Principal Software Engineer | Front End | React | TypeScript | Next.js | AWS | Kubernetes | FinTech | Finance | Manchester | Hybrid | £75,000+
Are you a Senior/Principal Engineer who loves solving complex technical problems at scale?
Do you enjoy influencing architecture, mentoring engineers, and driving engineering standards across high-performing teams?
Want to work on a platform used by hundreds of thousands of customers across the UK?
If so, this one could be VERY exciting…
I’m currently supporting one of our long-standing technology clients as they continue to scale their engineering function following a sustained period of growth
Operating within the FinTech space, this is a business that has firmly cemented itself as a major player within the UK market over the past two decades
They’re now looking for a Principal Front-End Engineer to help shape the future direction of their customer-facing platform, working across architecture, solution design, technical strategy, and engineering best practice.
This is NOT the kind of role where you’ll just sit in endless meetings and review pull requests all day…
They need someone who still enjoys being technically hands‑on, while also acting as a technical leader and mentor across the wider engineering function.
You’ll be joining a business with:
- A genuinely strong engineering culture
- Significant investment into technology
- Collaborative, people‑first leadership
- Huge scope to influence technical direction
Desired experience:
Frontend / Architecture:
- Spring Boot
- Kafka
- MongoDB
- Redis
- ElasticSearch
Experience within regulated environments / financial services would be highly beneficial, but the business is equally focused on finding someone with strong communication skills, leadership qualities, and the ability to positively influence engineering teams.
Package:
- Starting salary from £75,000
- Hybrid working (3 days a week in Manchester)
- Additional benefits available upon request
This is genuinely a brilliant opportunity for an experienced engineer looking to step into a highly influential role within a business that truly values technology.
