We're supporting a fast-growing digital health and wellness platform looking to bring their technology development in-house for the first time. The product is already live and well-established, with thousands of users across mobile and web.
This is a unique opportunity for a
hands-on technical leader
— someone who can take ownership of a modern, scalable platform and help shape the future of engineering, product delivery, and team growth.
What You'll Be Doing
* Own the full technical stack (backend, mobile, cloud infrastructure)
* Lead the transition from external development partner to internal capability
* Introduce structure across delivery: roadmaps, backlog, release cycles
* Drive continuous improvement in product reliability, performance, and scalability
* Collaborate closely with the leadership team on product direction
* Play a key role in future hiring and team building
Tech Environment
* Backend:
Laravel (PHP), REST APIs
* Mobile:
Fully native (Kotlin for Android, Swift for iOS)
* Web:
Integrated with an LMS (planned to be replaced for improved UX)
* Cloud:
AWS (EC2, RDS serverless, S3, CloudFront)
* Tooling:
CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, automated testing
The stack is well-architected, secure, and scalable — now it needs leadership, structure, and future planning.
What We're Looking For
* Senior-level experience in
backend development
(ideally PHP / Laravel)
* Strong understanding of native mobile app development (Android/iOS)
* Familiarity with
AWS infrastructure
and DevOps best practices
* Experience leading teams or managing external vendors
* Confident working across engineering and product functions
* Strong communicator, able to collaborate with non-technical stakeholders
* Bonus: experience transitioning from outsourced to in-house development
