The Role

We are seeking a Lead Software Engineer (Full Stack) to provide technical leadership across a TRG Screen product team. This is a hands-on role combining deep engineering expertise with ownership of technical direction, architecture, and delivery - working within a .NET-based full-stack environment that blends new feature development with improving and modernising complex, established systems. TRG Screen is an AI-driven engineering organisation, and this role is expected to champion that culture - setting the standard for how the team builds with AI and leading by example.

Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

• Lead technical vision and architecture across the team - own decisions on technology stack, design patterns, and system design.
• Establish and enforce coding standards, best practices, and development processes.
• Champion and role-model AI-assisted development across the team - driving adoption of AI tooling, spec-driven workflows, and responsible use of code-generation practices.

Development & Delivery

• Design, develop, and own complex full-stack initiatives, setting the standard for code quality and craftsmanship.
• Conduct rigorous code reviews, providing constructive feedback and ensuring adherence to clean code principles and design patterns.
• Champion automated testing practices and ensure system reliability, performance, and security through proactive monitoring and optimisation.
• Troubleshoot and resolve the most challenging technical issues, identifying root causes and implementing sustainable fixes.

Team Leadership & Collaboration

• Mentor and provide technical oversight for engineers, supporting their growth through guidance, code reviews, and unblocking.
• Build team capability through pairing, training, and documentation standards.
• Partner with Product Management to translate requirements into realistic technical solutions and timelines.
• Communicate technical decisions clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders; contribute to sprint planning and continuous improvement.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional software development experience, with strong expertise in C# and .NET Core.
• 3+ years in a technical leadership or senior engineer role, with a track record of mentoring engineers and owning technical direction.
• Strong knowledge of JavaScript and TypeScript, with experience in modern front-end frameworks (React, Angular, or similar) for building data-driven UIs.
• Deep understanding of software design principles with proven ability to make and document architectural decisions in large, complex codebases.
• Strong database skills with relational databases (SQL Server or PostgreSQL preferred).
• Proven track record of implementing comprehensive testing strategies and owning system reliability, performance, and security.
• Excellent communication skills and strategic thinking - able to influence technical decisions, work effectively with Product, and balance technical debt against delivery.

Preferred

• Experience with desktop agent or endpoint monitoring software.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure.
• Experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) as part of day-to-day engineering practice - this is how we build at TRG Screen.
• Familiarity with spec-driven development - using structured specifications to guide AI coding agents, preserve architectural intent, and validate generated output (e.g. BMAD, GitHub Spec-Kit).
