• Scaled to over 100,000 monthly active patients across our weight-management program.
• Grew the UK patient base from 4,000 to ~40,000 and received selective NICE endorsement to provide services to the NHS.
• Tailored our offering to over 5,000 patients in Germany and Japan

About the role (What you’ll be doing)

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our engineering team. You’ll be joining an efficient and collaborative 50 person engineering team that’s building the platform to solve the world’s toughest healthcare challenges.

You will:

• Be a key architectural voice in designing robust and scalable software.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams in product, design, marketing, creative, analytics, and operations to build the best telehealth experiences for our patients
• Build tools for internal Euc employees including doctors, health coaches and the medical operations team (so we ave a very tight feedback loop!)
• Iteratively build new features, balancing rapid prototyping with stability, security, and modularity
• Provide mentorship and knowledge sharing amongst the wider team. Bring your ideas to the table, and help our team run as effectively as possible

About you (Who you are)

• A problem solver at heart. You’re able to work in a fluid and fast paced environment where you may not always have all the information you need
• Ability to ideate on our products. Engineering is able to influence the product direction so we’re building the right things in the right way
• Capable of engaging in considered and productive discourse with others on a regular basis, especially during technical scoping
• Adaptable, sometimes requirements change and we need to be able to move with them
• Several years in a similar role at other startups, scale-ups or software companies under your belt, using elements of our tech stack.
• A Fullstack Software Engineer, capable and willing to contribute to both frontend and backend code bases. Ideally a specialist in one
• You own what you ship and have been involved in the full product lifecycle. You have experience leading projects, from discovery, design, architecture and system design, all the way through to work breakdown, implementation and monitoring.
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills

Why you should join Engineering at Euc

• We’re on a quest to build a robust, scalable, configurable, multi-brand platform (that’s also enjoyable to work on!) on which we can solve the world’s biggest healthcare challenges, and you can be a pivotal player in that journey.
  • We’re a lean 20 person engineering team, so you can have genuine input on what we build and how we build it
• We have a high performance culture
  • We have a high bar for talent, so you’ll get to learn from some of the best engineers in the industry
  • We write as many low quality memes as we do high quality PRs
  • We optimise for velocity and deploy to production hundreds of times a month. Once you merge your code, it’s in prod in minutes
• You’ll get to work with a modern tech stack that we’re always improving. If something isn’t working for us, we’ll iterate until we get it right and everyone on the team is encouraged to help refine it.
  • Frontend: React, React Native + Expo, TypeScript, Apollo, Tailwind
  • Backend: Node (TypeScript) and Go microservices, Federated GraphQL, gRPC, Protobufs, Pub/Sub and Postgres, hosted on GCP Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
• You’ll work on interesting engineering challenges:
  • Euc has a large appetite for product development, so we have a roadmap of innovative, greenfield features to work on
  • We've been running microservices smoothly in production for a few years, but there is still a lot of complex business logic in our legacy mono-repo to understand, break down, improve and port across.
  • We strive for efficiency and invest heavily in internal tooling to improve developer experience
• We’ll invest in your growth, development and career
  • When we introduced Go microservices we invested in upskilling the whole team in a new language
  • No matter which direction you want to take your career, we’ll provide opportunities for you
  • Every engineer has a yearly Learning and Development budget that they can use for courses, books, conferences, anything to help you learn.
