Company mission
To build the front door of UK healthcare. A place where every appointment is instantly bookable, and patients are navigated to the right place first time using AI. 26% of England use our registration software, and 20% of London now use Bookable Search to help new patients book an appointment with registration. Our latest product Bookable Navigator is designed to automatically book appointments for existing patients.
Role
Who you are

What the job involves
- This is for a product-minded full stack senior software engineer who wants to move with extreme urgency and have complete autonomy
- You'll help build and scale our product, working across teams and directly with our customers
- You are operating at a senior or lead level and have 5+ years of experience, with expertise in React and TypeScript
- You’ve experienced a startup or scale up especially at an early stage. You’ve been part of a small squad of high performing engineers and you weren’t just “one of many”
- You may have a founders/entrepreneurial mindset or have been a technical founder yourself and get the early stage growth journey
- You pride yourself on producing high quality code which scales effectively into different environments
- You feel accountable for the end-to-end solution and can build our product which can handle various NHS "oddities"

- Tech environment:
- Fullstack (Backend leaning): TypeScript or similar

- Data: Working with production systems and performance considerations
- Experience in scaling product environments or high-stakes domains (health, finance, infra) is a strong advantage
- What success looks like:
- You ship intuitive, high-quality user experiences that clinicians and patients rely on daily
- You influence product direction, not just implementation
- You identify and solve performance and usability challenges before they become problems
- You become a trusted voice across engineering, product, and design
- The team delivers faster and better because of you!
Salary benchmarks
Our take
The NHS is one of the few totally publicly-funded healthcare services in the world, and has treated millions of people since 1948. However, growing pressures from an ageing population, higher patient expectations and the after-effects of the pandemic are having a negative effect on the system’s ability to serve patients with the care they deserve.
A major factor in the NHS’s struggles is the time its staff and patients spend on administrative tasks, such as patient registration, which is what Healthtech-1 hopes to address. The company develops automation tools that it describes as the "front door" of UK healthcare. In short, it has developed a single platform where patients can instantly find the service and location that suit their needs and seamlessly book an appointment in the process. Utilising the power of AI, Healthtech-1 is building critical booking infrastructure, making healthcare accessible and simple for patients and clinicians across the UK.
The company boasts support from NHS Digital as well as Innovate UK and Y-Combinator, and is clearly targeting a valuable problem. With its patient registration product now live across 26% of NHS GP Practices, and its second product, Bookable Search, now used by over 20% of London, it's no surprise that in 2025, Sifted named it the 8th fastest-growing startup in the UK. It will be interesting to see how Healthtech-1 can further support the NHS moving forward.
