Job description

About

We are a fast‑growing, cash flow positive company focused on personalized medicine, with more than 1,100 clinics and a team of ~35 people, serving 20% of the UK population.

We hire at all levels: our team includes new grads and product leaders with up to 20 years experience.

Qualifications

• Has a track record of relentless shipping.
• Has proven ability to navigate ambiguity and tackle novel technical challenges from conception to production.
• Has strong CS fundamentals. A deep understanding of data structures, algorithms (e.g., breadth‑first search), and first‑principles thinking to solve complex product problems.
• Is expert‑level in TypeScript (TS). Proficiency in building type‑safe, scalable applications. You are a full‑stack expert in the JavaScript/Node.js ecosystem with a pragmatic approach to tech debt and tool selection.
• Has hands‑on expertise with React, Angular, or Node.js, with the ability to move between frontend and backend as needed.
• Has experience architecting on AWS (specifically Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, and CloudFormation) or a proven "hungry to learn" mindset regarding serverless infrastructure.
• Is disciplined towards best practice version control, CI/CD and code extensibility. Values interface safety through dimensionality reduction at interfaces.
• Is obsessive about UX and optimises for this over arbitrary technical goals.
• Is driven, impatient to grow and wants their shot to change the world.

Responsibilities

• You’ll work with an incredibly smart team. Like Michael who built a working CPU from logic dates at age 16 and co‑founded YC‑backed Embark Trucks, the first self‑driving vehicle on Canadian roads. Or Souradip, who built an acoustic fall detector using on‑device deep learning; he’s also an MB/PhD from Cambridge who’s published in top medical journals.
• You’ll own your projects end to end and ship fast. Like Alex who built “Slack for medical teams” supporting 1000s of channels per organisation and a real‑time single source of truth for patient data in 4 weeks. Or Dennis who built and shipped a lightning‑fast cloud document library for clinics in a few days with <100ms traversals through preloading.
• You’ll work on a well‑established stack that’s already highly scalable, cost effective, secure and performant with minimal to zero ops.
• You’ll learn new technologies; whatever is needed to solve the problem. We are tech agonistic, and collectively choose the best tools for the job. We’re constantly looking to maximise our productivity and minimise what we call “discounted dev time cost” for shipping features.

Stack

We have 2 separate fully functional web apps in prod: one for clinical users and one for patients. Angular, React and Electron, Mixpanel/Posthog for analytics, a fully serverless backend in AWS (Cognito, Appsync GraphQL, Lambda, DynamoDB).
