Job Description

Accurx is already the communication software of choice for 98% of NHS GP practises in England and is quickly expanding to other healthcare settings. We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join us and help shape the future, and growth of our product.

Working with key stakeholders within the product organisation, you will pioneer development and be relied upon as one of our greatest technical experts.

To best service healthcare practices and build a scalable solution that will be used in every GP practice, hospital and care home in the UK we currently work with C# (.net core), Kubernetes, SQL, React, ES6, TypeScript and Redux (check out our full tech stack here). However, we are constantly learning, iterating and improving. As we continue to grow at a phenomenal rate, who knows what tech stack we will be working with soon - and you could be the person to show us!

Your day-to-day tasks, should you choose to accept this mission ...

• As a Senior Product Engineer, you’ll scale and innovate our product like never before, as well as build brand-new solutions.
• Every day you’ll be applying the “product engineer” mindset.
• This means being close to users and their needs (e.g. getting involved in user research by joining sessions with patients and their healthcare teams), helping decide what we build (e.g. collaborating on design and specifications), building with a focus on the end goal and being responsible for continuous improvement to the live services you have shipped.
• You'll play a key role in driving technical product choices as part of a cross-functional team.
• You'll be a strong individual contributor, delivering (or leading) complex features reliably and efficiently.
• You'll be responsible for identifying gaps in our wider engineering capability and raise them with the relevant stakeholders.
• You'll support the growth of more junior engineers within your product team.

We'd really like to hear from you, if ...

• You have proven consistent success as a Senior Backend Engineer / Senior Product Engineer
• We work with C# (.Net core), so ideally you will have experience in C#, C++ or Java. It's ok if you don't as long as you are willing to learn!
• You have experience working in a highly user-centric business, in a multidisciplinary team, where you are used to collaborating closely with other engineers as well as product, UX and design, to deliver value to users.
• Although not essential it would be great if you had worked in a scaling product organisation.
