Team Lead Software Engineer

🏢This is a Hybrid role, working from our London (Moorgate) Offices 2 days per week.

What You’ll Be Doing

As an Engineering Team Lead, you'll be the driving force behind a high-performing engineering team balancing strong technical leadership with hands-on development. You'll own the end-to-end delivery of software projects, partnering closely with Lead Engineers, Product Managers, and the Engineering Manager to set the bar for quality, collaboration, and engineering excellence.

What You'll Do

• Champion a culture of continuous improvement, providing meaningful mentorship and constructive feedback that helps engineers grow
• Motivate, unblock, and hold the team accountable — keeping morale high and delivery on track
• Foster open, transparent communication across remote, hybrid, and in-person environments
• Stay hands-on in software development, leading by example at a technical level
• Establish and uphold coding standards and best practices across the team
• Collaborate with Tech Leads to ensure alignment on technical direction, architecture, and innovation
• Partner with Product Managers, Designers, and QA to align on strategy and turn ideas into well-executed outcomes
• Contribute to product decisions, bringing an engineering perspective that balances speed, quality, and scalability
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks before they become blockers

What We're Looking For 

• Proven experience managing and developing software engineers in a commercial environment
• A natural ability to lead cross-functional projects, working effectively with Product, QA, and other stakeholders
• Strong communicator who can bridge the gap between technical and non-technical audiences
• Extensive commercial experience with C# / .NET / .NET Core / React
• Solid understanding of RESTful API design and Azure cloud development (cloud-first mindset essential)
• Proficient in SQL, with a strong commitment to code quality through comprehensive unit and integration testing
• Deep knowledge of modern software development practices and scalable system architecture
