Job description

Looking for a lead role where you can make a positive impact on people’s lives? This is one of those rare opportunities where the projects you work on can help someone with early detection of cancer or fertility.

About the Company:

  • This medtech scale up is based near the border of Wales and England and there’s flexibility for remote working.  They go into the office once per week/fortnight in their Monmouthshire HQ and also meet in shared offices in Bristol.
  • They are huge advocates for Women in STEM with a female CEO and founder.
  • There is a strong L&D culture; they have a budget for learning new skills and an R&D day every last Friday of the month where the team work on things that interest them.

 

About the role:

  • This is a varied role in a small team, which means you’ll have a nice range of responsibilities. 
  • The main responsibility is coding, so you’ll work on a mix of greenfield and existing projects in React, TypeScript and PHP Slim (70% React and 30% PHP)
  • This role is suitable for either an established lead or a solid senior who wants to move into leadership.
  • You will be leading one engineer so the role is very much hands on with coding.

About you:

  • Personality fit is just as important as technical capability for this company. As a small, close-knit team, they are super collaborative and are looking for someone to contribute to their nurturing and fun culture.
  • You’ll have lots of ideas and be open to sharing them.  You can be really influential within this company and they invite the team to shape the technical direction of the products.
  • You’re a full stack developer with a focus on the front end, but happy to roll up your sleeves and work on back end development and cloud infrastructure too.
