Areti Group is partnering with a high-growth, Series A startup that’s scaling at serious pace — 20+ hires planned in the next 3 months.

We’re looking for exceptional Tech Leads to take ownership of a core API Platform Team, driving the transition from legacy systems into a modern, scalable, API-first architecture — with a key shift from PHP into Golang.

✅ The Essentials

• 💻 Fully Remote (UK-based)
• ✈️ Monthly on-site collaboration (fully expensed)

💡 Why This Role Stands Out

✔️ True Tech Lead role (≈70% hands-on / 30% leadership)

✔️ Major tech evolution – moving from PHP → Golang

✔️ Own the architecture of a high-scale API platform

✔️ High-impact work in a fast-growing startup

✔️ Strong engineering culture – collaborative, pragmatic, product-focused

✔️ Real influence on technical direction, standards & delivery

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Backend: Transitioning from PHP (Symfony) → Golang, MySQL
• Frontend: Vue.js (component-driven)
• Cloud: AWS, Kubernetes
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions

🎯 What You’ll Be Doing

🔹 Leading the technical direction of the API platform

🔹 Driving migration from legacy systems to API-first architecture

🔹 Building high-performance, scalable services in Golang

🔹 Defining API standards (design, versioning, security)

🔹 Writing clean, production-grade code

🔹 Line managing & mentoring a team of 4 engineers

🔹 Acting as the technical escalation point

🔹 Partnering closely with Product & QA

✔️ Strong background in API & backend development

✔️ Solid object-oriented design & scalable architecture skills

✔️ Confident making technical decisions & trade-offs

✨ Nice to Have

➕ Experience with Golang (or strong desire to move into it)

➕ Legacy system modernisation / migration

➕ Kubernetes / cloud-native experience

➕ High-throughput, data-heavy systems

➕ Experience in regulated domains (e.g. healthcare)
