Job description

About us

Log my Care is the platform for next‑generation care providers. We’re built for forward‑thinking care teams who want to move beyond outdated systems and deliver the very best person‑led care. Our mission is to enable providers to deliver proactive care—helping teams anticipate needs, prevent issues before they arise, and give people the best chance at healthier, happier lives. Outdated, clunky software wastes time and holds care back.

We’re building the antidote: intuitive, powerful tools that save hours on admin, unlock smarter insights, and raise the standard of care every day. That’s why over 2,000 providers across the UK choose Log my Care to deliver safer, smarter, more proactive care that transforms lives.

The role

We’re looking for a Tech Lead to join our third and completely new product squad, focused on driving positive outcomes through data, analytics, and AI.

This squad’s mission is to help Log my Care learn from our customers and turn insight into action, building reporting, analytics, and intelligent features that enable care providers to be more proactive, make better decisions, and deliver better outcomes for the people they support.

As Tech Lead, you’ll set the technical direction for the squad and act as a force multiplier for the team. You’ll unblock delivery by solving complex technical challenges, setting clear architectural direction, and coaching engineers to ship high‑quality work confidently. You’ll stay close to the codebase where needed, but your focus is on enabling the squad to move fast and build sustainably. This is a high‑ownership role with real scope to influence how Log my Care uses data and intelligence across the platform, while leading a small, product‑led squad to deliver meaningful impact for frontline care teams.

💰 Salary Range: up to £110K

🏢 Location: This role is based in London. Our mandatory in‑office days are Wednesdays & Fridays.

As a Tech Lead, you are the technical heartbeat of the squad, balancing hands‑on engineering, mentorship and strategic decision making to drive high‑impact outcomes:

• Partner with PMs to lead development, set squad‑level standards, define architectural patterns, and guide priorities
• Advocate for user needs in technical decisions, working closely with Product and Design to deliver meaningful real‑world value
• Enable engineers to deliver effectively by unblocking progress, reducing complexity, and coaching strong technical decision‑making
• Lead technical planning by breaking down problems, surfacing risks early, and making clear trade‑offs
• Own end‑to‑end quality and reliability across the squad, including testing strategy, monitoring, releases, and incident response
• Drive scalable system design, ensuring new services and features align with platform direction
• Guide technical scoping and estimation, surfacing dependencies and constraints early
• Use delivery, quality, and usage metrics to identify bottlenecks and continuously improve performance
• Line‑manage and mentor 3–5 engineers, supporting growth through feedback, coaching, and clear expectations
• Take accountability for squad outcomes, stepping in early when delivery, quality, or technical risks emerge

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has hands‑on tech lead experience, combining technical leadership with people management
• Has led product‑led squads, working closely with PMs and designers to ship impactful features
• Has strong full‑stack experience with React, Node, MongoDB and TypeScript
• Has experience building or leading data‑driven systems, including analytics, reporting, or insight platforms
• Has practical exposure to AI or ML‑enabled features in a production environment
• Has a track record of driving impact in a scale‑up or fast‑growing product environment
• Thrives in an environment that values user impact, ownership, and continuous learning
• Cares deeply about solving meaningful problems for frontline care teams
