Job Description:

Join one of the UK’s fastest-growing, most beloved consumer platforms on a mission to make home cooking joyful, simple, and nourishing. With £5M+ in annual recurring revenue, a 130,000+ strong subscriber base, and no external funding pressures, this team is scaling a category-defining product that blends media, tech, and food into one seamless experience.

? Why this role?

This is a high-impact leadership position at the heart of a growing engineering org. You’ll start off hands-on (75% IC), leading critical builds across a modern stack, before transitioning into a team leadership role as the team grows (managing 4 engineers by year-end).

Expect to influence tech strategy, shape culture, and ship features that impact hundreds of thousands of users each week.

? The Role

As Lead Fullstack Engineer, you'll:

• Own architecture and delivery across a modular, cross-platform system (Web & Mobile)
• Collaborate daily with Product, Design, Content, and QA to shape what gets built
• Mentor and lead a growing team of engineers, supporting their development and performance
• Work across personalised meal planning, AI-driven tools, content workflows, and partner integrations
• Frontend: React, Next.js
• Backend: Node.js, TypeScript (some PHP)
• Mobile: Flutter (This isn't essential)
• Infra: AWS, modular services, automated CI/CD
• Minor CMS (PHP) used for editorial — not central to the role

? The Team

You’ll report into the Head of Engineering and lead a tight-knit product team of engineers, PMs, QA, BA, and design — all in-house and collaborative. The team is scaling fast to meet product demand.

? What You’ll Get

• Equity in a high-growth, profitable business
• 30 days holiday + UK bank holidays
• Meaningful autonomy and ownership
• A mission-led product with a passionate user base
• Fast-paced, supportive culture with a real appetite to ship

? Working Setup

Hybrid: 3 days/week in the London HQ (flexible on which days)

If you're an engineer that wants to build a platform that users genuinely love — this is your chance

No VC pressure. No buzzwords. Just great people building something real.
