Lead Developer / Lead Systems Engineer
Location: Bristol (East) | Mainly office-based
Salary: c. £40,000 – £45,000 DOE
Type: Permanent
We’re working with a growing digital agency that is building out a dedicated systems and integrations team to support a major long-term client project.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a Senior Developer who is ready to step into a Lead role, or an existing Lead Developer / Systems Engineer who enjoys owning complex technical projects from the ground up.
The role will sit across a large-scale ERP takeover, CRM implementation, systems integration and custom middleware work. You’ll be responsible for helping shape the technical approach, leading a small team of developers, and acting as the technical bridge between internal leadership, the wider agency team and the end client.
The project will involve taking ownership of an existing SQL-based ERP system, helping migrate/transition the platform into a newly managed environment, and integrating it with wider business systems including CRM, telephony, accountancy tools and other third-party platforms.
What you’ll be doing:
- Leading a small systems/software development team
- Taking ownership of a major ERP transition and integration project
- Working heavily with SQL-based systems
- Building and integrating custom middleware
- Working with CRMs, APIs and third-party software platforms
- Supporting wider full-stack development work when required
- Liaising with internal stakeholders and helping shape technical delivery
- Supporting the agency’s wider development team on selected projects
What we’re looking for:
- Strong hands-on SQL experience
- Solid full-stack development background
- Experience with APIs, integrations and middleware
- Exposure to CRM, ERP or business systems projects
- Ability to understand complex legacy systems and modernise/integrate them
- Good knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and common web technologies
- Previous experience in an agency or fast-paced project environment would be useful
- Comfortable taking technical ownership and supporting other developers
- Circa 5 years working experience
You don’t need to be a Magento specialist, but any exposure to Magento, ecommerce platforms or similar systems would be a bonus.
This would suit someone who enjoys solving messy technical problems, working across multiple systems, and taking a lead role in a business-critical project.
Working pattern: Mainly office-based, with some flexibility when needed. There may also be occasional travel to client/vendor sites as part of the project.
