Role
Who you are
- Full-Stack Mastery: Extensive professional experience with Java (Spring Boot) and React. You should have a deep understanding of modern frontend patterns and backend microservices
- Cloud Expertise: Solid experience building and deploying on AWS, including serverless components and data pipelines
- Distributed Leadership: Proven experience leading and enabling remote or nearshore teams. You know how to maintain velocity and quality when the team isn't in the same room
- Consultative Mindset: The ability to build trust quickly and provide technical leadership during moments of rapid growth
- Media/Ad-Tech (Advantageous): Experience in high-volume data streaming or programmatic advertising platforms is a significant plus
What the job involves
- Reporting to: Delivery Lead / Client Services Director
- We are looking for a Principal Engineer to take the technical helm of a high-profile project for one of our cornerstone clients—a global leader in media and entertainment
- As a Lead, you won't just be overseeing delivery; you’ll be the technical heartbeat of a mission-critical platform that powers advertising and audience insights on a global scale
- This role is perfect for a hands-on technical expert who enjoys the challenge of scaling complex cloud-native architectures while fostering a high-performance culture across distributed teams
- Hands-on Engineering: Lead by example. You will remain hands-on, committing high-quality code in Java and React while ensuring the platform is scalable, secure, and performant
- Architectural Stewardship: Work closely with Technical Architects to ensure the long-term health of our AWS-based ecosystem, making pragmatic decisions that balance speed-to-market with technical excellence
- Engineering Culture: Set the "gold standard" for engineering routines. From robust CI/CD pipelines to insightful code reviews, you will drive a culture of technical pride
- Distributed Team Growth: Act as the bridge between our London-based stakeholders and our Nearshore development teams. You will be responsible for creating a "one-team" environment, ensuring high code quality and consistency across geographical boundaries
- Mentorship: Support the growth of ANDis and client developers alike, fostering a high-achieving environment through coaching and peer reviews
- Collaborative Influence: Navigate a multi-faceted stakeholder landscape. You’ll be equally comfortable discussing API design with engineers as you are discussing roadmap priorities and business value with Product Owners and Senior Executives

Our take
As the need for digital transformation continues to grow, many organisations find themselves lacking the skills to keep up. AND Digital has stepped in to help bridge this gap, with a clear mission to close the world's digital skills shortage. Rather than simply delivering digital solutions, they focus on helping businesses understand how to work digitally, so they can continue to grow and adapt long after a project is finished.
The company is standing out from the crowd too, by working alongside their clients instead of working for them. Combining their own people with client teams into one collaborative unit, they identify challenges, build digital products, and share skills throughout the process, so clients can take full ownership of their apps, websites, and future digital work.
Unsurprisingly, this approach has had a strong impact and continues to drive AND Digital's growth. With cross-functional teams across the UK, the Netherlands, and the US East Coast, the company scales based on demand. And their city-based 'Club' model blends local, personalised service with the strength of a global organisation, putting AND Digital in a strong position for the future.
