Job description

Overview

A rapidly growing healthtech scale-up is transforming how hospitals deliver care across the UK — and they're now expanding their development team at pace.

In just a few short years, they've evolved from a disruptive newcomer into a trusted technology partner, securing high-profile contracts and rolling out their platform in some of the busiest NHS Trusts in the country.

Their solution replaces clunky, outdated systems with modern, user-friendly tools that align with how clinical teams actually work today.

With multiple industry awards under their belt and a wave of new hospital deployments approaching, they're entering a major growth phase. They’re on the hunt for purpose-driven individuals who want to build impactful tech that directly enhances patient outcomes.

It’s a pivotal moment in their journey — big contracts are being signed, long-term plans are in motion, and the company is scaling toward 350–400 employees. They're building well-structured, high-performing teams to deliver on a clear, strategic roadmap over the coming years.

What you’ll be working on

Mostly automation-focused development using a solid stack: Java, JavaScript, SQL, and AWS. You’ll also be working with TDD, JUnit, and other testing tools as part of the workflow.

The details

• Hybrid working (3 days in the office)
• Salary: £55k–£70kDOE + bonus

• Initial focus: 1–2 years dedicated to automation, with opportunities to move into other areas of the business as you grow with the business

This is ideal for someone with some commercial Java experience who wants to deepen their skills while contributing to meaningful, long-term projects.
