DevX_POD Lead (Kotlin/Java)
Hybrid 60% office-40% Remote - Sheffield

Duration: 30/11/2026
Rate 529
MUST BE PAYE THROUGH UMBRELLA

Role Description
:


Technologies we use in the role (Required):
  • Kotlin, Java,
  • Microservices,
  • REST APIs,
  • SQL/Databases,
  • HTML/JavaScript,
  • Asynchronous messaging / event-driven architectures (Kafka or similar)
  • Proactive person who will own the end to end including resolution of blockers and prioritisation of work.
  • Experience working with standard developer collaboration Tools: Github, Jira, Confluence

About the project:
  • Provide day-to-day technical leadership for an agile engineering team, supporting the overall Tech lead to deliver outcomes at pace and with quality.
  • Lead technical input into backlog refinement: break epics/features into well-defined user stories, clarify acceptance criteria, identify dependencies, and ensure work is delivery ready.
  • Support sprint planning by shaping technical approaches, identifying spikes, and helping the team size work appropriately.
  • Design, develop and implement primarily back-end features (Kotlin/Java APIs and services), with a small element of UI work using a simple UI framework.
  • Build and evolve APIs and microservices, applying consistent engineering patterns (error handling, logging, resilience, security-by-design).
  • Contribute to and support architectural and design decisions with the Tech Lead, documenting key decisions and trade-offs where needed.
  • Be capable of designing, building and delivering an in-house solution end to end from shaping the initial idea and requirements, through development, testing and ongoing support.
  • Coach and uplift the team in development best practice: clean code, test driven development, secure coding, and maintainable design.
  • Drive effective peer reviews and engineering standards, ensuring code quality, readability and attention to detail.
  • Work in an agile CI/CD environment to deliver rapid iterations at a sustainable velocity, promoting automation and quality gates.
  • Collaborate with developers, testers and the wider organisation to build, run and improve products.
  • Proactively engage with customers/users to resolve issues, respond to feature requests, and reduce recurring operational pain.

Skills & experience we require:
  • Strong Kotlin experience, or significant Java experience with a willingness to learn Kotlin.
  • Experience leading or acting as a senior engineer within an agile delivery team (squad-level technical leadership).
  • Proven ability to refine and decompose work (features into implementable stories), manage dependencies, and remove technical blockers.
  • Strong experience in microservices and API development, and asynchronous messaging technologies such as Kafka or similar event-driven platforms.
  • Experience in at least two or three of the following: API development, SQL/databases, HTML/JavaScript.
  • Strong technical and analytical troubleshooting skills, including production support mindset.
  • Experience with standard developer collaboration tools: GitHub/Bitbucket, Jira, Confluence.
  • Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to communicate technical decisions clearly.
  • Good interpersonal skills and a collaborative approach to working across roles (engineering, testing, product, control owners).
