[LRUG] [JOBS] 2 Ruby Software Engineering Team Lead Contracts - Remote UK

Fri Dec 5 09:42:18 PST 2025

Hi all,

I’m looking to hire 2 hands-on Software Engineering Team Lead Contractors for a Healthtech SaaS client of mine.

Contract Software Engineering Team Lead – Ruby - Healthtech

Initial Duration 3 months, which may extend

Outside of IR35

Rate: £550 - £650 per day (maybe more for the right person)

Tech Stack: Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Emberjs, JavaScript, AWS

You must have recent hands-on experience with Ruby.

We’re hiring 2x Contract Ruby Software Engineering Team Lead to take full ownership of product squads. The company is a SaaS Healthtech who have over 30M users worldwide.

You’ll join a remote-first team, delivering changes to production over 100 times a month. Speed and safety go hand in hand here, supported by a mature, CI/CD-first mindset.

You’ll lead a team of 4 engineers building products that improve real-world healthcare delivery.

It’s for someone who wants to lead, not just manage. Someone who still loves shipping code but also wants to coach, unblock, and grow a team.

You’ll work closely with your Product Manager and Designer to define the team’s roadmap and set the tone for delivery.

What makes this worth your time?

  *   You’ll be trusted to run your squad from roadmap to release
  *   You’ll still be hands-on, coding alongside your team (but not drowning in it)
  *   You’ll be coaching, mentoring, hiring, and shaping both the product and the people
  *   You’ll contribute to a real mission: simplifying healthcare for patients and professionals alike

What you’ll be doing:

  *   Leading a cross-functional product engineering squad
  *   Supporting career growth, onboarding, hiring, and performance
  *   Staying close to the codebase, contributing to major features and architecture
  *   Working with product and design to prioritise impact
  *   Improving delivery, quality, and team culture

What we’re looking for:

  *   You’ve led a product-focused engineering team before and worked in fast-paced environments
  *
You’ve got excellent experience with Ruby and Rails. It would be great if you also have experience with Ember, but this isn’t essential.
  *   You’re still technical and comfortable reviewing PRs and solving tricky problems
  *   You care about people and have experience mentoring and developing engineers
  *   You understand how to balance autonomy with alignment
  *   Ideally, experience working on payment systems such as Stripe or similar
  *
Ideally, experience working on data extraction, integration, or ETL platforms

Interview Process

2 stages over Zoom

1st stage will be an introductory call

2nd stage will involve a pair programming session

If you’re a solid contract Ruby Software Engineering Team Lead who thrives in fast-moving teams and wants to build software that has real-world impact, apply now.

Please send me an up-to-date CV and we can schedule a call to discuss further.

Have a great weekend.
