Lead Software Engineer

Lead Software Engineer

Hybrid – Newcastle

A well-established Tech Consultancy based in Newcastle is on the lookout for a skilled Lead Software Engineer (ideally with experience using Java and Angular ) to join their Agile squad. They’re offering the opportunity to work with a modern tech stack, building scalable greenfield solutions in a fun and flexible work environment.

They have a busy pipeline of projects and strong relationships with clients across multiple sectors (Fintech, Renewables, Oil & Gas, Public, and many more). It’s a unique environment where Engineers can choose projects and technologies, as highlighted by the long tenure of many team members, some of whom have been with the business for 5-10 years.

Currently, they have a couple of requirements to join one of their Agile squads , working on a core project for a key client using Java and Angular. They are ideally looking for Engineers comfortable with these technologies. The organisation is generally tech agnostic, providing a great environment for learning different technologies including Python, .Net, TypeScript, and extensive use of Cloud Services (both AWS and Azure).

You’ll be joining a squad of approximately 4-6 Engineers (depending on the project) and will be involved from initial design through to completion, gaining exposure to large-scale projects . Each team is well-defined, typically including a Project Lead, Software Architect, Front-End, Back-End or Full Stack Engineers, UX Specialists, Automation Engineers, and DevOps Engineers.

What sets them apart from other consultancies is that you’ll never be offshored to their client . You’ll work within the business at all times (either onsite or at home). They have a strict no-overtime policy , focusing on work-life balance, so there are no tight deadlines or late nights. Additionally, they offer flexible working arrangements, accommodating family needs such as school drop-offs or mid-day nursery appointments. The company also hosts multiple events, from guest speakers to weekly lunch treats for the team.

Their office is located in central Newcastle , easily accessible by public transport. They hope team members can come into the office once a week for SPRINTS, meetings, and tech events, but they are flexible with this.

They offer a competitive salary for this role (more than happy to discuss figures before submitting an application), along with a competitive benefits package that includes an annual training allowance, good pension, and a rewarding holiday scheme.

If you meet most of the criteria, please apply or feel free to reach out to Molly Candlish at Cathcart Technology for more information.
