Principle Developer

Full-time · Stockport office every Thursday; remote the rest of the week · Salary dependent on experience

Naturecan Group is a fast-growing, multi-entity health and wellness business operating across e-commerce, regulated pharmacy, and clinical healthcare. We run operations across the UK, Germany, and beyond — brands include Naturecan (D2C, ~50 Shopify stores), Mycannabis and Nowomed (German medical cannabis pharmacy), WMG Pharma (wholesale pharmaceutical distribution), and Dose (our CQC-registered UK medical cannabis clinic, in development).

Group net sales continue to group across Naturecan Core, MedCan pharmacy, WMG wholesale, and Dose all scaling simultaneously. The technology team sits at the heart of that growth: we build and maintain the platforms that underpin every entity in the group.

This is a group-level principal technical role. You will report directly to the IT Director with a remit that spans infrastructure ownership, cross-team technical collaboration, and the ability to float across streams and pick up whatever is most critical at any given point.

The nature of the role is breadth and depth in equal measure. One day you may be deep in a server performance issue for the MedCan WordPress estate; the next you are reviewing Dose’s payment gateway architecture or driving the security remediation programme. Context switching at pace — without losing technical rigour — is fundamental to how this role operates.

In practice, the role has two dimensions:
