Technical Lead

We are looking for an experienced Technical Lead to own and drive the full software

development lifecycle for Provider Passport — a modern, microservices-based platform built

on Spring Boot, Angular, AWS, and Firebase. You will be the technical decision-maker

responsible for architecture, code quality, delivery timelines, and engineering best practices

across the entire stack.

This is a leadership role. You will set the technical direction, make hands-on architectural

decisions, and ensure the team delivers high-quality software on schedule. We need

someone who has done this before — not just contributed to engineering teams, but actively

led them through complex product builds.

What You'll Own

● Lead architecture decisions and technical strategy across backend, frontend, and

cloud infrastructure

● Own the end-to-end software development lifecycle: planning, design,

implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance

● Establish and enforce engineering standards for code quality, testing, CI/CD,

security, and documentation

● Drive sprint planning, technical scoping, and delivery execution to ensure on-time,

high-quality releases

● Evaluate technical trade-offs, manage technical debt, and make pragmatic

build-vs-buy decisions

● Collaborate closely with Product Management to translate product requirements into

technical specifications and delivery plans

● Conduct code reviews and architectural reviews to maintain consistency and

scalability

● Identify and resolve bottlenecks in the development process, from infrastructure to

team workflows

Required Technical Experience

You must have deep, hands-on experience with the following technologies:

Backend: Spring Boot (3.x preferred), Java, micro services architecture, RESTful API design

Messaging: Apache Kafka — real-time streaming pipelines, event-driven architecture

Database: MySQL — schema design, query optimisation, data modelling at scale

Frontend: Angular — component architecture, state management, performance

optimisation

Cloud: AWS — EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, CloudFront, IAM, VPC, and deployment

automation

Firebase: Authentication, Realtime Database, Storage, and Security Rules

DevOps: CI/CD pipelines, containerisation (Docker), infrastructure-as-code, monitoring and

logging

Qualifications

● 6+ years of professional software engineering experience with at least 3 years in a

technical lead or engineering manager role

● Proven track record of leading engineering teams through full product builds — from

zero-to-one or major platform overhauls

● Strong experience with micro services architecture in production environments at

scale

● Demonstrated ability to own SDLC end-to-end: requirements gathering, system

design, sprint execution, release management

● Excellent understanding of cloud-native patterns, distributed systems, and

event-driven architecture

● Experience setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, automated testing

frameworks, and deployment strategies

● Strong communication skills — able to translate complex technical concepts for

non-technical stakeholders

● Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a

related field (or equivalent experience)

Nice to Have

● Experience in healthcare technology, credentialing, or provider data management

● Background in building multi-tenant SaaS platforms

● Experience with performance engineering, load testing, and scalability planning
