developers in creating bespoke software.

• Take responsibility for software design and architectural decisions.

• Advise the Product Owner on technical matters such as feasibility of implementing ideas and prioritisation of resolving technical debt.

• Work with IT architects to obtain and document the infrastructure and tools the team needs.

Your Role

We are frequently looking for staff interested in joining the team. This requires:

• Full-time on-site working at Derby on a secure site. Access to HI systems is therefore limited and so the team maintain connection to the business by booking in days to work at the Ashby office, attending branch meetings, etc. Benefits and relocation support will be discussed with interested candidates.

• UK Security Clearance.

• Good communication and technical leadership skills.

• Working in Scrum teams; there are lots of opportunities to influence the development methodology.

• Designing and documenting system-level, distributed architectures (web applications, microservices, workflow orchestration, relatively straightforward but with an unusual set of constraints).

• Knowledge of one of more of the following technologies: Python (sqlalchemy, pandas, fastapi); Javascript/Typescript (React, Vue); SQL (MSSQL).
