🚀 Founding Engineer / Technical Lead
Location: Hybrid (London HQ + Remote role with occasional travel) MUST BE UK BASED
Sector: HealthTech / Fitness / Wellbeing
G.Digital are thrilled and excited to be working with this ambitious, early-stage tech company on a mission to reinvent how people experience personal training and wellbeing. They already have a proven desktop platform in-market, and are ready to take things to the next level — launching a consumer app, scaling the technology, and building a product that truly changes lives.
We’re looking for a Founding Engineer to join these guys and be part of a unique opportunity to combine hands-on coding with strategic vision, shaping the technical direction and building the engineering team from day one.
🔧 What You’ll Do
* Build and ship: Take ownership of the end-to-end engineering process, from coding and architecture to deployment and monitoring.
* Scale the product: Deliver a mobile app to complement the desktop platform, ensuring both scale smoothly as we grow.
* Grow the team: Recruit, mentor, and inspire a high-performing engineering team.
* Define the roadmap: Work alongside the founders to shape product strategy and long-term technical vision.
* Own the stack: Make technology decisions that balance speed, scalability, and security.
* Champion innovation: Stay across emerging tools and approaches, ensuring we always stay ahead of the curve.
🎯 About You
* Experienced full-stack engineer, confident in delivering complex mobile or web applications.
* Strong background in modern frameworks, cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), and scalable architecture.
* Comfortable as both an individual contributor and team builder, you love coding but also know how to grow a tech function.
* Strategic thinker with an entrepreneurial mindset, excited to shape the direction of a high-growth business.
* Previous start-up or founding experience a bonus, but not required, what matters is your ambition and drive.
💡 What they Offer
* Founding team role with significant responsibility, autonomy, and influence.
* Competitive salary with meaningful equity options after 12 months - they want you to be invested in the journey.
* The chance to scale a proven platform into a category-defining product.
* A purpose-driven mission where your work will directly improve people’s health and wellbeing.
* Hybrid flexibility, with the energy and collaboration of in-person sessions in London.
