• A generous personal development budget of $500 per annum

• Help us reimagine primary care and change the face of healthcare in Australia and then around the world.

About Your Role

What you’ll do

• Lead feature development end-to-end: Own the delivery of collaboration and sharing features—from technical design through to production that enable clinical teams to work together more effectively.
• Build the permissions layer clinicians depend on: Implement granular access controls, session sharing, and role‑ or relationship‑based capabilities using our Fine‑Grained Authorization (FGA) infrastructure.
• Ship with pragmatism: Make smart trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality—delivering incremental value to customers while keeping the architecture clean.
• Collaborate across product and engineering: Partner closely with PM, design, and other engineers to translate clinical workflows into technical solutions that actually get used.
• Set the technical direction for your domain: Drive decisions on approach, tooling, and implementation patterns for the collaboration team.
• Mentor and uplevel teammates: Share context, review code, and help less experienced engineers grow through pairing and feedback.

What we will look for

• Strong full‑stack or backend experience (Python & TypeScript preferred)
• Track record of leading feature delivery independently—scoping, building, and shipping
• Pragmatic engineering mindset: bias toward done over perfect, iterative over big‑bang
• Experience building user‑facing features involving permissions, sharing, or multi‑user workflows
• Effective collaborator who communicates clearly with technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast‑moving priorities in a growth‑stage environment
• Genuine interest in healthcare and improving how clinical teams deliver care

What do we believe in?

• Live Forever – Every release moves care forward: measured, safe, and built to last. Data guides us, but patients define the truth that matters.
• Practice Ownership – Decisions follow logic and proof, not hierarchy. Exceptional care demands exceptional standards in our work, our thinking, and our character.
• Small Cuts Heal Faster – Stability earns trust, speed delivers impact. Progress is about learning fast without breaking what people depend on.
• Make others better – Feedback is direct, kindness is constant, and excellence lifts everyone. Our success is measured by collective growth, not individual output.
