Opportunity for a Principal Software Engineer to work for a retail company at the beginning of a large digital transformation on an initial 6-month contract outside IR35.

You’d report to the Head of Engineering and would work as part of a team of Principal Software Engineers responsible for collaborating with Architects and Product Owners to lead the re-architecture of existing platforms to a cloud-native, event-driven, microservices architecture.

Whilst there is no line management, you’d have full technical overview for your product domain including technology vision, strategy, workload and quality governance of the squads within it.

You’d also have the chance to lead R&D or impact analysis initiatives, where hands on rapid prototyping may be required.

Skills:

  • TypeScript (Node & React)
  • AWS
  • Event-driven MACH architecture
  • CI/CD

In return they're offering an initial 6-month outside IR35 contract paying up to £650/day.

Please note this role is onsite 4 days per week.
