Product Engineer

TypeScript | Node.js | Postgres | React

£80,000–£130,000 + equity | Onsite (4 days per week, Stratford, London)

We're looking for a Product Engineer to join a fast-growing engineering team building the infrastructure behind a widely-used healthtech platform. This role suits someone who wants to be genuinely user-facing and commercially curious, taking ownership of features end to end rather than just shipping tickets.

You'll work in a backend-heavy environment (TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres) building the next generation of booking products, rotating across squads every 8 to 16 weeks to give broad exposure to the platform rather than sitting fixed in one area.

What you'll be working on

• Designing and delivering user-facing product features across a rotating squad structure
• Owning components end to end, from initial design through to production
• Working across booking and scheduling products spanning appointments, pharmacy and dentist services
• Bringing AI into your own daily workflow, ideally automating parts of your own work
• Collaborating closely with product on discovery and requirements
• Raising engineering standards through code review and informal mentoring
• Contributing to a small, tight-knit team with high ownership and high accountability

Technology environment

Frontend: React (lower priority, increasingly supported by AI tooling)

Backend: Node.js with TypeScript, Postgres

Squads: Foundations (core scaled products), plus new product squads covering booking and scheduling, rotating every 8 to 16 weeks

What you'll bring

• Mid to senior-level experience, or clear signals of ownership and responsibility if not yet at a senior title
• Strong TypeScript and Node.js engineering capability, with a product mindset
• Daily use of AI in your own workflow, not just familiarity with the concept
• Genuine motivation beyond the tech itself; this is a mission-driven environment and that needs to be authentic
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-ownership team rather than a heavily structured one
• Side projects, an active GitHub, or similar evidence of building outside of work is a strong plus

The impact you'll have

• Giving time back to frontline staff by automating the admin that eats into their day
• Shaping product direction on a platform already used by a meaningful share of GP practices in England
• Raising the bar on engineering practice as the team scales from a small base
• Working somewhere your day-to-day contact with the people you're building for is direct, not abstract

Working pattern: 4 days per week. This is a firm requirement and reflects a genuinely close-knit culture rather than a policy for its own sake.
