An internationally trusted source of medical news and education to the healthcare professional community, seeks a CTO to guide them through a major digital transformation, including a full ground-up redesign/redevelopment of their core platforms and wider product ecosystem. With the existing platform developed predominantly in PHP and WordPress, my client is seeking to adopt a more modern tech stack that will provide greater stability, scalability, resilience and will allow them to embrace AI and provide new features and enhanced functionality.

The Role

The CTO will bridge strategy and execution, as they translate business vision and product requirements into a clear technical strategy. The CTO will then own the end-to-end digital roadmap for the new digital platform, and will advise on platform architecture, tooling and technology, before then leading and line-managing the development team through the greenfield rebuild of the platform.

This is a “sleeves rolled up” CTO role and would suit a candidate with senior engineering leadership experience (CTO, VP Engineering, Head of Engineering, Tech Lead, Principal Engineer etc.) looking to architect and own a major platform rebuild in a role that will provide real influence over product direction and company growth.

The Company

The CTO will be joining a company established nearly 10 years ago to meet a growing need for independent expert advice and cutting-edge research directly from international thought leaders. Having grown rapidly to establish themselves as a trusted global leader in this field, providing readily accessible content via a range of subject-specific websites and digital platforms, their close-knit team work remotely, but with a collaboration hub currently in London where they enjoy getting together to explore and share ideas on a monthly basis.

With a flexible approach to working and with excellent benefits and opportunities for career development and advancement, this really is an excellent time to join.

Benefits include:

• Remote working
• Flexible hours
• 25 days holiday
• Pension

What’s required of the CTO?

• Senior engineering leadership experience gained within smaller companies where the environment is fast-moving
• Experience of architecting modern web platforms with Node.js backend development, AWS infrastructure, Linux and containerised applications such as Docker
• PHP/WordPress would be useful to understand the current platform
• Python skills, especially for AI/data/automation use cases would be beneficial
• Practical experience of implementing AI features, with an understanding of LLMs, prompt design, vector search, knowledge graphs, etc., would be advantageous

What Next?

If you’re currently a CTO, or looking to take the step up to that level of ownership and responsibility, and have any questions or would simply welcome a chat about this excellent position and company, just call me or drop me an email, as I’d love to hear from you! If, though, you think this role could be right for you and you’d like to learn more, then please apply now!

Were hiring an experienced, hands-on Tech Lead to take ownership of day-to-day technical delivery as a growing product platform moves from early-stage build into a robust, scalable system.

This is a builder-led leadership role. Youll remain close to the code while setting direction, standards, and pace for a small but growing engineering team.

This role suits someone who enjoys ownership, shipping real product, and making pragmatic decisions in fast-moving environments.

The role

You will take responsibility for delivering key product areas end-to-end, from technical design through to release and iteration. Early on, youll be relied upon to write and ship critical parts of the system yourself while helping establish strong engineering foundations.

What youll be doing

• Owning delivery across core product areas: feasibility, design, build, release, and iteration
• Staying hands-on in the codebase, particularly in the early stages
• Providing day-to-day technical leadership, mentoring engineers and unblocking progress
• Setting engineering standards around quality, performance, testing, and reliability
• Making sound technical trade-offs across frontend, backend, and data workflows
• Driving improvements in platform foundations including performance, observability, security, and cost awareness
• Establishing lightweight delivery cadence with clear definitions of done and reliable releases
• Collaborating closely with product managers, designers, and senior stakeholders

What were looking for

• 710+ years experience building and shipping production software in product-led environments

• Strong full-stack engineering fundamentals, including:

  • TypeScript / Node.js backend systems
  • React + TypeScript on the frontend
  • PostgreSQL and data modelling (geospatial or mapping experience a bonus)

• Proven experience owning projects end-to-end and shipping to production repeatedly

• Experience building data-heavy B2B SaaS products (dashboards, workflows, permissions, internal tooling)

• Strong product mindset with a high bar for usability, accessibility, and UI quality

• Comfortable working with incomplete requirements and turning ambiguity into delivery

• Experience leading or mentoring small engineering teams

• A builder-leader mindset: able to write high-quality code while raising the bar for others

Nice to have

• Experience in high-integrity data environments (e.g. compliance, reporting, analytics platforms)
• Experience setting up early-stage engineering foundations (CI/CD, environments, logging/metrics)

• Full-time, permanent position
• Remote working (UK or European time zones)
• £95,000 per annum
• Equity participation available
• Opportunity to play a key technical leadership role as the platform and team scale
