## Description

Brown & Brown Europe is building long-lived, product-led squads with end-to-end ownership of the services they create. You will work in a collaborative engineering environment that values practical delivery, automation, security, quality, learning and continuous improvement.

The day to day:

You will lead technical delivery within a product-led squad, combining hands-on engineering with day-to-day technical leadership. You will partner closely with Product and Delivery, while the Lead Engineer provides broader cross-squad engineering leadership.

Key responsibilities:

 * Lead technical design and delivery for the squad while remaining hands-on.

 * Turn product priorities into secure, scalable and supportable technical solutions.

 * Guide estimation, decomposition, dependencies and pragmatic technical decisions.

 * Own technical delivery from discovery through release and live support.

 * Set expectations for code quality, automated testing, security, documentation, observability and operational readiness.

 * Improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment practices to enable safe, repeatable releases.

 * Champion peer review, pairing, test-first thinking, small releases and continuous refactoring.

 * Coach engineers through reviews, pairing and knowledge sharing.

 * Make technical debt, risks and operational issues visible and lead proportionate action.

 * Use DORA, quality and service measures to drive improvement.

 * Collaborate with Architecture, Cloud, Security and platform teams within agreed guardrails.

Support incident investigation and turn learning into preventative improvements.
*

How we work:

 * Work in a long-lived, product-led and stream-aligned squad with clear service ownership.

 * Follow a Build and Run model: design, build, test, deploy, monitor, support and improve squad-owned services.

 * Use a transparent, prioritised backlog and deliver value incrementally through a regular agile cadence.

 * Take part in planning, refinement, daily collaboration, reviews, retrospectives, demos and showcases.

 * Use Definition of Ready and Definition of Done, including testing, security, documentation and operational readiness.

 * Automate build, test, security assurance, deployment and repeatable environment activity wherever practical.

 * Release in small, safe increments and use feedback and delivery data to improve.

 * Work within shared architecture, cloud, security and platform guardrails.

Use approved engineering and AI-assisted tools with appropriate security controls and human review.
*

Our technology environment:

 * Frontend: React, JavaScript/TypeScript and component-based UI development.

 * Backend: .NET, C#, APIs, Entity Framework Core, services and integrations.

 * Cloud: Microsoft Azure, monitoring and platform guardrails.

 * Tooling: Azure DevOps, Git, backlogs, CI/CD and deployment automation.

 * Practices: Automated testing, peer review, secure coding, pairing, test-first thinking and continuous refactoring.
