Staff Product Engineer

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 easily with each other. We believe every NHS staff member should use 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, impacting millions of lives.

Your role will be mission‑critical and you will be central to shaping the core communication infrastructure of the NHS. You'll directly enable faster, safer, and more accessible patient care by defining and driving architectural vision, technical strategy, and engineering standards across an entire product group. You will also be a key engineering leader, guiding the product group toward the best solutions for both today and the future.

The Unique Challenges You’ll Solve:

• Driving Architectural Excellence: set the technical direction for an entire product group, collaborating with engineers, product managers, and designers to define our long‑term architectural vision.
• Championing the "Product Engineer" Mindset: ensure that product thinking is embedded throughout the engineering process so we build the right features for our users in a maintainable, robust way.
• Influencing Multiple Teams: work across numerous squads, identifying systemic technical challenges and opportunities.
• Being a Force Multiplier for Engineering Quality: raise the bar for engineering excellence through code reviews, architecture discussions, and introducing best practices.
• Mentoring and Growing Talent: model exceptional technical leadership and mentor both senior and junior engineers.
• Building for Continuous Improvement: encourage teams to stay curious, experiment, and iterate.

What We’re Looking For:

• A strong understanding of large‑scale, distributed systems that support mission‑critical applications.
• Experience with C# (.NET Core), React, and TypeScript, or a readiness to pick them up quickly.
• A strong understanding of API design and cloud services.
• Experience designing scalable, reliable architectures and defining long‑term technical strategies.
• The ability to align multiple teams toward cohesive solutions.
• A user‑focused approach to building maintainable, value‑driven features.
• Proven ability to mentor engineers and foster a high‑performing, inclusive culture.
• A clear communicator who can influence across teams and articulate complex concepts to diverse stakeholders.

Our Principles in Action:

• Fix healthcare communication: Healthcare systems are struggling; our solution is communication - all of our efforts are centred here.
• Raise the bar: We have built an exceptional team to solve hard challenges.
• Be a driver, not a passenger: We make things happen, focus on the right problems, and bring the energy to deliver ambitious goals.
• Succeed together: We succeed only as a team.
• Move with urgency: We’re on a mission, and every day lost is a missed opportunity to improve lives.
• Be relentlessly resourceful: We embrace constraints as they force us to think differently, be creative, and focus.
• Embrace challenge: We value constructive conflict over harmony, having tough conversations for the best outcome.

What we can offer:

• £110,000‑£135,000 salary + the value of £80,000 share options.
• Access to Happl – a flexible benefits provider with a given budget of £400 to spend on perks of your choice.
• Flexible Working: We are an office‑first culture and ask you to be in at least 3 days a week.
• Enhanced parental leave policy.
• Free healthy breakfasts, snacks and lunches will be provided, with the occasional sweet treat!
• And much more.
