Job Type: Full Time, 37.5 hours a week
Nourish Care provides a digital solution to the health and social care sector which improves the process of recording, analysing, and sharing of information. We seek to enhance and simplify care in equal measures; to harness the power of care management software to improve the lives of people who need care and those who provide it.
We are in the midst of one of the most exciting times in our history and while we are the current market leader in the sector, we will not be complacent. We are dedicated to our purpose of a better life for everyone. We continue to revolutionise the care sector and our incredible employees are what make this possible.
We are looking for an experienced Tech Lead to lead our Integrations Team. This role combines hands-on technical leadership with people management and architectural ownership.
You will be accountable for the technical direction, delivery quality, and ongoing evolution of our Integrations layer, which synchronises data between our rostering and care delivery platforms and integrates those systems with third-party partners.
This is a true Tech Lead role with a ~70/30 split between hands-on development and leadership responsibilities.
What You'll Be Accountable For
Owning the technical direction and architecture of the Integrations platform
Making pragmatic technical decisions and trade-offs with scalability, performance, and maintainability in mind
Ensuring non-functional requirements are met (reliability, observability, resilience, performance)
Continuous learning is actively supported through books, courses, certifications, and other resources
Backend: PHP (Symfony) and Python, MySQL/PostgreSQL
Frontend: Vue.js (though most of the Integrations stack is headless)
Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes
Our systems handle thousands of requests per minute and manage databases with hundreds of millions of records. We design and architect with scalability-first principles, use caching extensively, and integrate with third-party services.
Required Experience
All positions at Nourish are subject to a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check, references and receipt of the appropriate Right to Work documents.
Nourish is proud to be an equal opportunities employer and we actively seek and embrace differences in thinking, experience, ethnicity, age, gender, faith, personalities and styles. The different skills, experiences and backgrounds our employees bring to their roles creates a diverse and makes Nourish a special place to work.
