Engineering Manager (Integrations)

Healthcare systems are struggling; our solution is communication. We have a bold vision: everyone involved in a patient’s care - including the patient - should be able to communicate with each other, and we believe every NHS staff member should be using our software to make that happen. We want to make healthcare genuinely better. We are solving one of the biggest challenges of our generation, and to do this, we need the best talent possible to help us raise the bar. Our products are used daily by over 98% of GP practices and half of NHS hospitals sending an average of over 25 million messages every month, impacting millions of lives.

As an Engineering Manager, your role will be mission-critical and you will be central to shaping the core communication infrastructure of the NHS. You will directly enable faster, safer, and more accessible patient care, while also helping teams solve customer problems and leading the team that owns a specific set of capabilities within the Accurx product.

To give a flavour of what Accurx is working on right now, we are focused on:

• Implementing our AI Scribe across GP practices, hospitals, and other care settings, and ensuring every patient leaves an appointment with a clearly documented summary.
• Translating our expertise from implementing total triage in GP practices to improve how hospital specialist services deliver care.
• Powering communication for Integrated Neighbourhood Teams, a new type of service bringing together staff from different organisations that is pivotal to the government’s 10-year plan.
