What you'll do
- Own a domain inside the core Go codebase, contributing to architecture decisions and code quality within your area
- Work inside a well structured system with some standalone services around the edges, including an on premise gateway for hospital integrations
- Step in and keep things moving when your lead is away, taking ownership with confidence rather than waiting for instruction
- Contribute to pull requests, reviews, and technical discussions as a trusted senior voice on your team
- Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies and suggest or implement improvements
- Be ready to take charge of priorities and keep things moving if your lead is away, supporting and mentoring other engineers along the way without needing to manage a team
- Work closely with product and design to translate business needs into technical solutions, and communicate technical progress, risks and trade-offs clearly
- Ship reliably against the team's roadmap, help break down features into deliverable tasks, and identify and remove blockers as they come up
- Use AI tooling as a genuine part of day to day work, whether accelerating how you write and review code, prototyping ideas faster, or finding smarter ways to work
- Continuously optimise the backend code to offer the best user experience
- Analyse and improve database slowdowns and issues
- Build internal automation and additional tooling, such as performance profiling tools to identify bottlenecks in backend services and optimise resource usage
What we're looking for
- CS degree or equivalent knowledge, and 4 to 5 plus years coding full time professionally
- Production experience in Golang, or another C family language with a real, demonstrable ability to operate in Go without hand holding
- Some experience supporting or mentoring other engineers, and looking for a strong individual contributor role rather than a path into people management
- Want to become a technical owner of part of the codebase, looking for responsibility but not a team to manage
- Clear, confident communicator, comfortable being put on the spot in a conversation and able to think out loud rather than defaulting to async only communication when something needs a real time answer
- Writing skills matter, so written questions, requirements, and docs are genuinely valuable
- Comfortable and excited to dive into more advanced topics, for example build pipelines, caching mechanisms, and database optimisation
- Experience with CI and testing frameworks
- Proactive and proficient across the entire product development flow, asking questions, clarifying specs, raising doubts, and engaging in meetings
- Genuinely excited about what AI can do for engineering, with curiosity and a real point of view on where this is heading
Nice to have
- Healthcare experience
- FHIR, HL7, or DICOM exposure
Benefits
Corporate Culture: structures that foster high performance and strong team dynamics, mutual respect, loyalty, and recognition
- Work with Purpose: real impact on patients and healthcare professionals in the medical field
- Flexibility
- Edenred card
