Job Description
With a rapidly expanding program of major engineering projects, we need team leaders focused on project delivery and client satisfaction. The day to day requirements of the role will change with each project, depending on its technical profile, its scale, and the situation of the engineers within the project team as a whole. But in every case we need Lead Developers who not only meet our exacting engineering standards, but who also excel in the areas of team leadership and management, client communications and project planning. Our approach to delivery (flat structures, minimal division of labour) mean that we tend to have small teams for any given size of project. The teams, however, are highly skilled and extremely agile, which tests the skills of our team leaders (Lead Developers) in mapping the team and its work onto projects that are often complex and high risk, and with rapidly evolving requirements. We need capable team leads who are persistent and persuasive, and who not only know how to run a project so that it can succeed, but also what to do when things are going wrong. The role will involve occasional travel and working on site with clients, depending on the project. Skills
On the purely technical side, we recruit people who combine breadth and depth of outlook and experience. This reflects the broad nature of the work we are required to do. We systematically turn our hands to a range of technologies; we have built projects that are deployed on Unix, Windows, OS X, Android & iOS, and, for example, have used C#, Clojure, Erlang, F#, Go, Java, JavaScript, Objective C, Python, Ruby, Scala, and Scheme in production. You must have sufficient engineering / Computer science depth to be able to learn and apply new technologies quickly.A good candidate will have the following technical skills and attributes:
- Knowledge of algorithms, data structures, complexity
- Experience with different programming paradigms (definitely OO, at least one of functional or declarative, and any others a bonus)
- Versed in several programming languages
- Familiarity with, eg., test driven development, continuous integration, micro service architecture, containerisation
- A passion for open source technologies and open standards
- A passion for technology in general
- Good Unix and Windows skills
However, in this position we are looking not only for those technical skills, but also the kind of leadership, presentation and management skills that will allow you to lead teams of our engineers on projects.A good candidate will have a mix of the following leadership skills, capabilities and experience:
- Knowledge of project delivery tools and methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, etc.)
- Proven team leadership and mentoring skills
- Proven client handling and communications skills
- Experience of all stages in the project life-cycle
- Ability to
- apply software design principles across a wide range of architectures
- act as a systems architect
- lead significant systems integration projects
- handle significant client engagement issues on a project
- act as a technical product manager
- provide technical consultancy in a client-facing role
- work well with non-technical stakeholders
