Remote .NET Technical Lead
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are working with a UK-based, technology-led organisation that builds and operates mission-critical platforms used by large enterprise and public sector clients across the UK and Europe.
They are hiring a Technical Lead / Lead Developer to strengthen technical leadership within a growing engineering function and to act as the day-to-day technical authority across multiple systems.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will remain close to the code while guiding engineering standards, improving consistency and supporting delivery at scale.


WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
