The Lead Developer will lead and architect the development and technical aspects for software development projects. The role will take shared responsibility for component architecture, advise on and oversee the output of other developers on the team. The candidate will work with the requirements provided by the Head of Development and other project owners, and with the resources and time as laid out by the Project Manager.

Projects will vary from complete site builds to new functionality on existing sites, both for public consumption and for internal use. Small amounts of client application work will also be necessary. Projects will be run concurrently involving different members of the team, and the ability to effectively collaborate with other Lead Developers and Developers is key.

Web project workflows will involve receiving and assessing specifications, wireframes and visual designs, and ensuring that different members of the team produce the following parts of the project:

·         Front-end code (HTML/CSS/Javascript)

·         CMS Tools (working with an established .Net CMS to configure content and configuration schema)

·         View/Business logic, using .Net

Responsibility will fall on the Lead Developer for ensuring interoperability of all components in a project, including their stability and reliability, and their ease of use and extension by other developers in the team. As such, an expert grasp on current and upcoming technologies and best practices is necessary, as is the ability to effectively educate other team members on the benefit and execution of new techniques.
