Senior / Lead Engineer - Fullstack, Node - AI HealthTech

£80,000 - £90,000

Hybrid

The Mission

My client is a VC-backed, early-stage AI HealthTech start-up focused on transforming how clinics operate. Their platform replaces outdated, fragmented healthcare software with an intelligent system that automates key workflows. The aim is to reduce administrative burden and allow clinicians to spend more time on patient care.

The Vision

They are developing a system that enhances clinician efficiency and supports better decision-making. By consolidating patient records, automating documentation and billing, and providing actionable insights, the platform enables clinics to operate more smoothly and deliver improved outcomes for patients.

The Problem They Solve

Many healthcare providers still rely on legacy systems that slow processes and require excessive administrative work. Clinicians often spend hours managing paperwork rather than seeing patients. My client's solution automates the full clinical workflow, integrating patient information across all stages of care to improve efficiency, financial performance, and patient experience.
