IT Lead

Are you an experienced software engineer ready to combine hands-on development with technical leadership? Do you enjoy designing solutions, making technical decisions and helping other engineers grow? Join Aon and take a leading role in building and developing a technology platform used by millions of users!

This is a hybrid role based in Poland, offering flexibility to work both virtually and from an Aon office in line with our local smart working policy.

Aon is in the business of better decisions

At Aon, we shape decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world.

What the day will look like

As an IT Lead, you will lead a team of engineers working across Germany and India. This is a hands-on role where you will set technical direction as you also contribute to solution build, development and code reviews.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include

• Leading the end-to-end delivery of your team's work, from solution design and implementation through testing and release.
• Interpreting product requirements to develop clear technical solutions, considering dependencies across the wider platform and ensuring solutions are scalable and maintainable.
• Contributing hands-on to development and technical build using C#, .NET, SQL, JavaScript and React, while leading build and peer evaluations.
• Supporting strong engineering practices across APIs, automated testing, CI/CD and software architecture, while managing technical risks and dependencies.
• Leading, mentoring and coaching engineers, fostering their progress and working closely with Business Analysts, QA, DevOps, Solution Architects and Project Managers.
• Using AI tools in day-to-day engineering work, including design, development, code review and documentation, and helping the team use these tools effectively and responsibly.

How this opportunity is different

This opportunity gives you the chance to stay close to technology while taking the next step in technical leadership.

You will have ownership of technical decisions and delivery while continuing to work hands-on with the engineering team. You will help shape solutions for a complex platform, support engineers in their development and work closely with teams across different locations and technical fields.

It is a great opportunity for an expert engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems and wants to have a wider impact on both technology and the people delivering it.

Skills and experience that will lead to success

6–8 years of software engineering experience, with experience leading, mentoring or coordinating other engineers and a clear progression towards technical leadership.

Strong hands-on experience with C#, ASP.NET/.NET Core/MVC, SQL, JavaScript and React, together with a solid understanding of software develop and architecture.

Experience translating business or product requirements into technical solutions and taking ownership of complex development from design through delivery.

Strong experience with APIs, system integrations and database design, including querying, schema design and query optimisation.

Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to provide technical direction, mentor engineers and work effectively across international teams.

Experience with Azure, AKS/Kubernetes, Azure DevOps CI/CD, OpenAPI governance, globally distributed engineering teams or building products from scratch would be an advantage.
