Software Development Team Lead (Hands-Off) | £60k - £75k | Ulverston, Cumbria | Hybrid
If you're passionate about managing, helping other software developers, and delivering good software, this role will be for you.
We are hiring for a Hands-Off Software Development team lead.
You will come from a software dev background, but you won't be coding in this role. Instead, this role is all about owning the team's delivery pace, running the day-to-day, and managing a team of developers.
AI will naturally have a part to play in this role, and you will ideally be someone who is interested in where the direction of AI is going, and investigate how to implement this into the team too. You don't need to be an AI wizard (though that would help). Rather, we are just not looking for a sceptic.
