Overview
We're looking for an experienced Lead Backend Software Engineer to join a high-profile programme building secure, cloud-native data services that will support data-driven research and innovation at national scale. This is a founding engineering role, offering the opportunity to shape the architecture, engineering standards, and core data services from the ground up. Working closely with the Engineering Manager and a small team of senior engineers, you'll establish the technical foundations for a complex federated data platform operating within a highly regulated environment. We're looking for someone who enjoys building from first principles, thrives in ambiguity, and can balance strategic architectural thinking with hands-on software engineering. This role is centred around designing and building distributed data services rather than traditional application development.
Role Responsibilities
- Lead the design and development of scalable, cloud-native data services supporting a federated platform.
- Define architectural patterns and best practices for data services.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment on project goals.
- Mentor junior engineers and promote a culture of continuous improvement.
