Ready to shape the backbone of digital platforms that reach millions of people worldwide?

Why this role matters

As Platform & Integration Lead, you’ll be the technical glue across Product, Data, and outsourced Engineering - providing architectural direction, integration oversight, and vendor quality assurance.

Your work will keep our diagnostics platform and core services stable, scalable, and secure. You’ll also play a key role in embedding InfoSec into everything we build, and support R&D audits with clear, technical evidence.

This is a hands-on role with influence - perfect if you love turning complex systems into elegant, sustainable solutions.

What you’ll be doing 

You’ll:

• Provide end-to-end architectural direction for platform services (auth, licensing, APIs, user flows)

• Design and oversee integrations with client platforms and third-party tools

• Coordinate InfoSec across platform and integration design, embedding security and compliance into every solution

• Oversee outsourced engineering work - setting standards and ensuring high-quality delivery

• Partner with Product, Data, and UX to align technical solutions with business goals

• Simplify legacy systems to support long-term sustainability

• Maintain system documentation and share knowledge across the team

• Support HMRC R&D claims and audits by providing clear technical evidence

What makes you a great fit

You’re someone who balances rigour with pragmatism, and who can translate complex technical concepts into clear direction for non-technical colleagues.

• Strong track record in platform engineering, systems integration, or solution architecture

• Proven ability to design scalable, reliable, and secure systems

• Experience overseeing outsourced or third-party engineering work

• Strong communicator, able to explain trade-offs and decisions clearly

• Solid grounding in InfoSec principles (identity, access, encryption, compliance)

• Familiarity with APIs, authentication, and microservices

• 8+ years’ experience in architecture, integration, or software engineering

Bonus points if you:

• Have experience in SaaS or diagnostics platforms

• Bring exposure to behavioural science or data-led product contexts

• Hold cloud or security certifications (AWS, GCP, CISSP etc.)

Why you’ll love working here
