A leading investment platform company in Manchester is looking for an engineering leader to oversee a cross-functional team. This role involves engagement throughout the software development lifecycle and continuous improvement of processes. Applicants should have a strong programming background and previous leadership experience. The position offers a hybrid working model and training in Go for those unfamiliar with the language.

The Touch team is developing a next generation investment platform. We want to use technology to improve the way consumers access financial advice and manage their investments. We're seeking developers at all career stages. Whether you have just over a year of experience or are a seasoned engineer, we have opportunities for you. Plus, we offer Go training for experienced engineers new to the language. If you're ready to take your career to the next level, apply now!

What you'll do: Engage in the full software development lifecycle: requirements gathering with stakeholders, working as a team to build and test features, managing deployment and supporting the service in production. Work as part of a distributed team made up of self-motivated and collaborative individuals. Much of our communication is remote and async so good communication skills are key. Iteratively make improvements to a new product while aligning to our mutually agreed design and architectural principles. Always looking for ways we can improve our product, processes and practices. We don't like friction and waste. Automated testing, continuous integration and continuous deployment. We are huge proponents of automation. Working outside of your specialism when needed.
