Senior Director of Engineering – Leading Global HealthTech Innovator
Series B | £40M+ Backing | London (Hybrid, 2 Days Onsite)
We’re proud to be working with a trailblazer in the HealthTech sector – a global force backed by significant Series B investment – as they search for a seasoned Director of Engineering with a solid software engineering background to drive innovation, scale teams, and shape the next chapter of their technical journey.
Your Mission:
As a key member of the leadership team, you’ll take the reins of the engineering organisation – 100-strong and growing – and steer it through an exciting phase of expansion and transformation. This is more than a management role; it’s a chance to architect meaningful change in a mission-driven environment.
You’ll be responsible for:
* Heading up cross-functional engineering teams (Software, QA, Architecture) in a fast-moving, technically intricate environment.
* Collaborating closely with other senior leaders across Product, Growth, Sales and Finance to align on the product roadmap and deliver strategic business capabilities.
* Championing best-in-class engineering practices, from DevOps to CI/CD, security, automation and infrastructure as code.
* Helping shape the architecture behind a platform trusted by some of the biggest names in the industry.
* Coaching and mentoring at scale, helping future leaders emerge from within while fostering a high-performing, curious and collaborative engineering culture.
What We're Looking For
This isn’t your first rodeo. You’re an established engineering leader who’s:
* Built and scaled high-performing teams in high-growth environments.
* Firmly established with a software engineering background
* Operated at scale, balancing agility with security, stability and reliability on global platforms.
* Able to lead from the front on tech strategy while still being technically credible and curious – you're comfortable diving deep when needed.
* Proficient across a range of tools and technologies, ideally including: AWS, .NET, Node, TypeScript, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and TDD.
* Comfortable navigating ambiguity, solving complex problems across people, processes and platforms.
* Passionate about performance, operational excellence and continuous improvement.
Why Join?
You’ll be stepping into a pivotal role at a company that’s already impacting lives at scale – and poised to go even further. The culture is purpose-led, the team is top-tier, and the opportunity to leave a lasting mark is huge.
