Job Title: Principal Developer & Team Lead Salary: £51,400 - £68,800 Location: Cambridge/Hybrid with 40-60% of time in the office Contract: Permanent Hours: Full time 35 hours per week As a team lead with strong technical instincts you're ready to take the next step with more scope, more shaping of what gets built, more influence over how things are done but you're not ready to put down your tools. We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge. About the role You'll lead transitions taking place in our organisation: migrating legacy enterprise applications to cloud-native AWS architectures, while helping us establish two practices from close to scratch including Site Reliability Engineering and AI development. Alongside that broader technical leadership, you'll be the principal developer on a focused project within the programme, having deep ownership of a specific delivery, hands in the-code, designing and building it end to end. You'll spend most of your time close to the code: setting direction, setting the standard in design and review, and writing code alongside the team. You will also be the line manager for a small team of developers. We're not looking for a fully formed people leader; we want someone who cares about the people around them and wants to grow into that part of the role. You'll have support and development to grow into it over time. The bulk of your focus is on technical work. You'll be the principal developer on a focused project within the migration programme, your own delivery to design, build and own. Around that, you'll lead the wider migration to AWS, build the DevOps automation and observability that lets SRE practices take hold, and establish the standards for how we use AI responsibly in education products. You'll set the technical bar through code reviews, design conversations and your own contributions, not from a distance. You'll deliver in agile squads alongside architects, product owners, technical leads, SREs and infrastructure teams, and you'll be the technical voice in stakeholder conversations about what's possible. This position has been classified as a hybrid role, requiring the selected candidate to typically spend 40-60% of their time collaborating and connecting face to face at a dedicated location. Aside from our hybrid principles, other flexible working requests will be considered from the first day of employment, including other work arrangements should you require adjustments due to a disability or long term health condition. About You A current or recent team lead ready to step up technically. The bar that matters most: You've led developers before, formally or informally, and people have grown around you You're fluent in two or more modern languages and you still write code regularly You've worked with AWS (or an equivalent cloud) in depth, not just touched it You understand CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and what observability actually means in production You can hold a conversation about event driven architecture, microservices and security in cloud environments at a level beyond the textbook You communicate clearly with engineers and non engineers, and you're open to growing the people leadership side of the role with support Desired criteria: Hands on exposure to AI/ML in production systems Experience helping establish SRE or observability practice early on A track record of modernising legacy systems without breaking them What this role offers Genuine scope from the start-you'll be shaping the SRE function and AI practice, not inheriting someone else's blueprint, while owning a focused project as principal developer that keeps you firmly in the code. A small team to lead and learn from. A leadership team that expects you to stay close to the code, and that will support you to grow as a people leader at your own pace. And work that has real reach: the systems you help build serve millions of learners, teachers and researchers worldwide.
