Development Team Lead

Lead Developer – Cheshire – Hybrid – up to £70,000

A growing Cheshire based business is hiring a Lead Developer to manage a team of four engineers. The role focuses on people leadership, team performance, and delivery ownership, not heavy hands-on coding.

You will act as the link between engineering execution and leadership direction, keeping work flowing and removing blockers.

Work covers greenfield builds and legacy system improvements. Expect a 70/30 split, leadership first with some hands-on involvement when required.

The tech stack includes .NET, C#, Azure.

You will need experience leading small engineering teams, strong communication skills, and a clear focus on delivery and people development. You will take ownership of priorities, support technical decisions, and help build a high performing engineering culture.

The role is hybrid, two days per week in the Cheshire office, rest remote. Salary sits up to £70,000, open to conversation for the right person.
