Description
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 of 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.
OUR PRINCIPLES
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.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
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.

What success looks like
A BIT ABOUT US
Office: 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.
Working Pattern: 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.
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REAL UPSIDE
We are purposeful about building a company that is inclusive of all people; from race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, neurodiversity, disability, colour, and national origin. We don’t just want people who fit in, we want them to fit together.

- 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

- 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
