Senior Software Developer (Full Stack, Lead)

Lanquez is the Cairo operations hub for a fast growing UK direct to consumer dental and cosmetic brand. Alongside our customer and design teams in New Cairo, we run a full software stack that powers the business end to end, from internal operations tools to customer facing apps. We build our own software rather than relying on off the shelf systems, and we move quickly.

About the role

This is a senior, hands on role for a developer ready to take ownership of our entire software platform. To date the stack has been built and maintained by our founder, and we are now hiring the person who will take the reins, maintain it, improve it and drive it forward.

You will own a suite of production web applications already in daily use across the business: an operations and dispatch system, a lab case management platform, and an appointments and point of sale system. You will also lead the development of our customer facing mobile apps for iOS and Android.

We build heavily with AI assisted development tools, and you will be expected to work the same way, so genuine comfort and skill with these tools matters to us. Everything we build is in English, for an English speaking market and team, so strong English is essential.

This is a genuine ownership role with real responsibility from day one, working directly with UK leadership. It will grow over time as the business and the platform expand, so we are looking for someone who wants to build, take initiative and grow with us.
