Lead Software Engineer / Tech Lead – Fitness & Wellbeing Technology
Barbican & Epsom | Hybrid (1 day/week in office) | Permanent, Full-Time (37.5 hrs/wk)
We're working with one of the UK's largest healthcare and fitness organisations as they re-platform their entire Fitness & Wellbeing technology ecosystem! They are building a best-in-class member app, paperless onboarding, self-service accounts, and end-to-end automated payments and member management.
They're looking for an experienced Lead Software Engineer / Tech Lead to own technical direction across a workstream spanning Digital, Integrations, Salesforce and Data Engineering.
This is a high-impact, design-and-standards role supporting millions of member interactions - not a line management position (IC role)
