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
