Full job descriptionLead Software EngineerI’m hiring! Lead Software Engineer | Java | AWS | AI | System Architecture | Kafka | 2 days a week in London| £100,000 + Benefits
Love leading engineers, but not ready to hang up your coding gloves?
I’m partnering with a brilliant FinTech business doing something a little different and building a product that actually let’s people experience what it’s actually like to work in Trading, Banking and Quantitative Finance.
They’re growing, evolving their platform, and looking for a Lead Software Engineer who still really likes being a software engineer.
What will you actually do?
Write Java/Spring Boot code most weeks
Lead, support and unblock a small engineering team
Make architecture decisions alongside a hands-on CTO and Principal Engineer
Get stuck into distributed systems, event-driven services, APIs and AWS
Make CI/CD, testing and releases better (and ideally less exciting)
Work across Docker, React/TypeScript and real-time technology
Experiment seriously with AI coding agents - they’re already part of how this team builds software


Necessary experience with:
Java/ Spring Boot
AWS
Kafka
System Design & Microservice Architecture
AI tooling experience


Desirable:
React
GDPR Knowledge | Experience working in the finance sector


This would be a great role for anyone who knows Java inside and out, had led engineers formally or unofficially and likes solving technical problems. This is a brilliant role for someone who has opinions about good software architecture and can explain why, can actually use AI coding tools and enjoys the autonomy of figuring things out.
A financial background is not necessary, but an interest into how markets work would be great.
Experience working in a smaller team or startup/ scale environment would be desirable.


£100,000 + Benefits and a flexible working environment within a genuinely tech for good business.
