Job description

This role is with one of Dex's trusted partner companies. We work closely with their teams to truly understand their culture, goals, and what they're looking for, so we can match you with the right opportunity and give you context about the role before you commit to a process.

Dex is an AI recruiter agent that helps you run your job search. Tell Dex your stack, seniority, and what you want to build. We will manage your applications and surface other opportunities that are a fit.

The role

Healthcare is broken. Specifically, its administrative backbone. This company is fixing it, building AI co-workers that slot into existing hospital teams and tools. They've deployed to over 40 hospitals in 18 months, backed by a team from Palantir, Google DeepMind, and Apple.

You’ll own the full lifecycle of these AI workflows, from ambiguous problem statements to deployed solutions. This isn’t a pure coding role; you’ll be onsite with healthcare administrators, translating their non-technical needs into product, and bringing those insights back to the core engineering team. Expect high ownership, direct impact, and a flat structure where your input shapes the product from day one.

The work

• Translate complex, non-technical requirements from healthcare administrators into deployable AI solutions.
• Own the end-to-end delivery of AI workflows, working across the full stack.
• Work directly with customers, often onsite, to understand their pain points and integrate solutions.
• Identify and proactively fix issues, driving improvements back into the core product.
• Contribute to a system already deployed in over 40 hospitals, tackling a critical workforce shortfall.

What You Bring

• Deep empathy for healthcare administrators and a drive to fix systemic issues.
• Proven ability to take ambiguous input and rapidly ship high-quality, full-stack product.
• Experience across Python (FastAPI), TypeScript + React, and Postgres.
• A bias for action: you fix what's broken, you don't wait for a ticket.
• Willingness to work 5 days a week in person, either in London or onsite with customers.
