Manchester - Inside IR35
We’re supporting a global financial services organisation on a long-term transformation within its Digital technology estate and are looking for an experienced Contract Technical Lead to take ownership of a critical, cloud-native platform being scaled internationally. This is a hands-on, high-impact engagement where you’ll step into an existing but advanced platform, stabilise and optimise it, and help shape how it evolves across new markets.
The engagement
* Join a specialist technology team responsible for a strategic platform already live in multiple regions

* Take ownership during a key transition phase, as responsibility moves from the business side into IT

* Hands-on with code (TypeScript / Node.js), embedding yourself in how the platform and domain operate

* Progress into technical leadership and architecture, influencing scalability, performance and future market rollout

* Work with globally distributed engineers, with Product Managers and BAs based onsite

Tech environment
* TypeScript / Node.js

* Microsoft Azure (APIs, cloud-native services, containers / functions)

* Databricks (data modelling, optimisation, analytics)

* CI/CD and DevOps best practices

What they’re looking for
* Proven experience as a Senior Engineer or Technical Lead on complex platforms

* Strong hands-on capability with TypeScript / Node.js

* Solid Azure experience in production environments

* Comfortable owning systems, making decisions and leading technically without heavy oversight

* Background in financial services or other regulated / data-heavy environments is useful but not essential

About the Engagement
* Genuine platform ownership, not firefighting

* Interesting domain with real-world complexity

* Long-term programme with scope to influence architecture and delivery
