Company mission
To provide convenient and effective health care that gives patients the best health outcomes.
Role
Who you are
- Minimum 3 years of developer experience in a startup environment
- Minimum 3 years experience with Typescript + React
What the job involves
- Medicspot software is built with developer friendliness and productivity in mind. We like products to be beautiful inside and out. We create clean, consistent react and node architectures for web apps and API services
- You should be experienced and flexible when designing and creating backend services, single page apps, and databases
- We're a Typescript house front and back. Good experience with SOA, JS, testing, docker, HTML5, accessible UX are all highly desirable
- The Medicspot system is made up of many individual products that work together to power the service our patients love. We're looking for a full stack developer who can gel as part of the wider team and offer support in a variety of capacities
- You'll be a key person in helping make the development team the very best they can be, and join as our 2nd full time developer
- Hopefully you like:
- Chipping in with different disciplines and helping the wider team
- Well defined and simple module/app concerns and interfaces
- TS (nextjs, node)
- React (or at least the declarative pattern it embodies)
- Flat service oriented architectures (REST, JWT)
- PostgresSQL
- Sensible testing
- VCS, CI, CD
- We're learning all the time so hope you will share tools and practices to make this even better!
- This role might not be for you if…
- Medicspot isn’t the place for everyone, and that’s okay. We’re a fast-moving startup with big ambitions and a clear focus on solving the global obesity crisis. If any of the following apply to you, this probably won’t be the right fit:
- You need a clear 5-year career plan. If uncertainty and ambiguity make you uncomfortable, this role isn’t for you. Our path forward isn’t always straight, and opportunities arise in unexpected ways. We need someone who can adapt, pivot, and thrive in the unknown
- You shy away from tough problems. If you prefer to stay in your comfort zone, or are looking for an easy role where you can coast, this isn't the right place. We’re tackling some of the biggest health challenges out there, and we need people who are excited by hard problems and keen to learn new skills to solve them
- You don’t like wearing multiple hats. If you want a narrow role with fixed responsibilities, Medicspot isn’t the right opportunity for you. In our team, everyone contributes in various ways beyond their core responsibilities. Flexibility is key, and you’ll be expected to jump in wherever help is needed
- You’re uncomfortable with failing. If you can’t embrace failure as a stepping stone to success, you will struggle here. In a startup, trying new things comes with the risk of failure, and we see that as part of the journey. If you’re afraid of making mistakes, you’ll miss out on key learning experiences
- If this sounds like the kind of environment where you’ll thrive, we’d love to hear from you. If not, no hard feelings - we want to ensure Medicspot is the right fit for you and us
