Job description

3 weeks ago Be among the first 25 applicants

Our mission is to help dental and veterinary clinics make recurring payments as simple as paying by card. We want to make memberships (Plans) and patient finance seamless by ‘combining' workflows with cards and tapping existing patient data.

Today, we support over 5,000 dental practices across the UK. 100 more join our platform every month. Tabeo is the dominant market leader for patient finance and seeks to be the same for plans in 3 years. Tabeo is profitable. We seek to grow revenue by 50-60% per year and top £30 million per year in 2028.

We believe in a remote first approach to work and equip teams with perks and tools so they can thrive. However, we all come together 2x per year for our amazing ‘Team Weeks'. We previously met in Dubai, Lisbon, London and Athens. Next is a surprise!

About the role:

We\'re looking for an experienced backend engineer to join us! We currently have two cross-functional product teams. We\'re ambitious, and have many interesting strategic and technical challenges ahead of us, including:

• Working towards our multi-product strategy as we scale our newest product, Plans
• Expanding our target audience to include other primary healthcare providers (like vets and hearing specialists) and other regions/countries

Our legacy system has supported us for 8 years and enabled us to reach >10k dentists and create a sustainable, profitable business as we rapidly scale further. You should expect to play a key role in our engineering team.

We typically use the following tools and technologies:

• Go to write our application code
• Google Cloud and AWS for infrastructure
• Confluent Kafka for our events handling
• Serverless technologies in AWS e.g. API GW, Lambda, EventBridge, DynamoDB, Docker for our new infrastructure
• Postgres for our databases
• Our frontend uses Javascript and TypeScript and is hosted on Vercel

Interview process:

• An initial call with our recruiter
• A take-home task or a sample from a public GitHub
• A technical interview with our engineering team
• A behavioural interview with our product team
• Offer stage includes a meeting with Paul, our CEO

Requirements

• You have strong experience working on a Go backend of a technology product, particularly if you\'ve worked with Go or in fintech before
• You\'re comfortable with a DevOps mentality of "you build it, you run it"
• You have a product mindset: you care about customer outcomes and you want to make data-informed decisions
• You\'re comfortable leading on projects that are large in scope, ambiguous, or not well defined
• You care about their team, and work to continuously improve culture, processes and communication

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Employee share options

• Full kit for home office
• Health insurance and life assurance (including dental and optical) for UK staff
• Company trips
