The Role - Lead Back End Engineer

If this is the opportunity you have been waiting for, to work in a fast-paced company with cutting-edge technology, please send your CV to [email protected]

Key Skills and Attributes

Strong backend engineering experience, ideally including Java (Java 11+) and Spring Boot.
Proven ability to design and lead backend architectures for complex systems.
Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS is mandatory) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
Experience with event-driven architectures and messaging platforms such as Kafka.
Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices, and distributed system design.
Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and modern deployment practices.
Skilled mentor with the ability to influence technical direction across teams.
Strong problem-solving skills, balancing technical, product, and delivery considerations.
Comfortable in agile environments using Git-based SCM and tools like Jira or Redmine.
Awareness of compliance frameworks such as ISO27001 and PCI.

About the Role

Reporting to a Software Engineering Manager or Head of Engineering, we are seeking a Lead Backend Software Engineer to be the go-to authority for backend engineering, setting the technical vision, guiding architecture, and driving improvements in tools, processes, and delivery practices. You’ll remain hands-on for critical work, but your greatest impact will come from technical leadership, enabling teams to deliver robust, scalable, and secure services.

With a strong foundation in backend technologies, including Java and Spring Boot, and event-driven systems such as Kafka, you’ll influence systems well beyond your own code, ensuring architectural integrity and high engineering standards across multiple teams. You’ll play a pivotal role in aligning technical strategy with business goals and ensuring our backend capabilities are future-ready.

Main Responsibilities

Technical Leadership
- Define and evolve backend architecture to ensure scalability, maintainability, and performance.
- Set coding standards and champion secure development practices (e.g. OWASP).
- Influence technology choices, frameworks, and tools to support engineering excellence.
- Oversee improvements to CI/CD pipelines, build processes, and operational workflows.
- Can clearly and confidently articulate risk of technical problems to non technical stakeholders (e.g legal, product owner, designer)
- Leads projects and features to good outcomes, ensuring appropriate engineering decisions are made to factor in technical debt, systems design, stability/reliability, monitoring/observability and business need.
Hands-On Guidance
- Contribute to key backend systems when your expertise is needed.
- Review and refine critical code, ensuring alignment with architectural goals and best practices.
- Provide technical oversight for major initiatives, ensuring architectural soundness.
Mentoring & Collaboration
- Coach, mentor, and develop engineers, raising capability across the backend discipline.
- Facilitate design discussions, code reviews, and collaborative problem-solving sessions.
- Build consensus for architectural and technical decisions across teams and stakeholders.
Continuous Improvement
- Identify and proactively resolve technical debt.
- Introduce new backend technologies and approaches that improve reliability and delivery speed.
- Promote engineering practices that support scalable, secure, and maintainable systems.
Community & Advocacy
- Proactively stays up to date with technology trends in their area, and uses this knowledge to contribute thoughts on engineering strategy.
- Share knowledge through presentations, workshops, and internal forums.
- Support recruitment by assessing candidates and promoting a strong engineering culture.
- Ensure backend systems comply with relevant standards such as ISO27001 and PCI.
