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. Which means longer wait times, fewer appointments and lower quality care for the people who need it most. The NHS is beautiful, but broken. 35% of NHS staff are employed to complete administrative work all day, every day. We're focused on relentlessly automating repetitive processes within the NHS. With this wedge in the market, we're now building more powerful tech that unlocks access to healthcare for the entire nation.
As one of our Founding Product Engineers, you’ll own and shape the experiences used every day by patients and clinicians where performance, clarity, and reliability directly impact care. This is for a product-minded full stack engineer who 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. 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.
- Fullstack (Backend leaning): React, TypeScript (core focus)
- Data: Working with production systems and performance considerations
- AI: Integrating modern AI models into real-world healthcare workflows
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.
We’re all NHS staff. Our office is within a GP practice. Pop downstairs to reception. 3-5 days in the office, depending on your team and the company schedule. 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 offer an additional 2 paid days off per year where you can give back to your mission of choice. In the past we’ve hiked box hill, raved at All Points East and spent one rainy day at Thorpe park. This is flexible and based on need but everyone will receive a yearly allocation towards their continual growth.
An additional 7 days of paid leave is available if you want to take time to learn how to meditate. 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! No private medical insurance, because we believe in the NHS and we are here to improve it!
Parental leave: Post passing probation it is: statutory - 6 weeks 90% pay then, SMP for 33 weeks; This is why we give an extra 5 days off per year if you or your partner are going through fertility treatment.
Pension - We operate a standard 3% employer contribution and employees auto-contribute 5% of their salary. Local living benefit - A one-off benefit to support living closer to the office: £5,000 if you live within a 30-minute walk, or £2,500 within a 30-minute bike. It is optional, available immediately on signing, and not linked to performance or progression.
If you choose to work late in the office, you can expense dinner after 7pm and an Uber home after 9pm, or earlier if you feel unsafe travelling in the dark. This is optional and about wellbeing, not performance or expectations.
We care about building a product that is loved and a culture that is rich in perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. 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.
