The product helps organisations bring together complex data from multiple sources to track costs, improve project visibility and identify potential fraud or irregularities across large-scale projects.
This is a senior, hands-on role within a small, collaborative UK- and Canada-based team, currently comprising two developers, so you will have strong all-around capabilities. Salary Circa £80-90k + Benefits
The role is remote within the UK (you must be in the UK/Eligible to work), with the option to work from an East Sussex office for local candidates.
The role will replace the current Tech Lead, who will transition out over the next six months, allowing for a structured handover.
Key skills required for the Java Tech Lead/Developer include the majority of the following:
You'll be working on a data-rich SaaS product solving real-world problems in construction and engineering, where complex project data, cost tracking and fraud detection are key business challenges.
