Our client writes code that actually changes lives.
Not in a "we disrupted the lunch ordering space" kind of way. We mean genuinely changes lives — restoring sight to people who would otherwise go without. Millions of people worldwide are losing their vision unnecessarily, and this award-winning team is on a mission to fix that. They're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join them.
So what will you actually be doing?
You'll be joining a tight-knit, senior engineering team building and scaling the technology that powers eye care programmes across the globe. That means full-stack work — from mobile apps in the field to cloud-hosted services — and the kind of infrastructure challenges that come with deploying in genuinely diverse, real-world settings.
Recent highlights from the team include building WhatsApp-based reminder services to improve patient engagement, integrating data analytics tooling with AWS Athena, and shipping automatic update pipelines for a hybrid mobile application. Interesting problems. Real stakes.
Day-to-day you'll be:
- Designing and delivering robust, scalable software end-to-end
- Building, testing, and deploying high-quality solutions in an Agile environment
- Owning infrastructure provisioning, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring
- Providing 2nd/3rd-line troubleshooting support
- Collaborating closely with product teams to shape the right solutions
What they're looking for
You must have:
- Strong, production-level TypeScript — you live and breathe it, front and back end
- Solid Node.js experience building and maintaining backend services at scale
- Meaningful hands-on experience with Angular — this is a core part of the stack
- Working knowledge of NestJS — it's important, and you'll be using it regularly
- Solid experience with Linux, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines
- A strong testing culture — you write tests because you believe in them, not because someone told you to
- A proven track record across the full software development lifecycle in Agile teams
Nice to have:
- Experience with MongoDB
- Mobile development experience (Cordova/Android)
- Cloud infrastructure know-how — AWS, Ansible, Rundeck, or similar
- Infrastructure-as-code experience with a major cloud provider
The setup
- Fully remote — open to candidates across multiple time zones (UTC -1 to UTC +3)
- Flexible hours, with a daily overlap window of 10:00–16:00 UTC Mon–Fri (~40 hrs/week)
- Optional travel up to ~8% per year
- UK salary: £70,000 – £75,000 — with equivalent ranges benchmarked for other countries (Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Spain, and more)
Why apply?
Because our client offers one of those rare roles where the work genuinely matters. You'll have real ownership, work alongside people who care deeply about what they're building, and help shape systems that reach millions of patients every year. They describe it themselves as more than just a job — it's a chance to make a real impact alongside supportive, mission-driven colleagues.
If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
