We’re partnering with a fast-growing healthtech company on a mission to transform primary care. Their platform supports hundreds of practices and millions of patients across Europe, helping teams spot risk earlier, act faster, and deliver care efficiently.

• Enable scale: Guide teams to implement robust technology, best practices, and frameworks to support rapid growth.
• Manage upwards & cross-functionally: Work closely with Product, Design, and Operations, influencing strategy at senior levels.
• Coach & develop engineers: Create clear growth paths, give constructive feedback, and help engineers reach their full potential.
• Own delivery: Ensure projects move quickly and predictably, keeping outcomes at the centre of every decision.

What You Bring

• 3+ years of engineering leadership in high-growth startups or scale-ups
• Experience managing distributed teams across multiple countries
• Proven ability to shape culture, implement processes, and scale technology effectively
• Healthtech experience is a strong plus

• Comfortable engaging in technical discussions without needing to code everything yourself
• Hands-on familiarity with Python, React, cloud environments (AWS preferred), distributed systems, and infrastructure as code
• Ability to balance speed with rigor - ship fast, rarely break things

What They Offer

• £120k salary + equity package

• Flexibility and independence to grow as the company does
• Private pension, generous leave policies, and a supportive environment
• Opportunity to build, mentor, and shape a team making a real difference in healthcare
