## About the Role

* Very strong software development experience, including in a management or lead role, with a strong track record of mentoring engineers and taking architectural ownership of complex, concurrent projects
 * Practical experience with C#
 * Experience with C++, Rust, or both, alongside comfort working across a mixed stack that includes Python and TypeScript - experience with control systems or telemetry is a strong advantage
 * Solid knowledge of distributed systems and real-time streaming technologies such as Kafka or WebSockets, plus familiarity with a range of data persistence approaches including relational, document, and time-series stores
 * Confidence with modern DevOps practices including CI/CD, containerisation, and infrastructure-as-code, along with a genuine enthusiasm for adopting AI tooling

## Description

The Lead Software Engineer will head up a team of three to five engineers, guiding architectural decisions, setting quality standards, and taking end-to-end ownership across a broad and sophisticated software estate. Day-to-day, you will work across systems that sit at the heart of this organisation - from telemetry and real-time communications platforms to simulation tools and analysis pipelines used by key stakeholders. This is a hands-on leadership position; you will remain a working engineer contributing directly to design and code, not simply directing from a distance.

A significant part of this role involves helping to evolve legacy desktop applications into modern solutions - so an understanding of that migration journey is a real advantage here. The team works across a deliberately broad stack: C++ and C# for desktop and backend services, Rust for performance-critical work, React and TypeScript on the front end, AI tooling is actively embraced across the group, and an enthusiasm for applying it pragmatically will be welcomed.
