Front End Software Engineer - JavaScript

We’re - a pioneering gastrointestinal health diagnostics company enabling more patients early access and detection for esophageal cancer and Barrett’s esophagus. Our technology brings a minimally invasive diagnostic approach to market - our test combines a swallowable pill-like device with advanced biomarkers and analytics to help detect disease earlier and faster. What started as an idea between a health-tech entrepreneur and leading clinical scientists at Cambridge University has quickly grown into an international company operating across the UK and US, backed by investors such as EQT Life Sciences and a $44M Series B investment. But we still work like a startup - because we are one. That’s the reality of building a company that’s growing fast and trying to genuinely change patient outcomes. We’re building processes, teams, products and ways of working in real time. If the idea of helping build something ambitious from the ground up excites you - and you want your work to have a real-world impact on people’s lives - we’d love to hear from you. Initial conversation – Run by Maddie from our People team, this is a relaxed online chat so we can learn more about you and your background, and so you can learn more about us too. # Line manager interview – This online chat explores the role in more detail through scenario-based and role-specific questions to see how you would bring your skills and knowledge into Cyted. # In this online meeting, you will get to discuss your goals and explore how they align with the company’s history and future vision. Clinicians, laboratory staff, pathologists, and most of all, patients are at the heart of what you will do. You will translate complex clinical workflows into clear, accessible and scalable front-end solutions. Branching out of the software engineering team, you will also leverage opportunities to work with product and clinical stakeholders internally at Cyted, and externally. We love inventive and innovative perspectives to bring fresh approaches that lead the way we build robust and reusable components to strengthen the front-end architecture. You will immerse yourself in challenging assumptions, driving practical solutions and reliably step up to shape how our team delivers high quality to clinicians, laboratory staff, pathologists and patients. This role is a full-time position with a standard 37.5 hour working week. You will be based at the Cyted’s Head Office, Ground Floor, Building 3, Old Swiss, 149 Cherry Hinton Road, Cambridge, CB1 7BX, UK and be expected to be in the office 3 days per week. Front End Development Translate complex clinical workflows into simple, effective digital experiences. Partner with backend engineers and international stakeholders to deliver a seamless end to end product. Build robust, scalable and reusable front end components and patterns. Build reusable code and shared libraries that strengthen long term architecture. Drive forward new technologies and approaches that improve productivity and quality. Define test plans, write automated tests and conduct manual testing when needed. Contribute to Agile delivery and continuous improvement. To immerse yourself in how we operate, you will do some compliance training related to our lab quality management system, and get right into our sprint meetings: stand ups, demos, retros and planning. Whilst understanding our objectives, priorities and software stack, in your first month you will get stuck in contributing to our team outcomes by delivering and testing code. From chats and meetings with wider team members, you will start to form a solid understanding of what they really need from our software. You will also have helped with triaging and responding to support requests from colleagues around the business for a sprint and informed where our priorities are for the next quarter in a team day. We’re looking for a senior software engineer with the technical depth and practical experience to build high quality systems in a fast-moving, mission-driven environment. A minimum of four years experience in a software engineering role Experience with AWS and Terraform Ability to build RESTful APIs in JVM languages such as Scala or Kotlin Approaches building web frontends using React and TypeScript Following our recent Series B fund raise and with increasing national attention, we’re entering a defining stage of growth - and our values guide how we scale. As a senior software engineer, you’ll bring those values to life in the way you design, build and ship technology that matters. For you, care means building systems that are reliable, intuitive and resilient. We’re scaling fast and building in a complex, regulated space, but we’re not here to follow. You’ll help define what great engineering looks like in a new category of diagnostics. You’ll understand the science, the data flows, the workflow logic and the constraints of real-world clinical settings. Every service you ship, integration you refine and problem you resolve brings us closer to earlier, better care for patients. If this is the environment where you do your best engineering, we should talk. 25 days’ holiday + public holidays with the ability to purchase up to 5 additional days Matched pension contributions up to 7% Company paid private health insurance with access to wellbeing and fitness discounts , including dental, optical and audiological cover Paid 4 week sabbatical after 4 years of service Company paid income protection of 75% base salary following a 13 week deferred period and company paid life insurance of 4x basic salary Regular team socials , Winter & Summer parties , and an annual Team Day Electric Vehicle and Cycle to Work Schemes through salary sacrifice
