About the role

At Terra, we aim to be the infrastructure for health data and products alike. To do this, we need world-class engineers capable of designing systems from first principles, writing efficient, extensible, and readable code to build products for our customers.

You will be working closely with our sales and engineering team to:

Build, design, and manage backend systems across their lifecycle.
Ensure a high quality standard for the code base.
Design APIs and SDKs to ensure developers or customers are on their happy path.
Securely store, process, and design around one of the most sensitive and difficult data to handle at volume.
(Optional) Play a part in making sure no one commits to main without a code review!

We currently use AWS and GCP along with programming languages such as Python, Go, and Java for backend. We do not discriminate by language, and if you have a preferred language within reason, we are happy to let you build with it!

What We Value

We believe outstanding engineers don’t need extensive training from big-tech companies but rather are able to learn through passion, curiosity, and resourcefulness. They should consider engineering as a craft, continuously refining their skills, solving challenges creatively, and be able to learn from their failures. It's this dedication to growth and excellence that makes you an outstanding engineer.

Must haves:

Must approach engineering as an artisan, treating it as a craft to be perfected.
Must be fast. We operate at 200mph, and so do you.
Must be relentless. We never stop, so you are even faster than us.
Must be customer-driven. We think customers first and so should you.
Must be driven and go above and beyond.
Must be able to explain and communicate clearly.
Must be prepared to challenge us and disagree. We think and act as a team.
Must be able to work autonomously.
Must want to work hard.
Above all, you are genuinely a nice person.

Big plus: You are an athlete or care about quantifying your data.

Salary depending on experience: £33,000 - £80,000 + stock options.
