Our client is a well-known fintech software house in the City. They are urgently looking for a Lead Developer/Development Manager to join their high-profile team. Current challenges include cloud migration, greenfield trading platform development, and bank-based API creation.
Day to Day, the Lead Developer/Development Manager will:
- Line management and personal development of a team of highly skilled developers
- Manage the delivery of multiple complex simultaneous product development initiatives from design through to release
- Work closely with product & project managers and business analysts to produce accurate delivery estimates and manage the transition from analysis through to design and delivery
- Define delivery phases of the project including activities, sub-activities, and milestones ensuring these are documented and used as the basis for the project event log, issues and risk log and any subsequent reporting

- Oversee the operation of the client technical support desk
- Contribute to the definition of departmental and systems strategies and progression of any allocated objectives
- Undertake small analysis projects in the form of consultancy
The environment is relaxed and open, similar to that of Facebook or Google, with time to think and make the right decisions. This is a role for techies, those who are motivated by the sharp end of technology and the possibility of making serious money doing something you are passionate about.
Development Managers MUST have:
- Hands-on coding ability in C#
- Interest in mentoring and leading a team
- Experience in a variety of software development approaches and methodologies including Agile and Waterfall
- Experience in both architecture and analysis techniques and process improvement approaches

The successful individual will join a small team working directly with the CEO. My client is growing rapidly as they expand the audience for their products. I am looking for someone who can grow with the team, in responsibility and/or technological prowess – and make a significant contribution to the products we are developing. In our informal technology team office, we offer a quiet, friendly environment with break-out rooms for planning and discussion. My client is based in Central London.
