The Role
Join our fast-growing team to deliver high-quality, well-engineered solutions that improve patient outcomes and primary care efficiency.

- Track record of raising standards and driving improvement.
- Strong hands-on technical skills (Python, TypeScript, React, AWS, DevOps, etc.).
- Excellent communicator, able to explain complex ideas simply.
- Ownership mindset - comfortable with ambiguity and end-to-end responsibility.
- Excited to work closely with Product and Design as true partners.
- 3+ years' recent experience in relevant technologies.
- Bonus: Healthcare or B2B SaaS experience.
Who This Role Isn't For

- Prefer only early-stage or PoC work.
- Want narrowly defined, low-ambiguity roles.
- Not interested in leadership or raising the bar.
Benefits
