Software Development Team Leader

Job description

You became a Software Engineer because you love solving complex problems and engineering solutions.

The only thing better than working on an amazing project is leading it.

That’s exactly what this Software Development Team Leader opportunity will offer you. You will have the autonomy to mentor and develop a dedicated and enthusiastic team of 7 while still remaining hands-on, contributing to the code base.

Working in Cambridgeshire, how would you like to join a company whose customers include 30 Nobel prize winners? A company that has been established for over 170 years and is a pioneer within their sector?

You’ll need to be passionate about modern development techniques, coding standards and tools. If you’ve worked in an agile environment, then even better!

Benefits You Will Receive…

Starting salary of up to £65,000
25 days holiday, increasing to 28 days
8.5% employer pension contribution
Bupa Healthcare with excellent sick pay policy
Group Income Protection
Annual bonus
As the Software Development Team Lead, you’ll be in a purpose-built, open plan, modern and fresh working environment in Cambourne, Cambridgeshire. You’ll find there’s a family feel with the immense backing of a company that employs over 30,000 worldwide.

Experience you will need to bring…

We are looking for an experienced team leader with strong C# development skills to provide the team with effective guidance and to help keep them highly motivated.

You’ll be managing your own workload as well as the teams, so you’ll need excellent organisational skills with a methodical and logical approach.
Technology never stands still so you’ll need a passion for improvement and the ability to adapt and learn new skills (as well as teach them!).
Previous experience with C# and WPF, MVVM and desktop application development is essential.
You’ll need to demonstrate previous experience of leading a team and more importantly talk about how you were able to motivate and develop them into top performers.
Next Steps…

Please apply for this opportunity as soon as possible. Upon receipt of your application, one of the team at Ripple Recruit will be in touch to discuss further.
