To transform how healthcare organisations and staff work together by using technology to solve this.
Role
Who you are
- Experience building and maintaining scalable, performant, and secure applications
- The ability to ensure quality (through testing or other measures) of the product and code shipped, efficiently, effectively and with a high cadence
- Strong experience with Python and Django
- Experience with performance and optimisation problems and a demonstrated ability to both diagnose and prevent these problems
- Demonstrated capacity to clearly and concisely communicate about complex technical, architectural, and/or organisational problems and propose thorough iterative solutions
- The ability to identify key issues that inhibit a team’s effectiveness and the ability to deliver product improvements at pace

What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Engineering team, where you will design and develop high impact features and implement improvements key in our company strategy growth
- As part of a small experienced team, you will have the opportunity to share your experience through mentoring and supporting others, identifying challenges, highlighting risks and suggesting improvements
- This is a highly collaborative environment where you can expect to work closely with product, design and engineering teams, to develop new features, integral in our mission to grow into the Primary Care Market
- You'll gain unparalleled exposure working in a cross-functional team with product and design as well as other engineers
- We champion the personal development of our people and to that end everyone of our engineers has 2 hours on a weekly basis blocked out in their diaries where they can pursue their own independent learning
- Collaborate with Product Managers, Designers and other Engineers to design and develop high impact features and improvements to our product
- Regularly ship iterative solutions with minimal guidance and support from other team members
- Develop features and improvements in a secure, scalable, well-tested, and performant way
- Craft code that meets our internal standards for style, maintainability, and best practices. You will maintain and advocate for these standards through code review
- You’ll help identify areas of improvements in the codebase and help contribute to making it better
- You’ll learn, collaborate with, and teach other Engineers. We believe everyone can contribute something new to the team regardless of how long they’ve been in the industry
Salary benchmarks
Our take
The NHS is facing huge financial pressures. An area that's been targeted in recent years is the billions the NHS spends on sourcing temporary doctors, known as locums, largely via agencies which take large fees.
Lantum's business model has changed since launch. It was originally a marketplace which helped healthcare providers connect with vetted temporary staff when they found gaps in their shifts. It has since become a wider platform for NHS workforce management.
Their software helps healthcare organisations fill the maximum number of shifts, by enabling them to manage their own network of clinicians and introducing them to new clinicians in the area. In 2021 they supported over 3,000 healthcare organisations, saving the NHS over £30 million.
Having already introduced the service for smaller clinics, they now aim to introduce it to hospitals as well as expanding the service to all healthcare professionals – including nurses and receptionists.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Lantum
Danielle Potton (Talent Partner)
- At Lantum we strive to establish and maintain a culture which champions diversity, equity and inclusion. Promoting a psychologically safe environment in which all employees can bring their whole, authentic selves to work.
- Our DE&I strategy first published in September 2020 stated our 3 key goals: 1. To champion diversity, equality & inclusion at Lantum 2. To provide accessible education on DE&I to our team 3. To decide who we are and how we want to be seen as a company
- To help facilitate this, our DE&I Taskforce hold monthly meetings in which we aim to: - Gain an understanding of the ‘as is’ picture in relation to DE&I. How are people feeling? - Design and drive initiatives to create a diverse and inclusive culture within Lantum - Provide a forum to discuss what we see happening both within and beyond Lantum and take action to influence whatever we can
- Danielle says.... “I firmly believe that cultivating an open environment, where people feel valued, seen and at all times able to be their authentic selves, is the driving force behind any meaningful change. Through joining the DE&I taskforce, I’m hoping to help nurture that environment in Lantum and support the team in driving this change.”
