Description
Lead Full Stack Engineer - Contract
Remote (UK) - Competitive Daily Rate
I'm currently working with an award winning, forward thinking digital consultancy, with offices in 6 different countries. Right now they have a requirement for a Tech Lead to join on a 6 month contract working with one of their biggest clients. You will be working with cross-functional product teams, consisting of a variety of talented professionals at the top of their game. You will assist with designing, developing, testing and deploying software solutions.
There are no throwaway projects here. Each project holds a lot of significance with their clients, and in some cases the entire world. This is a consultancy that is very selective about the types of projects they take on. First and foremost you will be a strong people manager; however, you must possess a solid technical background as you will be expected to drive projects forward ensuring they meet scalability, robustness and security requirements.

- Experience working across disciplines (ie not just within a tech team) to ensure building of high-quality products as well as delivering the project on time, on budget.
- Experience being hands-on on projects, getting deep into code and being looked upon as a senior authority in software development tasks, projects, etc.
