Software Developer Team Lead - Shape the Future of Internal Systems
Are you an experienced developer ready to lead a small team and make a big impact?
Want to step into a hands-on leadership role where you'll guide projects from concept to delivery?
Looking for that rare balance of technical challenge, work-life harmony, and career growth?
The Role
This is a perfect fit if you're a natural mentor who still loves to code.
You'll lead a small, high-performing development team delivering internal systems, partner portals, and websites that keep the business running like clockwork.
Expect a mix of hands-on development, people management, and architectural decision-making - all in a collaborative, friendly environment.
No legacy red tape here. Just greenfield projects, clean code, and autonomy to do things the right way.
What's In It For You?
- £50,000 - £60,000 salary
- 4-day work week (no drop in pay) after probation
- 30 days annual leave (including stats)
- First 6 months: 5 days in office (Newry) | After that: hybrid flexibility
- Ongoing professional development
- Pension + free onsite parking
- Brilliant team, real impact, zero micromanagement
Tech Stack & Skills
We're looking for someone with:
- 8+ years of software development experience, with 3+ years in a leadership role
- Strong background in .NET: C#, VB.NET, WPF (MVVM), ASP.NET, LINQ
- Experience working with SQL Server, T-SQL, XML, JSON
- Proven ability to guide projects and people
- Confident in managing codebases, processes, and team members alike
If you've worked in small, agile teams before and love being close to the code while setting the direction - this is for you.
About You
You're the right match if you:
- Are a natural team leader who leads by example
- Love writing clean, efficient, well-documented code
- Get a buzz from mentoring others and improving systems
- Can confidently engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Are hands-on, organised, and never shy away from a challenge
What's It Like to Work Here?
This is one of the few places where people join and stay.
The team has built a reputation for being tight-knit, forward-thinking, and genuinely supportive.
Leadership trusts their developers, and everyone has the freedom to deliver great work without unnecessary red tape.
If you're looking for a tech role with strong values, a proper work-life balance, and the chance to shape something meaningful - you've just found it.
