About The Role

We’re looking for a Tech Lead to spearhead the design and delivery of our next-generation digital healthcare platform. This isn’t just about writing code - it’s about setting the technical direction, coaching a growing team of engineers, and ensuring we build systems that scale, delight users, and stand the test of time.

We’re not just maintaining what exists - we’re rebuilding from the ground up. This is your opportunity to strip away technical debt, reimagine the platform, and lay down the foundations for a faster, smarter, and more resilient product.

This is a remote role accepting applications from candidates across Australia.

What You'll Own

• Set the technical direction and define the architecture for a scalable, secure, and reliable healthcare platform.
• Lead and mentor a team of engineers, fostering a high-performance, collaborative culture.
• Own key initiatives end-to-end, from technical design to implementation, deployment, and ongoing optimization.
• Partner with engineering leadership, product and design leads to shape roadmaps, prioritise trade-offs, and balance innovation with stability.
• Guide best practices in engineering, testing, and DevOps, ensuring our stack evolves with the business.
• Establish coding standards and conduct reviews that raise the bar for quality and maintainability.
• Champion performance, security, and compliance, especially in the context of sensitive health data.
• Advocate for technical excellence, while keeping an eye on delivery timelines and business impact.

What You’ll Need

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2+ years in a lead role.
• Proven track record in leading technical projects and mentoring teams.
• Expertise in Typescript, Node.js, and React, with the ability to make pragmatic trade-offs.
• Strong knowledge of system architecture, scaling, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.
• Deep understanding of security best practices, compliance, and data privacy regulations.
• A strong bias towards testing and building with quality from the start.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience in digital health, alternative medicine, or other highly regulated industries (preferred but not required).
