About Foundation Health

Foundation Health is transforming healthcare through an AI-powered digital pharmacy platform that seamlessly connects operational infrastructure with high quality patient experiences. Our mission is to transform patient centric care by connecting fragmented infrastructure, optimizing care coordination, and removing friction from the patient journey.

This ambitious vision is only achievable with the dedication of the right team propelling us forward. We firmly believe that a supportive and inspiring work environment fuels creativity, transforming it into groundbreaking innovation. It is this very innovation that not only benefits our organization but also positively impacts our people, partners, and most importantly, our patients.

Lead Software Engineer

As Foundation Health is still a growing start up, this is an ideal opportunity to join & help shape our evolving tech stack. Our strategy is to leverage managed services & serverless technologies to help deliver our platform quickly & in a scalable way, without the headache of managing complex infrastructure.

We're currently using the following languages & technologies:

Node.js with Typescript

Google Cloud Platform services including:

Cloud Functions

The Candidate

We're looking to build a team of highly skilled Engineers that are looking for opportunities to own & deliver entire sections of our products. This is a great opportunity for someone who is motivated by solving technical challenges & looking to help architect new solutions.

We are looking for candidates who are comfortable taking on ownership of the things they build. This means that it will be up to the individuals to ensure they are building things in a reliable, scalable, cost-efficient & compliant manner.

We want individuals who have great ideas and are keen to share them. This is an evolving team and we develop our standards & culture together. Therefore we want to ensure that we balance the best of fully remote working with in-person collaboration.

What you will be doing

Below are our responsibilities, some of which might seem daunting but rest assured, these are responsibilities that will be shared across the entire team!

Building large sections of functionality, even entire services. This is a small team & there's lots to do so you won't be doing small bits & pieces all over the place.

Reviewing the code & testing the features of your fellow engineers. We're all QA here!

Providing 24/7 support for the things you build. Our goal is to prioritise stability & minimise the need for this but it is a responsibility that we will all share as a team.

Getting involved in recruitment processes, as we look to scale our teams.

Help shape infrastructure choices and evaluate emerging technologies

Drive adoption of engineering best practices (code quality, reliability, security)

Mentor and support other engineers at all levels

What we are looking for

We're not concerned by formal qualifications so don't worry if you don't have a Computer Science degree. We are however looking for candidates with real industry experience. This is a senior role in a small team so the decisions you make will have wide impacts for the entire company. With that in mind we ask for candidates with the following experience:

10+ years of commercial experience in modern languages (Typescript / Golang / Rust / C# / Java)

5+ years of commercial experience with Typescript

5+ years of working on web APIs / services

5+ years working with a modern frontend framework (Svelte / Angular / React / Vue.js)

3+ years experience leading Engineering teams.

Experience working with Infrastructure as Code technologies (Terraform, AWS CloudFormation etc.)

Experience working on containerised apps

Experience working with serverless technologies (GCP preferred but not essential)

Experience working in the HealthCare industry

Experience working in an eCommerce setting
