Job description

Senior Software Engineer

Employment Type: Full time

Location Type: Hybrid

The Mission: Fixing Healthcare with Code

Healthcare is full of complex, frustrating workflows that haven’t changed in decades. We believe that thoughtfully applied AI can finally simplify these systems, improving both the provider's workday and the patient's experience.

Specifically, we are revolutionizing the pharmacy space. We’re building AI-powered systems that integrate directly with Electronic Health Record (EHR) platforms, helping health systems operate effectively at scale. This isn't a "chatbot on a landing page" - it’s deep, integrated infrastructure that changes how care is delivered.

The Team: AI-Native by Design

We’re led by a technical leadership team with deep roots in high-scale engineering, including our VP of Engineering (ex-DeepMind/Google). Together, we’re fostering an "AI-native" culture where we don’t just build AI; we use it.

We want engineers who lean on AI tools to maximize their output and automate the mundane parts of their day-to-day work. We’re creating an environment where using the latest tools isn't just allowed - it’s encouraged and championed by leadership.

Location & Culture

We have an office in Manchester City Centre, and while we aren’t a "mandatory X days in the office" company, we believe in the power of getting together. We’re looking for engineers who are excited to head into Manchester when needed to whiteboard, jam on ideas, and build rapport in person.

Why You’d Leave Your Current Role

• AI Playground: Hand‑on with OpenAI, Langfuse, and Vertex AI to ship real‑world features.
• True Feature Ownership: Own full features end‑to‑end, from ambiguity to production.
• Influence Technical Direction: Collaborate closely with our VP of Engineering to shape the technical stack, establish engineering standards, and influence the product roadmap.
• Pure Product Engineering: Thrive when the path isn’t fully paved and ship features in 48 hours.
• Significant Equity: Join as an early pillar and take a meaningful stake.

What We Do Care About

• Owner & Builder: Proven track record of shipping production‑grade applications from scratch, discussing design choices and scaling.
• Thrive in Ambiguity: Break loose product requirements into execution plans and drive implementation.
• Technical Leadership: Influence direction, run spikes, raise engineering bar through reviews and mentoring.
• AI‑Native Mindset: Work on AI products or embed AI tools into workflow for efficiency.

Benefits

• Employee Stock Option Program: Share in Foundation Health’s success.
• Generous Paid Time Off.
• Remote Working: Work from anywhere and thrive in a flexible, digital‑first environment.
• Health, Dental, and Vision Plans.
• Flexible Working: Customize your schedule for work‑life harmony.
