Location – Remote working, with visits to our Bath office once per quarter.

Fun, rewarding and with the opportunity to develop and grow your career. That’s life with L&C Mortgages, the UK’s leading fee‑free mortgage broker with over 160 awards to its name.

Right now, we’re seeking an experienced Lead Developer to drive the next phase of our technology transformation. This is an exciting opportunity to lead the development of our new CRM platform, transitioning from .NET Framework to .NET 8 MVC within a dynamic and forward‑thinking finance organisation.

As Lead Developer, you’ll oversee the full software development lifecycle, ensuring delivery of robust, high‑quality solutions while fostering a collaborative, innovative, and supportive team culture.

The role

As our Lead Developer, you’ll be at the heart of our transformation — guiding our move from legacy .NET Framework systems to modern .NET 8 and Azure‑based architecture. You’ll work closely with project managers, product owners, infrastructure specialists, and key business stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on time, to a high standard, and with real business impact.

We’re looking for someone who loves a mix of leadership and hands‑on development. You’ll provide technical direction, review architecture and code, and stay close to the technology — contributing heavily to coding as part of the day to day and ensuring the team follows best practices and security standards. You’ll also play a vital role in improving how we work, championing agile methodologies, and introducing new tools and techniques that make us better every sprint.

Compliance & Conduct

L&C is authorised and regulated by the FCA and is classified as an Enhanced Firm under the Senior Manager’s and Certification Regime (SM&CR). This role is subject to the 6 FCA Conduct rules and you will be expected to adhere to them at all times. Any confirmed breaches of the Conduct Rules will be reported to the FCA annually. Should you apply for a Certified role in another financial services firm then L&C may be required to disclose this information in a Regulatory Reference request.

• You must act with integrity
• You must act with due care, skill, and diligence
• You must be open and cooperative with the FCA, the PRA and other regulators
• You must pay due regard to the interests of customers and treat them fairly
• You must observe proper standards of market conduct
• You must act to deliver good outcomes for retail customers

About you

You’re comfortable working in Azure DevOps, with a good understanding of unit testing, mocking, and Agile/Scrum methodologies. You know your way around monolithic, microservice, and SOA architectures, and you bring a strong grasp of data modelling, secure coding, and software design best practices.

A natural communicator and problem solver, you can translate technical detail into clear direction and collaborate effortlessly with stakeholders across the business. Detail‑oriented and decisive, you take pride in delivering secure, scalable solutions that make a real impact.

We’re after someone who brings not only technical expertise but also strong people skills — someone who can lead by example, conduct regular one‑to‑ones, and foster a positive, collaborative team culture. You’ll be comfortable communicating with stakeholders across the business, providing clarity on project status, risks, and opportunities, and always looking for ways to improve.
