We are a technology business operating in the global energy sector.

ENSEK have become the go-to option for top energy suppliers across the globe. Why? Because our technology is a significant step change away from the legacy systems that have historically dominated the market. It’s also massively cheaper to adopt the ENSEK solution, with no loss in customer service or standards.

But by far the biggest reason why ENSEK is the best choice in energy supplier software, is because of the people who work here and their endless enthusiasm, energy, and the way they support their colleagues. All our clients comment on what great people we have. Our people are our superpower.

That is where you come in.

ROLE SUMMARY:

At the forefront of technical decision making whilst managing the performance and professional development of a team of talented technologists, our Lead Software Engineers are key to our ongoing success.    

Looking after a team of Engineers, you’ll be utilising Agile methodologies to deliver high-quality software on a fortnightly cadence. Collaborating with Product Owners, Project Managers and fellow Lead Software Engineers, your ability to communicate effectively will help influence the strategic growth of our SaaS platform.  

Our Lead Software Engineers are proficient in coding but are aware that their ability to coach and mentor their teams is invaluable compared to their ability to churn through code on their own.

2. Responsible for the fortnightly technical output of a Product / Project Team 
3. Collaborating with Product Owners on tactical delivery and planning with Product Managers the strategic long-term goals of the Product

2.  Agile. Using a myriad of Agile tools and communicative prowess, you can conjure-up clarity from ambiguity. Believing in the delivery of small, iterative increments to mitigate risk, you know how to break down requirements into bitesize deliverables. 

SOFT SKILLS:

1. Organised. It can be fast moving here. You’ll need to be able to flex, to meet short term demands, but also lead your team by example, with an organised, prioritised and structured working approach in evidence.  
2. Leader. You’ll identify yourself as a technology leader with prior experience empowering a and running a small direct team of software engineers. You will prioritise their workload and coach them towards on time and quality delivery.
