We’re looking for a Principal Technical Lead to help modernise our clients' technology environment and to support a small development team as they move toward a more flexible, Microsoft‑based platform.

This is a newly created role where you’ll guide architectural direction, improve development practices, and mentor two developers as the business transitions away from a heavily customised ERP system.

What you’ll do
  • Develop the future technology architecture and technical design
  • Work with the BA and Head of Technology on a software and AI‑ready project plan
  • Mentor and support the development team, setting clear standards and processes
  • Introduce structure around documentation, peer reviews, release processes, and code management
  • Collaborate with an external partner to support delivery
  • Help shift the business from paper‑ and email‑based workflows to more modern solutions
What you’ll bring
  • Experience mentoring developers and setting engineering standards
  • A extensive background in .Net software development with strong capability in software architecture
  • Practical experience improving development processes and ways of working
  • Ability to lead complex technical projects and design architecture that addresses real business constraints
  • Experience with Microsoft technologies (Azure, PowerApps, Power Automate)
  • Experience leading complex technical projects or transformations
  • Exposure to BOMs is a plus

If you enjoy both technical problem‑solving and helping a team grow, this role offers the chance to shape a meaningful technology uplift.
