Backend Technical Lead

There are estimated to be more than 5.6 million people in the UK living with diabetes, around 90% of whom have type 2 diabetes.

With this number increasing year after year, I’m excited to have partnered with an incredible clinical organisation that has helped a huge number of people across the globe improve their health and lifespan. They achieve this by combining expert talent with cutting-edge technology to provide top-notch service and medical results.

The Company:

Reset Health supports people with type 2 diabetes and obesity in taking charge of their health quickly, simply, and affordably. They use their platform, Roczen, to combine medical expertise, smart technology, and personal support.

Their programmes focus on time-restricted eating (TRE) and intermittent fasting (IF), along with nutritional, behavioural, and exercise guidance to create personalised plans.

The Roczen Programme is delivered through a digital platform with regular video consultations with clinical staff. Their team includes Doctors, Nurses, Dietitians, and Psychologists, supported by their Mentor community.

The Role:

I'm on the look out for a permanent Backend Technical Lead with deep expertise in Java, preferably Kotlin, and extensive experience with the Spring framework, particularly within a microservices architecture.

This role requires both hands-on technical work and leadership responsibilities.

As a Backend Technical Lead, you will take charge of technical aspects, including code reviews, task delegation, and prioritisation. Your experience in leading teams and making technical decisions will be crucial. You will oversee a group of remote developers, ensuring effective collaboration and progress.

The position is remote within the UK, though occasional travel to our London office may be required a couple of times a year.

The Tech:

They have mobile apps (React Native) for iOS and Android and a web app (React), this was initially launched in 2022 and since we have developed the platform further.

As their patient base grows there is a need to develop further functionality that will benefit both their patients and their clinical team. The Backend is a microservices architecture using Kubernetes, MongoDB, RabbitMQ and deployed in AWS. The Backend is written in Kotlin using the Spring Framework.

Key skillset I'm looking for:

• Java
• Microservices architecture
• REST
• Spring Framework
• MongoDB
• Unit Testing

Desirable skills:

• Kotlin
• Docker
• Kubernetes

Reset Health has built a strong collaborative culture. In this Technical Lead role, you’ll work closely with the UX team, Business Analyst, Technical Architect, and another Tech Lead, all based in the UK. Some developers on your team will be located outside the UK, so some overlap with UK working hours will be necessary.

Being a start-up, Reset Health offers numerous growth opportunities. So, along with the desire to grow professionally, I'm looking for strong problem solvers who can thrive in smaller teams. If you’re a detail-oriented thinker with excellent interpersonal skills and a drive to succeed, I’d love to talk to you!

What's on offer:

Along with opportunity to have your work make a real positive impact within the medical sector, this position can offer the following benefits.

• Up to £80,000 (BOE)
• Company shares
• Flexible working arrangements
• Contributory pension scheme
• 25 days annual leave (excluding bank holidays)
