Software Engineer

Forward Deployed Engineer

📍 London, 5 days onsite

💰 £100-130k + meaningful equity

🌍 Visa sponsorship available

Summary

We're working with an exciting London-based AI startup building technology to solve one of the biggest operational challenges in healthcare.

Founded 2 years ago, they've already raised around £20m, reached an ~£80m valuation and deployed their technology across many hospitals. The engineering team includes people from Palantir, Google and Apple.

They're now looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join the team and own the end-to-end delivery of AI-powered workflows used in real healthcare environments.

They're looking for a strong product-minded engineer who enjoys working across the stack, solving ambiguous problems and shipping software quickly.

The current stack includes Python/FastAPI, TypeScript, React and Postgres.

About the Role

This is an autonomous engineering role where you'll work across the full product lifecycle; understanding problems directly from customers, designing solutions and shipping them into production.

You'll work closely with healthcare teams to understand how they operate, translate non-technical requirements into software and feed what you learn back into the core product.

The environment is fast-moving and deliberately flat, with engineers expected to take ownership beyond their immediate responsibilities and work closely with both the product team and founders.

This is particularly well suited to someone who enjoys the combination of product engineering, AI and direct customer interaction rather than working several layers removed from the end user.

What We're Looking For

• Strong professional software engineering experience
• Experience building and shipping full-stack products
• Commercial experience with Python and/or TypeScript
• Comfortable working across backend and frontend systems
• Strong product instincts and ability to turn ambiguous requirements into working software
• High degree of ownership and autonomy
• Comfortable working directly with customers and understanding real-world problems
• Experience in startups or other fast-moving engineering environments is a plus
• Interest in AI and building AI-powered products
• Based in or able to relocate to London and happy working onsite 5 days per week
