Role
Who you are
- We work with C# (.Net core), so you will have experience in C#, C++ or Java
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, API design, and cloud services
- Familiarity with modern frontend tools like React and TypeScript (collaborative focus)
- Experience designing scalable, reliable architectures and defining long-term technical strategies
- Ability to align multiple teams toward cohesive solutions
- User-focused approach to building maintainable, value-driven features
- Strong collaboration with product managers and designers to prioritise user needs
- Proven ability to mentor engineers and foster a high-performing, inclusive culture as well as promoting continuous learning and iterative improvement
- Expertise in raising engineering standards via code reviews and best practices
- Skilled in debugging, optimising CI/CD pipelines, and driving systemic enhancements
- Clear communicator, able to influence across teams and articulate complex concepts to diverse stakeholders
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Staff Product Engineer (Backend) to help shape the future of our product and platform across a broader scope than ever before
- At the Staff level, you’ll operate across an entire product group of 15-20 engineers, defining and driving architectural vision, technical strategy, and engineering standards
- You’ll be trusted to influence and align multiple teams, ensuring our platform remains scalable, reliable, and innovative as we continue to grow
- Today, we primarily work with C# (.NET Core), Kubernetes, SQL, React, ES6, TypeScript, and Redux, but we’re always evolving
- You’ll bring the expertise to help us navigate the next generation of tools, frameworks, and architectures that keep us at the forefront of healthcare tech
- As we scale, you’ll be a key engineering leader, guiding our product group toward the best solutions—both today and for the future
- Drive Architectural Excellence: You’ll set the technical direction for an entire product group, collaborating with engineers, product managers, and designers to define our long-term architectural vision. Your deep understanding of distributed systems, APIs, data modelling, and cloud services will shape how we build, integrate, and evolve our platform
- Champion the “Product Engineer” Mindset at Scale: You’ll ensure that product thinking is embedded throughout the engineering process—making sure we build the right features for our users, and that we build them in a way that’s maintainable, robust, and aligned with our strategic objectives. You’ll inspire teams to stay close to our users, whether that’s joining user research sessions or partnering with clinicians and patients to understand their needs
- Influence Multiple Teams: Operating at a group level means you’ll work across numerous squads, identifying systemic technical challenges and opportunities. You’ll design initiatives that improve engineering practices, reduce friction, and accelerate our delivery of value. By seeing the bigger picture, you’ll ensure that investments in tooling, infrastructure, and architecture pay dividends across the entire product area
- Be a Force Multiplier for Engineering Quality: You’ll raise the bar for engineering excellence. Through code reviews, architecture discussions, and the introduction of best practices, you’ll help teams ship high-quality code at pace. You’ll identify gaps in our engineering capabilities—whether that’s performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, or testing strategies—and work with stakeholders to address them systematically
- Mentor and Grow Our Talent: You’ll model exceptional technical leadership and mentor senior and junior engineers alike. By coaching others on system design, debugging complex issues, and navigating trade-offs, you’ll elevate the skill and confidence of those around you. You’ll also partner with engineering managers and product leaders to cultivate a healthy, high-performing engineering culture within the group
- Build for Continuous Improvement: You’ll encourage teams to stay curious, experiment, and iterate. Whether it’s introducing new tooling to boost productivity, refining our CI/CD pipelines, or guiding a team through a tricky production incident, you’ll help shape a culture where learning and improvement never stop
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Communication between patients and nurses/doctors has typically happened via telephone call or post. This outdated technology is costly and doesn't provide a great experience. Accurx solves this problem with its communication and collaboration platform.
Accurx is building tools that allow GPs and other healthcare providers to communicate more efficiently with their patients and with each other in order to deliver top-quality care. Its products are now used in over 95% of GP practices. This is testament to the value of Accurx's platform.
Since raising considerable funding, Accurx has been focused on growing its team and developing its products, including batch messaging between clinics and patients, to help care sites ease the burden of long wait lists and understaffing. With these challenges continuing to mount for the health system, Accurx is likely to remain in high demand for the foreseeable future.
