Role
Who you are
- We're looking for someone who brings deep engineering skills and a strong sense of product ownership
- Empathy for the user – You care about patients having an exceptional experience. You spot clunky workflows and are motivated to fix them
- Data-driven – You’ve are familiar with user analytics, feature flagging and observability tools. You default to data to guide your decision making
- Cross-functional partner – You work closely with PMs, designers, and analysts to make decisions and shape the product together
- Team contributor – You care about clean code, good reviews, and helping others grow. You lead by example, not just title
- End-to-end ownership — You don’t just ship code; you take full responsibility for what you build. You care about the why, not just the what, and you're just as comfortable in technical discussions as you are exploring user needs, product trade-offs, and impact
- Bias for action - You agitate for change, to try new approaches and are an ambassador for innovation. You are willing to go outside your comfort zone to solve a problem quickly
- First principle thinker - You can take a step back and thing about problems holistically. You challenge assumptions and know when its safe to take shortcuts
- At least 5 years of commercial experience as a software engineer or equivalent
- Backend craft – Strong experience with a backend language, for example PHP, Python, Ruby or C#. Have worked with a range of database technologies and web frameworks etc
- Comfortable across the stack – You’re not afraid of Javascript or to dive into cloud infra when needed
- Great verbal and written communication skills and the ability to explain complex ideas in a simple way to non-engineering teammates
- This is a hybrid role and you need to be based in London (UK) or Sofia (BG) so you can be in the office 3 days per week
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Product Engineer to contribute to our mission of improving patients' health and their lives
- Extreme Ownership – You’ll lead the full lifecycle of features: from understanding the problem and sketching out rough ideas, to building it, shipping it, and measuring how it’s performing
- Drive & shape the future of our architectural vision. Helping us scale, move fast and onboard quickly
- Craft clean, efficient code that’s built to last. Holding high standards for yourself and your peers
- Create beautiful experiences that users can rely on. Utilising your eye for detail and the latest design ethoses

Our take
MANUAL is a digital healthcare clinic supporting patients with life-changing conditions such as hormonal imbalance, obesity, menopause and hair loss across the UK and Brazil. It does this with a blend of doctor-specialist services, prescription medication backed by science, and digital products informed by behavioural change.
Manual works to remove the stigma around health problems such as obesity, hormone imbalances and menopause through teleconsultations, testing, regular check-ins and a range of tools, supplements and medications to treat common issues like poor sleep, hair loss, erectile dysfunction and skin conditions. Originally focused solely on men's health, the service led a shift in attitudes among its customers, with about half the men using the service to treat more than one condition, indicating that they're not just seeking help for the worst health issue that they're experiencing. Since, then it has opened its services to all genders with a hope to sift attitudes on a wider variety of health issues.
Manual has raised an impressive amount of capital, most recently in 2024. This funding is being used to expand its reach and enhance its services, particularly focussing on treatments for hormonal imbalance, obesity, and hair loss.
