Job Title: Principal Developer & Team Lead

Salary: £51,400 – £68,800

Location: Cambridge/Hybrid with 40-60% of time in the office

Contract: Permanent

Hours: Full time 35 hours per week

As a team lead with strong technical instincts  you’re ready to take the next step with more scope, more shaping of what gets built, more influence over how things are done but you’re not ready to put down your tools.

We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.

You’ll lead transitions taking place in our organisation: migrating legacy enterprise applications to cloud-native AWS architectures, while helping us establish two practices from close to scratch including Site Reliability Engineering and AI development.

About the role 

Alongside that broader technical leadership, you’ll be the principal developer on a focused project within the programme deep ownership of a specific delivery, hands-in-the-code, designing and building it end-to-end. You’ll spend most of your time close to the code: setting direction, setting the standard in design and review, and writing code alongside the team.

You’ll also be the line manager for a small team of developers. We’re not looking for a fully formed people leader we’re looking for someone who cares about the people around them and wants to grow into that part of the role. You’ll have support and development to grow into it over time.

The bulk of your focus is on the technical work. You’ll be the principal developer on a focused project within the migration programme your own delivery to design, build and own. Around that, you’ll lead the wider migration to AWS, build the DevOps automation and observability that lets SRE practices take hold, and establish the standards for how we use AI responsibly in education products. You’ll set the technical bar through code reviews, design conversations and your own contributions not from a distance.

On the team side, you’ll be the line manager for a small team of developers: one-to-ones, development conversations, helping people find their next step. As you settle in, you’ll take on more of the wider people work recruitment, performance, identifying where the team needs to grow in AI/ML and SRE. We’ll support you to learn this side of the role; we don’t expect you to arrive with it fully formed.

You’ll deliver in agile squads alongside architects, product owners, technical leads, SREs and infrastructure teams, and you’ll be the technical voice in stakeholder conversations about what’s possible.

This position has been classified as a hybrid role, requiring the selected candidate to typically spend 40-60% of their time collaborating and connecting face-to-face at their dedicated location. Aside from our hybrid principles, other flexible working requests will be considered from the first day of employment, including other work arrangements should you require adjustments due to a disability or long-term health condition.

About You 

A current or recent team lead ready to step up technically. The bar that matters most: 

• You’ve led developers before, formally or informally, and people have grown around you
• You’re fluent in two or more modern languages and you still write code regularly
• You’ve worked with AWS (or an equivalent cloud) in anger not just touched it
• You understand CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and what observability actually means in production
• You can hold a conversation about event-driven architecture, microservices and security in cloud environments at a level beyond the textbook
• You communicate clearly with engineers and non-engineers, and you’re open to growing the people-leadership side of the role with support

If you meet the above minimum requirements, we encourage you to apply. Your application will be even stronger if you can also demonstrate the following desirable criteria:

• Hands-on exposure to AI/ML in production systems
• Experience helping establish SRE or observability practice early on
• A track record of modernising legacy systems without breaking them

What this role offers someone taking the next step

Genuine scope from the start you’ll be shaping the SRE function and AI practice, not inheriting someone else’s blueprint, while owning a focused project as principal developer that keeps you firmly in the code. A small team to lead and learn from. A leadership team that expects you to stay close to the code, and that will support you to grow as a people leader at your own pace. And work that has real reach the systems you help build serve millions of learners, teachers and researchers worldwide.

Job Title: Lead Software Architect

Salary: £68,600 to £91,700

Location: Cambridge, UK – Hybrid

Contract: Permanent

Hours: Full time, 35 Hours Per Week

Are you enthusiastic about shaping technology that delivers impact at scale?

As we continue to evolve our digital platforms to support learners, lecturers and researchers around the world, we are looking to appoint an experienced and motivated Lead Software Architect to join our Academic Technology group here at Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world‑leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.

This is a fantastic opportunity to play a meaningful role in shaping the technical foundations of globally used digital products, ensuring they remain scalable, secure and fit for the future.

About the role 

As Lead Software Architect, you will be accountable for owning the software architecture and engineering delivery across a product or platform vertical within our Academic Technology group.

Working at the intersection of solution architecture, product and engineering, you will translate solution designs and product priorities into well‑architected, shippable software, ensuring that technical direction is sound and delivery is sustained from planning through to production and live operation.

You will provide technical leadership across the full engineering lifecycle, including backend and frontend architecture, infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines and operational readiness. While this is not primarily a hands‑on coding role, it requires a strong engineering background and the ability to review code, challenge design decisions, unblock engineers and engage directly where it adds value.

A core aspect of the role is leading the adoption of AI‑enhanced engineering practices. You will shape how teams use AI‑assisted tooling across planning, development and quality assurance, focusing on responsible, practical use that measurably improves delivery quality, throughput and maintainability.

You will work closely with Solution Architects, Product Owners and UX colleagues to ensure requirements are technically feasible, well specified and correctly decomposed, acting as the key technical bridge between solution intent and engineering execution.

Additional responsibilities and accountabilities:

• Owning the software architecture for an assigned product or platform area, ensuring solutions support both current delivery and future scalability.
• Driving engineering delivery from planning through to production, translating solution designs into implementable engineering plans with clear scope, dependencies and sequencing.
• Providing technical leadership and direction to distributed engineering teams, including Far shore, near shore and contract resources.
• Removing technical blockers, making pragmatic trade‑off decisions and keeping delivery on track.
• Defining and upholding technical standards, patterns and engineering conventions.
• Leading the adoption of AI‑assisted software development practices and tooling across engineering teams.
• Owning operational readiness, including infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and developer experience.
• Evaluating technology and tooling choices, including build‑vs‑buy decisions, with clear and defensible rationale.

This position has been classified as a hybrid role, requiring the selected candidate to typically spend 40-60% of their time collaborating and connecting face-to-face at their dedicated location. Aside from our hybrid principles, other flexible working requests will be considered from the first day of employment, including other work arrangements should you require adjustments due to a disability or long-term health condition.

About You 

As a senior software architecture or engineering leader, you will have a proven record of owning complex platforms or digital products end‑to‑end. You will be confident operating across technical and non‑technical audiences, bringing sound judgement, strong communication skills and a pragmatic approach to decision‑making.

You will have experience translating product and solution designs into engineering delivery, leading distributed teams, and balancing technical quality with delivery pace in complex environments.

If you meet the above minimum requirements, we encourage you to apply.

Your application will be even stronger if you can also demonstrate experience in content platforms, education technology, modern web technology stacks, or introducing new engineering tools and practices.
