Engineering Lead

Remote working (HQ in Euston, London)  

About us

We are a fast growing, venture capital backed business founded 6 years ago, applying the best digital technology to solve one of healthcare's most important challenges - how to engage front line teams in continuously improving quality and patient safety. Our aim is to bring a transformational digital user experience to front line staff, across all health and social care settings, by removing manual paper-based processes, thereby freeing up time to care. In doing so, we provide front-line teams with the information and evidence needed to improve their services. We seek to provide management, boards, and investors in these sectors with a real time view of quality across their organisations so they can support quality improvement and evidence quality.

Based off an exceptional early-stage product, our business currently supplies a range of blue-chip organisations both in the UK and now in 2 other international markets. However, we now seek to take our offering to the next level. Our business has ambitious growth plans for product development (new features and modules) as well as international sales.

We actively seek out people who demonstrate our four core values:

• Focus relentlessly on our customers' needs
• Committed to working as part of an outstanding team
• Impatient for change and want to improve things quickly
• Innovate with purpose
