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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Practical grasp of security and observability best practices.
  • Clear, collaborative communication and leadership skills.

 

Why join?
