Job description

Senior Developer, IT Department – Tavistock House, Central London

Job Title: Senior Developer

Department: Information Technology (IT)

Location: Tavistock House, Central London, WC1H 9LG

Salary range: Dependent on Experience

Hours: Full - Time, Permanent

Job Summary

We are looking for talented developers to extend a next-generation laboratory results system that will record patients’ test results and make it easier for doctors to get to the information that matters.

Tech Stack

C#.Net Core, Kubernetes (AKS), VueJS. Deployed in Azure DevOps (CI/CD). Azure SQL database.

Where will you work?

This is a hybrid role based in London. We use Teams for meetings and instant messaging. Our head office is a brand-new laboratory near Kings Cross. It’s one of the biggest diagnostic labs in Europe with advanced robotic systems and high spec lab facilities covering everything from blood sciences to genetic testing. We may ask that you visit our labs to understand what we do, but that’s not often.

What are we doing?

Hospital lab systems haven’t evolved much in many decades, so there is enormous scope to innovate in this area. We have built a solid web platform deploying to Kubernetes services in Azure. The system has been running the labs for multiple hospitals across London for a few years. It connects up to the machines that run our blood tests and to the hospital systems to send results to patients. Now we need experienced in-house developers to take it to the next level. You will join a team with three developers, an IT operations team, and many experienced scientists.

Who are you?

You will be a well‑rounded developer with some experience of front end and back end. We understand that nobody can be an expert in everything, but you should have some familiarity with the full stack.

You should be the kind of person that likes to take ownership of your system, and actively looks for ways to improve things, including monitoring solutions and updates.

You should be able to write your code clearly and in a way that is easy for other developers to support and extend.

Essential

• 5+ years experience with C# ASP.NET development.
• Experience with JavaScript, or JavaScript frameworks.
• 2+ years experience with Azure.
• Excellent communication skills in dealing with stakeholders and understanding complex business requirements.

Desirable Experience

• Experience working with Azure DevOps pipelines and Azure Kubernetes would be highly desirable.
• Previous experience working in a regulated industry like healthcare, and the QA requirements that go with it.

Benefits

• Training and development opportunities – supporting professional development
• Annual performance related salary review – No banding restrictions: As we are a private company we are not restricted by salary bandings and so are able to negotiate appropriate salaries based on experience. This also means that annual salary reviews do not hit a band ceiling
• Discounted gym membership – we have a corporate gym membership scheme with Better Gyms
• Cash healthcare plan – cash back on a variety of healthcare costs including dentist and opticians
• Sick Pay Entitlement – 5 paid days in the first year of employment, 20 days thereafter
• Permanent Health Insurance and Death in Service Cover
• Life Assurance – providing salary continuation for long term illness (six months qualifying period)
• Employee Assistance Programme – supporting staff wellbeing
• Season Ticket Loan Scheme – interest free loan for the cost of annual travel ticket
• Perkbox – Access to additional staff perks and benefits such as high street discounts
• Company Pension Scheme – company and staff contributions which increase with service
• Competitive annual leave allowance - 23 days rising to 28 days after 5 years service
• Flexible working hours – 40 hours standard working week
