Tech Lead - Dispatching & Partner Integrations at Aurora

Aurora is hiring Tech Lead - Dispatching & Partner Integrations

here's something i've been meaning to write up for a while.
the transition from senior engineer to technical lead is one of the most under-supported career moves in software development. the skills are genuinely different. the politics are real. and the "unwritten rules" — the things nobody puts in a job description — can make or break a career.
i've been writing software since 1991. i'm a java champion. i've led teams at HMCTS, the home office, hm passport office. and i'm teaching everything i know this wednesday.

Starting Again at 59 — and Why That's the Most Honest Thing I've Ever Done
I decided to set it on fire. Change is the chance to reinvent like Madonna, Prince or Lady Gaga. Blog:

#TechLead #JavaChampion #CareerGrowth #SoftwareEngineering #LeadershipTips #Java

honest question for the Java devs:
when you got promoted to tech lead — did anyone actually explain what that meant?
or did you just get a Jira board, a broken standup, and a delivery manager asking for status updates every morning?
I'm a Java Champion with 25 years experience. this Wednesday I'm teaching the things that don't make it into job descriptions.

Full Stack Engineering Team Lead- Hands on at Vim

Vim is hiring Full Stack Engineering Team Lead- Hands on

Hello Folks

Tuesday 26th May 2026. Here is my last week of contract at HMCTS. I am actively looking for my next contract preferably Outside IR35. I am a Technical Lead / Principal Engineer. I help teams with migration to Java 21 / 26. The current tech stack conmsists of Microsoft Azure, Angular, Kubernetes and is definitely cloud-native. I worked on an old CQRS / BPM implementation very recently, which was built on Jakarta EE stack. You got it Eventual Consistency, Event Sourcing and View Storage. The databases tend to me relational Postgresql and some clients (years ago) have stuck entire JSON entries into a row, I have seen those with the attempted LiquidBase headaches.

I have ACTIVE SC CLEARANCE (HMCTS / Ministry of Justice \o/)

I can commute from Milton Keynes to central London (1 or 2 days per month)
