Location: UK - Hybrid / Remote Working

A few words about us:

We deliver innovation with a purpose. With expertise across experience design, technology and marketing, our passion is in addressing transformational business challenges for our clients. Challenges where we re-imagine the customer journey and build new connected experiences. Challenges where we make data work in this new era and help our clients transform the way they operate and optimise business-critical digital platforms for multichannel commerce and marketing.

From discovery to optimisation, clients trust Valtech to remove complexity and deliver innovative, frictionless solutions that close the experience gap between customer expectation and reality. We are a network of more than 5,000 makers, thinkers, marketers, creatives, and developers spanning 5 continents with 50+ offices in 22 countries.

The Role:

As a Senior Full Stack Technical Lead you will be responsible for coaching, mentoring and enabling teams to successfully deliver software across a range of different problem domains. You will leverage your technical excellence to help establish strong working relationships both internally and within the organisations of our customers.

You will be able to adapt to a quickly changing environment, whether that be being hands on one day, pairing with, supporting and getting the most out of other developers, or translating business requirements into a technical model. You should be able to seek out opportunity and use your autonomy to help drive the best outcomes for Valtech and our customers.  

What you will be doing:

Each day you will be facing interesting questions about the implementation of large-scale software systems that need to handle challenges of scaling, resilience and performance.

You will continue to develop expertise both in technology and the means to communicate complex concepts and rationale to non-techies. We’ll encourage and support this with frequent opportunities to share ideas internally and externally at regional, national and global conferences.

Being effective in software delivery isn’t all about the code, you will also be:

• Participating in workshops to help identify and refine user requirements
• Writing acceptance tests and understanding Behaviour Driven Development principles
• Developing responsive web applications and familiarity with the challenges involved

• Team development in integrated environments using managed source control systems such as Git.

• You will be a technical leader, programmer, mentor and role model, confident leading and directing a team and liaising with customers
• You will be keen to learn, experiment and innovate with a range of established and new technologies
• The quality of your work is proven by the outcomes it realizes and the capability it gives to the customer, their customers, and the learning it shares with the rest of our organisation
• In this role there is an emphasis on team work and collaboration with all stakeholders on a project both internally and with customers
• You will be a confident facilitator comfortable both listening to and sharing technical ideas.
• The solutions will be full lifecycle projects and your involvement will be central to the success at each phase of the lifecycle.

Our preferred candidate:

You will be passionate about architecting and developing best in class digital solutions. You will be an advocate for clean code and have the versatility to work on the Front End, Back End and Dev Ops.

Our current Stack is: C# .Net Core, JavaScript, React JS, Vue JS, HTML5, AWS, Azure, GCP.

The sort of person who is right for the role isn’t definable by the tools or libraries they use – they can absorb the appropriate technologies at the right time. We adapt our stack for the projects we work on and you will need to be able to move with the times and absorb the appropriate technologies at the right time.

If you have something to say drawn from your previous experience, or if you have something you can teach us – we are particularly keen to hear from you.

We are looking for someone with a maker mentality, who wants to join a company full of diverse, intelligent, and talented people. Someone who wants to shake things up and fill their days with problem-solving, innovation and phenomenal client projects.

What can you expect from us:

At Valtech you’ll become part of our exceptional team of more than 5,000 talented innovators, design thinkers, marketers, creatives, and engineers. We interact across countries, disciplines, trades, roles and teams. We are consultants before anything else and take ownership of our own work, clients, and careers. We provide everyone with a large degree of freedom - in return, we expect an equally high degree of accountability and dedication. We transform by doing and are insanely passionate about improving the end user experience. We are a people company. We share our knowledge and learnings, we dare to speak up and take risks. And we care deeply about one another, our clients, and the world around us.

We have from our very beginning always worked hard on providing everyone within our organisation the opportunity to grow and transform their job opportunities and career paths across the world. From graduates to seasoned professionals who are experts in their field. Valtech will always be recognised not just for the quality of the work we deliver, but for all the amazing people that make it happen. We don’t just talk about how to get things done; we really do transform by doing.

As part of this work, we’re sharing an optional anonymous survey with you after your application. This survey will help us better understand the people who apply to work at Valtech. It'll help us see how different demographics progress through our hiring process, and where we need to make improvements to give them a better chance of succeeding. If you choose to fill it out, all of the information you give us is: 

• Voluntary. And we've included a "prefer not to say" option for every question. It'd be helpful if you still fill out the survey even if you choose "prefer not to say" for every question, as it's useful for us to understand & record this. We won't know if you choose to fill this survey in or not
• Anonymous to Valtech. We can't tie your responses to you and they won't make a difference to the outcome of your application. We'll only use grouped responses for equal opportunities monitoring in our hiring process

For more information on how we'll use this data, please read our candidate privacy notice. 

By filling out the survey, you agree that we can use your responses for the purposes we've mentioned above.
