Lead Cloud Developer
We are expanding our software development team and seeking an ambitious Lead Developer with extensive development experience using the AWS platform.

As we are an advanced user of AWS services, you'll be working on platform capabilities and product features using the best mix of cloud services and new development.
You'll be exposed to a wide variety of technologies and features and have the opportunity to make a significant impact, including cloud environments, web UI (both Angular and React) and multiple databases (Dynamo, Mongo and Postgres). You will also collaborate with teams working on our Android and iOS Apps, and data pipelines.
We are looking for someone who is used to working in a team environment in close cooperation with DevOps, Marketing and Product Management. You'll need strong interpersonal skills, good commercial awareness and a desire to deliver an outstanding experience for our customers. You'll be acting as the Lead in a team of five Developers, so the ability to mentor, coach, guide and develop others is important.

About Checkit
Checkit optimises the performance of people, processes and physical assets with connected digital solutions. We help companies with remote, deskless workforces to schedule, manage and analyse the activities of their teams to deliver improved productivity, engagement and cost savings. Via digital assistants that provide guided workflows, powerful dashboards that provide insights into critical activities and bring dark operations to light, and smart sensors that monitor critical assets and building facilities, we give leadership teams the ability to schedule and plan activity, and know what is happening as it happens, while making life much easier for their teams at the frontline. These real-time workflow, monitoring and analytics services enable safe and productive work, efficient operations and data-driven insight to continually improve performance in large, complex organisations.
We work across four main sectors - healthcare, pharmaceutical, life sciences and biotech; facilities and building management; retail; and hospitality. We help our customers with challenges as diverse as keeping vaccines at the correct temperature; reducing stock loss and waste for food retailers; reducing time spent on audit and compliance; repurposing tens of thousands of working hours previously spent on tasks we now automate; and monitoring best practice and care quality. Our clients include many NHS trusts, BP, Waitrose / John Lewis Partnership, Sodexo, Hallmark Care Homes and Center Parcs.
