Description

Healthcare systems are struggling; our solution is communication.

We have a bold vision: everyone involved in a patient’s care - including the patient - should be able to communicate easily with each other. And we believe every NHS staff member should be using our software to make that happen. We want to make healthcare genuinely better.

We are solving one of the biggest challenges of our generation, and to do this, we need the best talent possible to help us raise the bar… this is where you come in.

Our products are used by over 98% of GP practices and half of NHS hospitals, impacting millions of lives. As a Senior Data Engineer, your role will be mission-critical. You will be central to shaping the core communication infrastructure of the NHS. You’ll directly enable faster, safer, and more accessible patient care by ensuring that the vast flow of communication data is structured, reliable, and ready to power life-saving insights and real-time decision-making.

The Unique Challenges You'll Solve

This isn't just about executing tasks or managing projects. You'll be:

Architecting for the NHS Scale: Designing and scaling a robust data architecture that handles massive event-driven communication flows across nearly every GP practice in the UK.

Bridging the Gap Between Engineering and Insight: Collaborating deeply with product and data teams to transform raw healthcare communication data into high-performance models for analytics and Machine Learning.

Building Resilient ELT Ecosystems: Implementing sophisticated ELT practices in a cloud environment where data integrity and security are paramount for patient safety.

What We're Looking For

We need a Senior Data Engineer who embodies our Principles and thrives on significant challenges. We're seeking the core skills below:

Expert at building data pipelines: Strong experience building and maintaining complex, scalable data pipelines using Python and SQL.
Cloud Data Warehousing Mastery: Deep knowledge of modern cloud data warehousing (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift) and advanced ELT practices.
Architectural Vision: Proven experience designing data architecture to support various downstream needs, including analytics, ML, and event-driven systems.
Collaborative Leadership: Comfort working with and influencing stakeholders across engineering, product, and data, as well as external partners.

Product-Minded Engineering: A mindset focused on real impact, treating data as a product that enables better healthcare outcomes.

Relentless Resourcefulness: The ability to embrace constraints and think creatively to solve the technical hurdles of legacy healthcare data integration.

Our Principles in Action

Fix healthcare communication: Healthcare systems are struggling; our solution is communication - all of our efforts are centred here.
Raise the bar: We have built an exceptional team to solve hard challenges. We hire for expertise and new ideas, maintaining high standards, giving honest feedback, and only delivering work we're proud of.
Be a driver, not a passenger: We make things happen, focus on the right problems, and bring the energy to deliver ambitious goals.
Succeed together: We succeed only as a team. Our mission is too important for anything less, so company success always comes first.
Move with urgency: We’re on a mission, and every day lost is a missed opportunity to improve lives. We work at pace and focus on our mission, our users, and our impact.
Be relentlessly resourceful: We embrace constraints as they force us to think differently, be creative, and focus.

Embrace challenge: We value constructive conflict over harmony, having tough conversations for the best outcome.

What We Can Offer

We believe in supporting our team to do their best work, and thrive both professionally and personally.

£85,000 - £105,000 salary + share options
