Development Lead - London - £110k +bonus!
Please note - this role will require you to work from the London office a minimum of three days per week. You must have the unrestricted right to work in the UK to be eligible for this role - this organisation is not able to offer sponsorship.
About the Company
We are partnering with a leading London-based broker that is investing heavily in cutting-edge technology to maintain a competitive edge in a fast-evolving market. With a strong focus on innovation, this organisation is embracing modern platforms, AI-driven development practices, and forward-thinking engineering principles to transform how they build and deliver solutions.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a business that is not only keeping pace with technological change - but actively driving it.
The Role
As a Development Lead, you will step into a hands-on technical leadership role, ideal for a senior developer ready to take the next step in their career. You'll play a key role in shaping the development function, guiding engineering best practices, and leading the adoption of emerging technologies.
This is not a purely managerial position - you'll remain close to the code while influencing technical strategy, architecture, and innovation across multiple platforms.
A core part of this role will involve driving the evolution of AI-enabled development, including leveraging prompt engineering, AI-assisted coding, and emerging "vibe coding" methodologies to enhance productivity and unlock new capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and mentor a team of developers while remaining actively involved in hands-on development
* Shape and implement the technical vision, architecture, and development roadmap
* Drive adoption of AI-powered development practices (e.g. prompt engineering, AI copilots, automation tooling)
* Work across a multi-platform, tech-agnostic environment, including:
* Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
* Microsoft Azure
* Salesforce ecosystem
* MuleSoft integrations
* Promote engineering excellence, best practices, and continuous improvement
* Collaborate closely with stakeholders across the business to deliver scalable, high-quality solutions
* Evaluate and implement emerging technologies to ensure the business remains at the forefront of innovation
About You
You'll be a senior or lead-level engineer who is passionate about technology and excited by the opportunity to shape how modern development teams operate.
Key skills & experience:
* Proven experience as a Senior Developer / Tech Lead ready to step into (or already in) a leadership role
* Strong hands-on development background across multiple technologies and platforms
* Exposure to cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
* Experience working with or alongside Salesforce and/or MuleSoft (or similar integration platforms)
* Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and scalable systems
* A genuine interest in emerging AI technologies, including:
* Prompt engineering
* AI-assisted development tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, LLMs)
* Modern development paradigms such as "vibe coding"
* Tech-agnostic mindset with the ability to adapt and learn across different stacks
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders
What's on Offer
* Salary up to £110,000
* Performance-related bonus
* Flexible hybrid working model (London-based)
* Opportunity to work at the forefront of AI-driven software development
* A clear pathway into senior technical leadership
* Collaborative and forward-thinking engineering culture
Why Apply?
This is a unique opportunity to join a business that is genuinely embracing the future of software development. If you're excited by the idea of blending hands-on coding with leadership - and want to shape how AI transforms engineering practices - this role offers the platform to do exactly that.
