Job Title: Senior Lead Software Engineer
Location: London
Salary: £70,000 – £90,000
Job Type: Full Time, Permanent
About You
You’re an experienced developer who still has to write code every day to feel good. You understand how important it is to make good architectural and system design decisions – and you can make them – but you also understand that they mean nothing in Powerpoint and everything in code.
It’s obvious to you that just because this is how Google do it, doesn’t mean this is how we should do it. You can help us to design and build the right thing at the right time, with a keen eye for detail on the here and now, and a strong view on the roads we can take as things change in the future.
Done is better than perfect, simple always wins, working code is everything.
As someone who loves working as part of a team, and helping to mentor and develop those around you, you’re excited to come into our buzzing London office at least once a week to collaborate. You’re equally aware of using ‘deep flow’ time away from the office to maximise your development output.
You’re ‘hands on’, you ‘get stuck in’, and you take ownership when you can to ‘get cool stuff done’.
