SCSS Consulting is not your typical software company. We build cutting-edge healthcare technology that makes a real impact. We work with healthtech startups, clinics, and enterprises to create secure, scalable, and compliant software that improves patient outcomes.

We’re looking for a Hands-On Tech Lead who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment. This role is not a typical 9-to-5 job—you’ll be deeply involved in building, leading, and hustling to ship high-quality products on time, without compromises.

You’ll work directly with Australian clients, so exceptional communication skills and a strong product mindset are non-negotiable. You must be organized, proactive, and willing to grind to make things happen.

If you love coding, problem-solving, and leading from the front, this role is for you.

Your Role:

Hands-On Development (60-70%)

• Architect, design, and develop scalable and high-performance applications.
• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code in Node.js & React.
• Own the backend (Node.js, PostgreSQL, Firebase, AWS) and frontend (React, Next.js, TypeScript) stack.
• Conduct code reviews, mentor engineers, and enforce best practices.
• Solve complex scalability, security, and performance challenges.

• Work directly with Australian clients to understand their needs and shape product decisions.
• Translate business problems into technical solutions with a strong product mindset.
• Communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

• Drive project execution, ensuring timelines are met without compromising quality.
• Lead a small but high-performing team of engineers.
• Set up agile development processes (Scrum, CI/CD, DevOps best practices).
• Balance speed vs. tech debt to deliver efficiently.
