We are looking for a professional and enthusiastic lead software engineer to join our team with experience of supervising a team of software developers. In this role you will work with us to build interesting and creative software solutions for Ceredigion County Council. It is our vision to support the creation of healthier, safer, more resilient communities; help protect and improve the environment; and promote social innovation.

As an experienced lead engineer of the team, you will provide planning and guidance to bring projects to life and see them through to completion. You will lead, supervise, guide and mentor the project team of software developers to ensure the projects excel. We are looking for someone that can run a project and be a senior engineer.

You will inspire to set out good working practices for the team and introduce new ways of working. You will be given the opportunity to solve problems, learn and innovate in different areas, including UX, mobile, scaling out modular services, databases, big data, design practices and patterns. We promote learning and training which allows our team to grow and excel.

This is a remote position, but if wanted, you can make use of our hybrid working facilities at our main office at Canolfan Rheidol, Aberystwyth. Our team promotes flexible and healthy work-life balance with many benefits to yourself and our community.

We work primarily (but not exclusively) in C#, .NET, ASP.NET, JavaScript, and React, but strong skills in contemporary technologies with the capacity to switch would be highly valued.

We believe work-life balance is very important. To support you in achieving this, you will have access to the following discretionary benefits:

• Hybrid Working: Subject to certain conditions being met, you may choose to work from home or in an office location.
• Flexi-time: Hours may be worked within a defined bandwidth, Monday to Friday, subject to service needs.
