We’re working with a global investment organisation to appoint a Lead Full Stack Engineer who can take ownership of building and evolving modern, data-driven digital platforms.
This role suits someone who enjoys staying close to the code while also setting direction, leading by example rather than stepping away from engineering. You’ll play a key role in delivering scalable solutions across marketing and customer platforms, using a modern cloud-based stack.
What you’ll be doing
- Leading the design and delivery of full stack, microservices-based applications (Java, Angular, AWS)
- Remaining hands-on with development while guiding technical standards and direction
- Driving marketing technology initiatives across Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), Adobe Experience Platform (AEP), and Adobe Target
- Collaborating with product and marketing teams to build data-led, customer-focused solutions
- Taking ownership of architecture, CI/CD pipelines, TDD, and engineering best practices
- Acting as a senior point of contact for complex technical challenges
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience in a Lead Engineer role with strong hands-on development capability
- Deep expertise in Java, Angular (or similar modern JS frameworks), and AWS
- Experience building microservices, APIs, and cloud-native systems
- Familiarity with Adobe MarTech tools (AEM, AEP, Target)
- Interest or experience in data-driven platforms or analytics
- Strong communication skills and experience working across cross-functional teams
Why consider this role?
- A genuine blend of leadership and hands-on engineering
- Modern, cloud-first technology environment
- Opportunity to influence digital and customer experience at scale
- Exposure to MarTech strategy and data platform development
- Supportive, collaborative engineering culture
This is a strong opportunity for someone looking to grow their impact while remaining technically engaged in a leadership role.
