Who we are

Practi is building the FinTech for UK Healthcare. At a time when the healthcare landscape in the UK is changing rapidly, we're building solutions for both healthcare professionals and patients, that increase access to healthcare for everyone.

Practi has built a platform that allows clinicians to give their patients a premium experience with educational treatment content to ease anxiety about moving forwards, with an embedded finance solution that allows patients to apply for finance to eliminate affordability as a barrier to receiving healthcare.

Practi is a corporate venture, proudly part of the Simplyhealth group (a purpose-driven B Corp), which means we have all the financial stability and industry expertise of an established player, but with the agility and autonomy of a start-up.

We're passionate about solving these issues for everyone, and whilst we've started in the Dental sector, we have big plans to expand across multiple healthcare verticals.

Why are we hiring?

As a start-up we have launched our initial product offering and are gaining momentum. We are now looking at the second phase of our execution to iterate on our product and engineering solutions thereby accelerating our growth. To do this, we are looking to hire a senior front-end engineer to our Engineering team.

• Collaborate with and lead engineers in building and supporting solutions
• Collaborate with functions including Product, Design, Operation and Growth in understanding and prioritising customer-facing and internal problems that deliver value to Practi
• Build and support easily extensible low-maintenance engineering solutions
• Mentor engineers
• Contribute to fostering a healthy and productive work environment, promoting a culture of innovation

Requirements

What core competencies are we looking for?

• Effective communication, collaboration and leadership skills
• Strong understanding of TypeScript and JavaScript
• Strong understanding of browser technologies
• Strong understanding of the React ecosystem
• Good understanding of UX and UI patterns and tooling
• Good understanding of security best practices and tooling

What else about you would excite us?

• Experience building and maintaining high-traffic web applications
• Experience with CI/CD
• Experience of working in a fast-paced product-focused environment
• Experience with other programming languages such as Java, C#, C++, Ruby or Python
• Experience in healthcare or finance domains
• Experience in building back-end web applications using Node.js

Benefits

We offer:

• Exciting problems and a healthy, fun and productive working environment
• £80k - £100k + bonus
• Up to 10% in employer pension contribution
• 28 days holiday (excl. bank holidays - 36 total)

Working Pattern

3 days a week in the office (Working From Hoxton, 32 Blackfriars Road, Southwark, SE1 8DP)

The importance we place on Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

Building a company to serve clinicians and patients in healthcare means we need to maximise our diversity of thought, so we can bring the best solutions to bear on such important problems. We also know that diversity of thought is a product of diverse talent, which manifests itself in many ways.

We encourage applications from typically under-represented groups.

Our Values at Practi

• Courage: Choosing bravery over comfort, we stand firm in our values and tackle difficult tasks head-on.
• Trust: We count on each other by fostering an environment of transparency, integrity, and accountability.
• Ambition: Unapologetically bold, we push ourselves to achieve more, constantly striving for excellence.
• Play: We believe in taking our work, but not ourselves, seriously.
• Humanity: Empathy, compassion, and inclusion are at the heart of how we operate.
• Curiosity: We are committed to continuous learning, always seeking new knowledge and growth opportunities.
