UK Development Team Lead

About this role

Reset Health are looking for a Development Team Lead to guide our new Live Platforms development team, balancing hands-on technical delivery with day-to-day scrum master duties.

• Assist in designing and personally develop new platform capabilities requested by current customers. This will involve hands-on development in our React Native front end, Kotlin backend or both.

• Apply AI tools responsibly to deliver productivity benefits while maintaining full oversight.

• Champion strong technical standards and best-practise software engineering: code reviews, unit testing, CI/CD, secure software development.

• Take ownership of the Live Platform which comes with the right to challenge any code/change contributed by other teams that does not meet a Quality Standard you will be pivotal in agreeing.

• Support the recruitment and training of engineers as we grow the team.

• Manage 2nd line support for technical issues as per the Global support Standard Operating Procedure.

• As we grow, help plan out how we’ll evolve the Live Platforms to support our deployments in other timezones.
