Role
Who you are

What the job involves
- We are looking for a Lead Software Engineer (Engineering manager) to lead and build out Lottie’s new Care Operating System vision
- This new product is a critical evolution of how Lottie serves its partner providers and will support them in digitising their day-to-day operations, but will also be how we bridge the gap between care seekers and providers in the future and ultimately deliver a 10x customer experience
- You’ll have the opportunity to architect and figure out how we build this new world alongside our Principal Software Engineers and help build out the team (we’ll be bringing in new people as well as moving people around in the business)
- Alongside the Head of Product and CTO you’ll be taking responsibility for product and technical decisions and ensure we are thinking about the future
- Our stack is relatively modern but in this job we haven’t made any core technical decisions and so would love you to come in and help on that journey

- Drive the product decisions alongside the product manager about what we’re building and how
- Architect the future of the Care platform and help build a better search for everyone

- Work with the rest of leadership to create a great, inclusive and productive environment
- Own the development of new features from conception to completion
- Mentor other engineers in best practices and level up the engineering function
- Figuring out how to integrate models in understanding the quality of enquiries
- Deeply integrating our customer experience with the supplier experience
- Leveraging the latest technologies to solve the right problems (think things like Qwik, Sanity, tRPC etc)
- Building robust and clean data pipelines that give suppliers a depth of information and understanding about potential enquiries and customers
- High degree of autonomy and ability to influence key decisions and drive the right changes in technology in a growing company
- An opportunity to grow a team of engineers over time and expand out the team (we expect there to be more than 1 team in that area over time)
- Working across different elements of our infrastructure and measuring the impact of your teams changes on the marketplace through experimentation
- Regular hack days and a flexible L+D budget to help make you a better engineer

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Choosing a care home is often a hugely daunting, complex, and expensive process, coming at a time that's already stressful enough. What's more, the UK's ageing population is growing at an increasing rate, putting more strain on social care than ever before. The result is that 44% of care seekers often ultimately regret their choice of care home, something that has had increasing attention since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lottie aims to address this in part by simplifying the process of finding the perfect care home for every individual's specific needs. Its online marketplace gives users all the tools to select and compare the UK's best-performing care homes, taking into account CQC reports, facilities, treatment methods, and location.
Having received investment, Lottie aims to continue its growth to reshape the future of the care industry. It is doing so with a strong emphasis on data and real-time information, collecting datasets that will be vital not just to its business operations, but potentially to the UK government and healthcare policy too.
