Senior TypeScript Back-End Engineer
Senior TypeScript Back-End Engineer – £80,000–£100,000 + Bonus | Hybrid — 3 days/week in London
My client helps private clinics reduce patient anxiety and affordability barriers by pairing educational treatment content with an embedded finance solution — so more people can access the care they need. Backed by a purpose-driven B-Corp, they combine the stability and industry expertise of an established leader with the agility of a startup. Having launched their initial product and gained traction, they’re now scaling for phase two.
They’re looking for a Senior Back-End Engineer who blends technical depth with product intuition — someone who’ll shape the platform, lead from the front, and solve complex scaling challenges in healthcare fintech.
What you’ll be doing:
This isn’t just about shipping endpoints — it’s about owning problems end-to-end and influencing the product lifecycle. You’ll:
- Lead and collaborate with engineers to design, build, and support extensible, low-maintenance back-end services.
- Partner with Product, Design, Operations, and Growth to prioritise customer-facing and internal problems that drive value.
- Champion security, observability, and reliability best practices.
- Mentor teammates and help cultivate a healthy, innovative engineering culture.
Tech Stack:
- Core: TypeScript / JavaScript (server-side)
- Cloud & Infra: AWS (cloud-based architectures), Docker, CI/CD; IaC such as Terraform or CloudFormation
- Quality & Ops: Security and observability tooling/best practices
- Bonus exposure: React on the front end (nice to have)
What we’re looking for
We value skill and impact over strict year counts. You should have:
- Strong TypeScript/JavaScript fundamentals and experience building high-traffic server-side web applications.
- Solid understanding of cloud-based application architecture (preferably AWS).
- Hands-on experience with Docker and CI/CD tooling.
- Practical grasp of security and observability best practices.
- Clear, collaborative communication and leadership skills.
Why join?
- Work on meaningful problems in a fun, healthy, productive environment.
- Competitive package: £80k–£100k + Bonus, up to 10% employer pension, 28 days holiday (plus bank holidays), health cash plan, 4× life assurance, £600 health & wellbeing budget, away days, and flexible working.
- Hybrid setup: 3 days/week in London.
