UK Development Team Lead

Reset Health are looking for a Development Team Lead to guide our new Live Platforms development team, balancing hands-on technical delivery with day-to-day scrum master duties.

You’ll split your time between writing code alongside the team and running the agile ceremonies that keep the team delivering predictably — planning, refinement, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives — while acting as a first point of contact for technical guidance and mentorship.

Our Live Platforms team is our development ‘fast lane’ making production releases at the end of each two-week sprint. The team are responsible for

• Scrum master for the live platforms team facilitating agile ceremonies and coaching the team in agile best-practice.
• Close collaboration with our Product team and Client Programme Lead to groom the backlog and plan each production update.
• Report on sprint progress, velocity, and delivery risk to engineering leadership and other stakeholders.
• Assist in designing and personally develop new platform capabilities requested by current customers. This will involve hands‑on development in our React Native front end, Kotlin backend or both.
• Apply AI tools responsibly to deliver productivity benefits while maintaining full oversight.
• Champion strong technical standards and best‑practise software engineering: code reviews, unit testing, CI/CD, secure software development.
• Take ownership of the Live Platform which comes with the right to challenge any code/change contributed by other teams that does not meet a Quality Standard you will be pivotal in agreeing.
• Support the recruitment and training of engineers as we grow the team.
• Manage 2nd line support for technical issues as per the Global support Standard Operating Procedure.
• As we grow, help plan out how we’ll evolve the Live Platforms to support our deployments in other timezones.
