CPS Group are supporting an established technology-driven organisation in Cardiff who are looking for an Software Engineering Team Lead to join their growing software engineering function.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Senior Software Engineer or Team Lead who enjoys technical leadership, mentoring engineers and shaping engineering practices. You’ll play a key role in guiding Agile teams, influencing architecture and helping drive the technical direction of a modern software platform.
The Role
You’ll provide technical leadership across multiple engineering teams, supporting delivery, improving engineering standards and helping engineers grow.
