Senior Product Engineer

Let's make the NHS the most advanced healthcare system in the world. The world's best healthcare, for free. It's not a new idea, it's called the NHS. But the largest healthcare provider is fundamentally broken. So we're on a mission to fix it with technology that actually works. We love the NHS because it's accessible to all, free at the point of delivery and employs millions up and down the UK. But we've all read the headlines. It's under intense pressure with rising costs, GP strikes, budget uncertainty and an ageing population. Which means longer wait times, fewer appointments and lower quality care for the people who need it most. The NHS is beautiful, but broken.

The largest cost (£66bn+) is staff, who spend a ridiculous amount of time on mundane admin. 35% of NHS staff are employed to complete administrative work all day, every day. And that's where we're making a difference. We're focused on relentlessly automating repetitive processes within the NHS. And we've had great early success. Our first product, Automated Registrations, is already used by 24% of GP practices in England. With this wedge in the market, we're now building more powerful tech that unlocks access to healthcare for the entire nation. Check out bookable.health for a sneak peek.

Our Principles:

As one of our Senior Product Engineers, you'll own and shape the experiences used every day by patients and clinicians where performance, clarity, and reliability directly impact care.

What's on offer:

• Salary: £90,000 - £125,000 + equity
• Location: Stratford (London) - 4 days in office - 1 day WFH

What we're looking for:

• This is for a product-minded full stack engineer that has a founders mentality that wants to move with extreme urgency and have complete autonomy.
• You'll help build and scale our product, working across teams and directly with our customers.
• You will have 5+ years of experience, with expertise in React and TypeScript.
• You've experienced a startup or scale up especially at early stage.
• You're comfortable owning ambiguous problems end-to-end.
• Care deeply about user experience, performance, and simplicity - you seek the feedback loop!
• You constantly raise the bar for both engineering and product not just internally but in our customers' eyes.
• Someone that thrives in autonomy, responsibility, and building things that truly matter.

Tech environment:

• Fullstack (Backend leaning): React, TypeScript (core focus)
• APIs: Designing and consuming scalable, well-structured services
• Data: Working with production systems and performance considerations
• AI: Integrating modern AI models into real-world healthcare workflows
• Experience in scaling product environments or high-stakes domains (health, finance, infra) is a strong advantage.

What success looks like:

• You ship intuitive, high-quality user experiences that clinicians and patients rely on daily.
• You influence product direction, not just implementation.
• You identify and solve performance and usability challenges before they become problems.
• You become a trusted voice across engineering, product, and design.
• The team delivers faster and better because of you.

A bit about us:

We're all NHS staff. We're inside outsiders. Trusted with one of the biggest datasets in the world. Our office is within a GP practice. This is our unfair advantage. Got a question? Pop down the corridor. Want to learn how your work affects real patients? Pop downstairs to reception.

We highly prioritise in person communication and prefer candidates who want to work 4+ days a week in the office. Our anchor days are Mon, Tues and Fri. Homemade breakfast and lunch are on the house every day when you're in the office, ensuring you're fuelled for success!

We work in growth cycles. Every 8 weeks we do the same set of activities. 1 week outside of Business-as-Usual to research, strategise, plan our work. 7 weeks to knuckle down and deliver it.

We're highly collaborative. One of the benefits of a high trust team is we often work autonomously, but as a team we're very collaborative by nature. Two heads are often better than one, and we frequently lean on each other to solve problems together.

We're backed by industry leaders. We're on the DigitalHealth.London Accelerator, backed by the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Program, winners of the London Business School Healthtech Challenge, Innovate UK, and Y Combinator (S23).

An opportunity for real upside:

• Paid volunteer days. We offer an additional 2 paid days off per year where you can give back to your mission of choice.
• Every 8 weeks we take a day off to socialise as a team. In the past we've hiked box hill, raved at All Points East and spent one rainy day at Thorpe park. This works out as 6 working days a year.
• Learning budget of £250 annually and time off to spend it - we care about this; this is flexible and based on need but everyone will receive a yearly allocation towards their continual growth.
• Health and fitness budget of £60 per month.
• An additional 7 days of paid leave is available if you want to take time to learn how to meditate.
• Tooling; You'll have your choice of operating systems and any additional tools you need to do your best work (e.g. keyboard, additional monitors, mouse etc). If you're on our Engineering teams you'll receive the latest MacBook Pro and our Growth & Ops teams receives a MacBook Air.
• We know health and family come first which is why we have a generous sick leave policy with additional days that can be taken for mental health leave.
• We prioritise time outside of work to bond, once a year we'll holiday together! Destination chosen by popular vote.

Inclusive & Diverse by Design:

We care about building a product that is loved and a culture that is rich in perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. Our team represents more than ten different cultures. We come together every lunch time for a home cooked meal, rotated among team members! We want everyone in our team to know that they belong. We are purposeful about this and are proactively building a company that is inclusive of all people; from race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, neurodiversity, disability, colour, and national origin - essentially every type of diversity. We don't want people who fit in, we want them to fit together. We're active in continually improving the way we make this happen.
