About Foundation Health

Foundation Health is transforming healthcare through an AI-powered digital pharmacy platform that seamlessly connects operational infrastructure with high quality patient experiences. Our mission is to transform patient centric care by connecting fragmented infrastructure, optimizing care coordination, and removing friction from the patient journey.

This ambitious vision is only achievable with the dedication of the right team propelling us forward. We firmly believe that a supportive and inspiring work environment fuels creativity, transforming it into groundbreaking innovation. It is this very innovation that not only benefits our organization but also positively impacts our people, partners, and most importantly, our patients.

As Foundation Health is a brand new start up there is an ideal opportunity to join & help shape our evolving tech stack. Our strategy is to lean on managed services & serverless technologies to help deliver our platform quickly & in a scalable way, without the headache of managing lots of complex infrastructure.

We’re currently using the following languages & technologies:

• Node.js with Typescript
• SvelteKit
• Docker
• Google Cloud Platform services including:
• Cloud Run
• Cloud Functions
• PubSub
• Cloud Tasks
• API Gateway

• Flexible working - We have a team meeting each morning but otherwise time management is left to individuals. We trust that everyone on the team will balance their work & professional lives to the best of their ability.
• Fully remote - We are committed to being a remote-first organisation as we believe this is the most effective model for us & it offers great benefits: allowing people to fit their personal lives more easily around their work lives.
• Shared working space - Whilst we are committed to being remote-first, we also appreciate the value in getting together to bond as a team & problem solve together. We have access to a shared working space in Manchester and from time to time we like to get into the office for in-person meetings where they make sense. This facility is also available for anyone to use if you just fancy a change of scene for the day & for people who prefer to work away from home.

We’re looking to build a small team of highly skilled engineers that are looking for opportunities to own & deliver entire sections of the platform. This is a great opportunity for someone who is motivated by solving technical challenges & looking to help architect entirely new apps & services.

Because we are looking to build a small team, we are looking for candidates who are comfortable taking on ownership of the things they build. This means that it will be up to the individuals to ensure they are building things in a reliable, scalable, cost-efficient & compliant manner.

We want individuals who have great ideas and are keen to share them. This is a new team & a new venture so we will be building our standards & culture together. As part of this aim we want to ensure that we balance the best of fully remote working with in-person collaboration. We are aiming to meet in Manchester at least once per month for a Townhall meeting to ensure everyone is well informed & connected to the company vision.

Note that this is a small team with a relatively flat structure, so we are looking for candidates who want to invest & grow their technical skills & it is unlikely we will have opportunities for growth in people management skills.

Below are our responsibilities, some of which might seem daunting but rest assured, these are responsibilities that will be shared across the entire team!

• Building large sections of functionality, even entire services. This is a small team & there’s lots to do so you won’t be doing small bits & pieces all over the place.
• Reviewing the code & testing the features of your fellow engineers. We’re all QA here!
• Providing 24/7 support for the things you build. Our goal is to prioritise stability & minimise the need for this but it is a responsibility that we will all share as a team.
• Helping define & shape our tech stack, culture, standards & more.

We’re not concerned by formal qualifications so don’t worry if you don’t have a Computer Science degree. We are however looking for candidates with real industry experience. This is a senior role in a small team so the decisions you make will have wide impacts for the entire company. With that in mind we ask for candidates with the following experience:

• 8+ years of commercial experience in modern languages (Typescript / Golang / Rust / C# / Java)
• 5+ years of commercial experience with Typescript
• 5+ years of working on web APIs / services
• 3+ years working with a modern frontend framework (Svelte / Angular / React / Vue.js)
• Experience working with Infrastructure as Code technologies (Terraform, AWS CloudFormation etc.)
• Experience delivering large pieces of functionality as an individual contributor
• Experience working on containerised apps
• Experience working with serverless technologies (GCP preferred but not essential)
• Ability to work effectively remotely. We are a fully remote team & we believe this is the most effective model for us & it offers great benefits, allowing people to fit their personal lives more easily around their work lives; but we appreciate this is not for everyone so please only apply if you are comfortable working fully remotely.

• Experience working in the HealthCare industry
• Experience working in an eCommerce setting
• Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Experience architecting new solutions
• Experience working with event-driven architectures & paradigms
