About Scrumconnect Consulting

Scrumconnect Consulting is a multi-award-winning digital consultancy whose work has positively influenced the lives of over 40 million UK citizens. We deliver impactful technology solutions across UK government departments, working at the forefront of user-centred design, agile delivery, and scalable digital services that genuinely make a difference.

Visa sponsorship available for eligible candidates
Strong focus on work-life balance with a flexible hybrid model (3 days onsite)
Be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary agile environment alongside civil servants and industry experts

Based in Swansea, South Wales - three days per week on-site

Role Overview

We are looking for a Lead Software Engineer to provide technical leadership across one or more multi-disciplinary teams delivering digital services for a UK government client. You will set the technical direction across a hybrid estate spanning modern cloud-native services and established Mainframe platforms, and you will be hands-on with code, architecture, and design decisions.

This is a senior technical role combining engineering excellence with team leadership. You will operate within structured and governed environments where security, performance, accessibility, and reliability are critical, and you will shape how teams build, test, and run software in production.

Key Responsibilities

Provide technical leadership across one or more multi-disciplinary teams, setting standards for engineering quality, security and performance
Lead architecture and design decisions across services built in Java Spring Boot, AWS Serverless (Lambda/Node.js) and Ruby on Rails (desirable)with React
Define integration patterns between modern services and Legacy Mainframe systems, supporting incremental modernisation
Remain hands-on with code: contributing to critical paths, conducting code reviews, and pairing with engineers
Own the technical roadmap and non-functional requirements (performance, scalability, observability, security) for assigned services
Mentor and coach senior and mid-level engineers, raising the engineering bar through example and feedback
Lead CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and DevSecOps practices using the Serverless framework, AWS-native tooling, and modern pipelines
Collaborate with architects, security, product, and delivery leads to translate user needs into robust, deliverable technical solutions
Contribute to GDS service assessments and ensure services meet the Service Standard, Technology Code of Practice, and accessibility requirements
Drive technical decision records (ADRs), runbooks, and operational readiness for services entering live support

Essential Skills & Experience

Strong hands-on experience leading the design and delivery of production services across a polyglot stack
Deep experience with Java and Spring Boot for Back End service development
Practical experience building serverless services on AWS using Lambda, Node.js, and the Serverless framework (or equivalents such as SAM/CDK)
Experience with Ruby on Rails (desirable)and modern React front-ends, or comparable full-stack experience and the ability to lead teams using these tools
Strong grasp of integration patterns with Legacy systems (mainframe, ESB, message-based, batch) and incremental modernisation strategies
Solid understanding of secure-by-design principles, OWASP risks, and engineering for high-assurance environments
Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK) and modern CI/CD practices
Strong experience working in Agile or hybrid delivery models (Scrum, Kanban) within multi-disciplinary teams
Excellent communication skills, including the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders
Experience delivering services within a UK public-sector or government context
Familiarity with GDS service standards, the Technology Code of Practice, and the GOV.UK Design System

Desirable

Experience leading Legacy modernisation, including strangler-pattern migrations away from Mainframe systems
Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, EventBridge, SNS/SQS)
Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2) and inclusive design
Experience supporting services through GDS Alpha, Beta, and Live assessments
Active contribution to engineering communities of practice, open-source projects, or technical writing

What we offer

Competitive salary with annual review
Company pension scheme
Generous annual leave entitlement
Critical illness cover
Relocation support of £3,000 - £5,000
Visa sponsorship for eligible candidates
Access to learning and development resources
A supportive, inclusive working environment
