Lead Software Engineer - Umbraco

About The Role Role Overview As Lead Engineer you will provide senior technical leadership on our Umbraco platforms, working alongside engineers, QA analysts and project managers to deliver high quality work on time and to budget.

We are looking for genuine Umbraco expertise rather than broad CMS familiarity: someone who knows the platform properly, has taken sites through major version upgrades, understands Umbraco Cloud and its constraints, and can make architectural decisions that hold up over the life of a long-term retainer.

You will join an existing Umbraco practice and work as part of a small group of technical leads, sharing responsibility for standards, architectural direction and the technical health of the platforms we look after. Our Umbraco clients are charities, non-profits and membership organisations, and the platforms we build for them carry donation journeys, supporter data and services people rely on. Much of the work is continuous improvement on established platforms rather than greenfield build, which means the technical decisions you make will be lived with for years by the teams that follow you.

You will lead architecture and technical planning on the projects you are responsible for, uphold quality through code review and standards, and develop the engineers around you. This role does not carry line management or resourcing responsibility, that sits with the Engineering Manager. Your focus is technical leadership and delivery quality.
