The Vacancy

As the UK’s leading dementia research charity, we’re determined to stop this from becoming a reality. We’re working to revolutionise the way we treat, diagnose and prevent dementia. But we will not stop there. With your support, we will keep going until every person is free from the heartbreak of dementia. We exist for a cure. In order to make this happen, we need to operate with best in class Digital and Technology tools and platforms.

So, join us as we embark on a major journey of transformation across our digital, data, and technology offering! The Lead Software Engineer will play a critical, hands-on role in shaping this future.

We are investing in a new website platform that will provide an improved user experience, be built and operated using modern Tech (e.g. React, headless CMS, CI/CD) and be a foundation for continued future optimisation. The website will unlock the ability to attract more users (via increased visibility on search engines and repeat visits) and increase the number of people donating online for a cure.

This role will be the senior technology team member on the new website project team, ensuring that the solution designed and delivered primarily by our website development partner is using modern approaches and tools. In addition, this person will actively take part in the development and test of the website platform and ultimately be the internal technical owner of the platform for ARUK.

The post holder will report into the CIO but work day to day with the Digital Engagement team to deliver the new website platform.

This is a 24-month fixed term contract.

MAIN DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:

Act as the internal technical owner of the new website platform, providing strong technical leadership, governance, and assurance across its design, build, and operation.
Provide technical oversight and direction to the appointed Digital / website development partner, ensuring best practice engineering approaches, tooling, and standards are applied throughout delivery.
Own and make key technical design decisions, ensuring the website platform:

o Uses modern web and cloud‑native technologies (e.g. React, headless architecture).

o Uses modern technical approaches for code management, build and deployment pipelines (CI/CD).

o Aligns with Alzheimer’s Research UK’s broader enterprise architecture, security standards, and technology roadmap.

o Integrates effectively with existing and future Alzheimer’s Research UK’s systems (e.g. CRM, fundraising, analytics, marketing platforms).

Actively contribute as a hands‑on software engineering individual contributor during the build and test phases, including:

o Reviewing and contributing to code where appropriate.

o Supporting technical problem‑solving and performance optimisation.

o Participating in testing, release, and deployment activities.

Work closely day‑to‑day with the Digital Engagement team, ensuring technical delivery supports user experience, content, fundraising, and optimisation objectives.
Establish and embed good engineering practices for the platform, including documentation, environment management, deployment, monitoring, and support handover.

Take technical ownership of the platform post‑launch, supporting continuous improvement, optimisation, and future enhancements

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

Strong professional experience as a senior software engineer / lead software engineer working on modern website or digital platforms.
Ideally a full stack engineer with strong front-end skills (our main languages/ frameworks are React and Python/Django).
Proven experience with modern front‑end and web architectures, including:

o React (or comparable modern JavaScript frameworks).

o Headless CMS and API‑driven architectures.

o CI/CD pipelines and automated testing practices.

Experience acting as a technical owner or lead for an app or website.
Experience working with modern code management tools e.g. github, bitbucket) and of version control/code branching approaches.
Experience using AI tools to improve engineering efficiency e.g. Cursor, Claude code, github copilot.
Knowledge of code build and deployment processes
Solid understanding of cloud‑hosted, scalable, and secure web platforms, including performance, resilience, and security considerations.
Experience integrating websites with wider digital ecosystems (e.g. CRM, analytics, marketing automation, donation/payment platforms).
Ability to operate effectively as both a hands‑on contributor and a senior technical advisor, balancing strategic oversight with practical delivery.
Experience working in an agile environment using development workflow tools such as JIRA.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non‑technical stakeholders

The Charity

Alzheimer's Research UK is the UK's leading dementia research charity. Our mission is to accelerate progress towards a cure. Today 1 in 2 people will be impacted by dementia, either through caring for a loved one, developing it themselves or tragically both. But there is hope.

There has never been a more important and exciting time in dementia research. With promising new drugs in clinical trials that slow the progression of the diseases that cause it, and revolutionary new ways to diagnose them on the horizon, we are now at a tipping point. Working with the smartest minds globally and across the UK, with industry and academia, Alzheimer’s Research UK is uniquely placed to invest in the very best research identifying barriers to a cure and knocking them down so that there are more and better treatments for everyone with dementia. For the first time in history, we can see a future where people with dementia can get a swift and accurate diagnosis, and effective treatments that could slow or even stop their disease. We stand for everyone affected by dementia. We stand for a cure.

We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone can be themselves and reach their full potential. We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and cultures, in particular those from ethnic minority backgrounds who are currently under-represented. Any offer of employment is however subject to you having the right to work in the UK.

It is important to offer a range of benefits which are designed to meet both the organisational and individual needs, are market competitive and designed to attract and retain employees.
