Lead Developer , you’ll spearhead the development of a transformative platform, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality solutions. You’ll take ownership of technical roadmaps, drive innovation, and set the standard for excellence by leading a small team of talented developers and QAs.
Key responsibilities include:
Architecting and implementing cloud-native solutions using
AWS services
and modern engineering practices. Leading by example with hands-on coding, debugging, and code reviews. Collaborating with product managers and stakeholders to define technical strategies and priorities. Mentoring and inspiring your team to push the boundaries of what’s possible.

scalable, resilient, and secure systems . Deep understanding of
event-driven architectures

The Ideal Candidate: You’re someone who thrives on challenging the status quo, bringing fresh ideas and innovation to the table. Your expertise in AWS will be instrumental in shaping the platform’s success, and your ability to inspire and lead a team will drive its execution.
Why This Role Stands Out: This isn’t just another job—it’s an opportunity to leave a legacy. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of a dynamic, forward-thinking organisation. With a focus on cutting-edge technology and a commitment to excellence, this is the chance to make a real impact. #J-18808-Ljbffr
