Senior Software Engineer

Ready to revolutionize healthcare, making it faster and more accessible than ever before?

About the role: We are looking for talented and experienced Senior Software Engineers to work on our range of successful eCommerce sites and help sustain our trajectory of rapid growth. Our stack predominantly runs in AWS, migrating towards Docker/K8s and Microservices.

We operate in an Agile way and encourage innovative thinking in everything we do. Every member of our development team has a significant impact on our products. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our systems and architecture to ensure we have a system that is reliable, performant, and flexible for future change.

What you'll be doing:

• Design, implement and test new features, experiments, or flows.
• Partner with our product and design teams. Help them explore and prototype new product ideas, clarify requirements, and understand the technical options available for achieving our business objectives and delighting our users.
• Act as a subject matter expert regarding build tools, code, unit tests, and frameworks.
• Maintain and improve the codebase; recognize duplication, apply SOLID principles, and pragmatically address technical debt as the opportunity or need arises.
• Mentor other engineers in your areas of expertise.
• Help to continuously improve our processes, practices, and architecture.
• Help build a great engineering culture with your engineering colleagues across the company.

Who you are:

• Bachelor's degree or higher in computer science or a related subject.
• Strong knowledge of Java and the JVM ecosystem with tools such as Spring MVC/Boot and JPA.
• A good understanding of how to design and architect backend systems.
• A pragmatic mindset with a bias to action - you know both what good looks like, and that working is better than perfect, and can walk a line between the two.
• Interpersonal and communication skills that enable you to explain complex topics to people and audiences from different backgrounds.
• Comfortable with the amount of change, delivery focus, and ambiguity associated with a company that is rapidly scaling and disrupting existing markets.

Why work with us? At HeliosX, we want to improve healthcare for everyone, and to do this we need a team of brilliant people who share that ambition. We are currently a diverse team of engineers, scientists, clinical researchers, physicians, pharmacists, marketeers, and customer care specialists committed to our mission - but we need more talented folks to join us, if we want to achieve our global ambitions!

Aside from working with our all-star team, here are the other benefits of coming on board:

• Generous equity allocations with significant upside potential
• 25 Days Holiday (+ all the usual Bank Holidays)
• Private health insurance, along with extra dental and eye care cover
• Enhanced parental leave
• Cycle-to-work Scheme
• Electric Car Scheme
• Free Dermatica and MedExpress products every month, as well as family discounts
