Job description

Let’s start with the good stuff...

You’ll step into a high‑impact IC role, with nothing but greenfield work in front of you and no legacy applications that need maintaining.

Working on a suite of products that are already powering major health systems - transforming how healthcare organizations deliver pharmacy, care coordination and direct‑to‑patient services.

We’ve just raised $20M at Series‑A, so we’re accelerating all things product development as we build what’s next. That’s where you’d come in.

You’ll hear the term “full‑stack” get thrown around quite often - but for us, that means you’d come in back‑end heavy - probably an 80 / 20 split. Our tech stack looks like :

• Node.js with TypeScript.
• SvelteKit.
• Docker.
• GCP (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, PubSub, Cloud Tasks, API Gateway).

Yes, your main focus will be software engineering - but don’t be surprised if you’re looking at other areas too. This could mean getting involved in infra, design and / or DevOps chats too.

You’ll help us transition away from the ‘start‑up’ tag, into more of a ‘scale‑up’. This means defining engineering processes and putting more structure in place, so we can scale our platforms with ease.

Yes, initially there’ll be processes that aren’t as mature as what you’re used to - but that’s where you’d come in. Having a seat at the table when it comes to decision making, and really being able to influence decisions moving forward.

This role is remote‑first - but the Eng team meets regularly in our Manchester HQ. We’re still building our engineering culture, so are looking for people who can buy into this.

What you’ll get

• Stock Options
• Group Life Assurance (via Legal & General), including :
• Death in Service Benefit (4x salary)
• Virtual GP access
• Care Concierge
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Auto‑enrolment in the company pension scheme
• 25 days of paid annual leave plus bank holidays
• WeWork office in Manchester and London
• Hybrid flexible working arrangements
• Company‑issued Apple Macbook Pro

Interview Process

• Initial call with one of our Engineers
• Take home exercise
• Final Interview with Engineering team
