We are looking for experienced Senior Product Engineers. You will join a high-performing and dynamic team at a scaling health technology company and have responsibility for driving our business growth from day one.

We truly believe that you can do the best work of your career with us and have meaningful impact on the patients we support. We combine People, Data and Technology, empowering individuals to take the next step in their mental health or neurodevelopmental journey.

About Us

The digital healthcare landscape is exciting and ever changing. We have a depth of knowledge in our own team; working at the forefront of change you will be surrounded by talented and supported colleagues and leaders.

We are a practitioner-led, CQC-regulated, digital mind health provider, working with a community of expert practitioners to broaden access to the highest quality care for people across the UK. By leveraging technology, we aim to provide scalable and personalized solutions that enhance mental well-being and bridge gaps in mental healthcare delivery.

We work in partnership with institutions such as the NHS, insurance companies and universities to deliver therapy, psychiatry, neurodevelopmental assessments and post diagnosis care for adults, children and young people

The Role:

As a Senior Product Engineer, you will play a crucial role in the entire lifecycle of our web applications, from initial design and development to ongoing maintenance and improvement. You will leverage your deep technical expertise to build scalable, robust, and user-centric solutions that drive our product vision forward. You will collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to define and implement new features, ensuring our applications meet the highest standards of performance, security, and usability. This role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on our products and mentor junior members of the team.

We are a fully remote company with periodic physical meetups across the UK. You will therefore need to be comfortable with remote working and all that it entails and have strong communication skills.

You will:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable web applications that meet the evolving needs of our users and business.

• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code in Python and JavaScript, adhering to best practices and coding standards.

• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams including product management, design, and other engineering disciplines to define, scope, and implement new features and improvements.

• Optimise application performance and responsiveness through code optimisation, efficient data management, and infrastructure considerations.

• Implement robust security and data protection measures to safeguard user data and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

• Mentor junior developers by providing guidance, sharing knowledge, and fostering their technical growth.

• Contribute actively to code reviews, providing constructive feedback to ensure code quality and consistency across the team.

• Participate in the full software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering and design to deployment and monitoring.

• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues, ensuring the stability and reliability of our web applications.

• Stay up-to-date with the latest web development trends, technologies, and best practices.

What we are looking for:

• Experience leading development teams and/or projects, demonstrating strong technical leadership and organisational skills.

• A keen interest in Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models (LLMs) and their potential applications within our products.

• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure, including deploying and managing applications in the cloud.

• Knowledge of containerisation technologies like Docker and orchestration tools like Kubernetes.

• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban) and their practical application.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to effectively communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for automating software delivery.

• Familiarity with data-warehousing concepts and technologies for data analysis and reporting.

You will have:

• Senior level demonstrable experience in web development, with a strong portfolio showcasing your technical skills and contributions.

• Strong proficiency in Python and JavaScript with a deep understanding of their core principles and best practices.

• Proven experience with Python web frameworks such as Flask (experience with others like Django is a plus).

• Expertise in modern JavaScript frameworks like Vue, React or Angular, including a solid understanding of component-based architecture and state management.

• Solid familiarity with RESTful APIs and service-orientated architecture for building and integrating web services.

• Solid understanding of database technologies, including both relational (SQL, e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and non-relational (NoSQL, e.g., MongoDB) databases.

• Practical experience with version control systems, particularly Git, and associated workflows (e.g., Gitflow).

What we offer:

• Excellent salary
• Employer matched pension
• 30 days annual leave + public holidays + the option to buy and sell additional leave, & extended leave options such as sabbatical leave
• Private health insurance
• Enhanced family friendly policies
• Flexible working with the option of free co-working
• All company and team in person meet ups
• Access to a range of wellbeing activities
• Access to development / training opportunities to support your career ambitions
• One volunteering day a year
