We run on our own machines in high-security data centres as well as hosting some systems in Azure. We have Infrastructure and Site Reliability Engineers who work closely with the development team on deployments and monitoring.

We have a team of 15 developers who are very capable and committed and work in a very collaborative environment. We are now looking to extend that team with another Senior Software Engineer.

The main requirements for this role are significant C# and web-development experience. We are looking for someone that is happy to take end-to-end responsibility for producing a feature with the ability to communicate effectively across functions (Product, QA, SRE etc). You should be keen to take ownership of areas of the code base, mentor junior developers and help improve our processes.

We take a functional approach to C# code and there will be an expectation for you to learn that if you don’t have existing knowledge.

Our technical teams all work remotely, we have regular calls for progress updates and knowledge sharing but you will need to be able to work under your own initiative.

We encourage developers to share their expertise with the rest of the team and run book clubs and presentations to facilitate this.

Career progression for individual contributors is valued here and we have several team members that now hold Principal Software Engineer positions, we also have a distinct track for those interested in team lead and other management roles.

We need creatively minded individuals who can solve unique problems; not just technical ones, but in improving healthcare too. We value people that can address real-world problems and think creatively and with empathy for the end user.

Ideally, you will be degree educated, but beyond that what we want to see is experience and a passion for what you do.

You must be a UK resident and have the right to work in the UK. Some of our environments require security vetting and you should be comfortable undertaking that process.

Skills & Requirements:
Significant experience in C# and evidence of a varied career in software development.
Web application development experience.
