Role
Who you are
- Comfortable building production software across the stack - you might be strongest in backend or frontend, but you can follow a problem across both to own a feature end-to-end
- Proven ability to reason about systems - breaking ambiguous problems into tractable pieces, spotting trade-offs and second-order effects before they become incidents
- Comfortable with ambiguity and early-stage problem definition; you shape the work rather than wait for a finished spec
- You treat engineering quality as part of the job - managing technical debt pragmatically, reviewing AI-generated output critically, and pushing for the right architectural decisions under real constraints
- Curiosity about AI tools and how they change the way you work, with the judgment to know when to rely on them and when not to
- What we’re looking for to demonstrate as a Product Engineer at Accurx
- You start from the user problem, not the technology. You know what to build, what not to build, and why. In the AI era, that also means knowing what to delegate, what needs human judgment, and what shouldn't exist at all
- You can break ambiguous problems into tractable pieces and see how those pieces connect across boundaries. You spot seams, trade-offs, and second-order effects — thinking both from big to small and small to big
- You can pick up unfamiliar code, systems, and assess AI-generated output. You spot flaws before being told, and you understand why something is wrong
- You have strong expertise in at least one area and can use it to build, debug, and improve real systems effectively. You know what “great” looks like in your domain and can reliably get there
- You own outcomes, not just tasks. You influence across teams, navigate disagreement to reach the right answer, own your mistakes, and push hard for the wins that matter
- You actively experiment with AI tools to push the boundaries of what's possible today, with the scepticism to avoid overhyping what they can do
- You're actively learning and experimenting with AI tools, pushing the boundary of what's possible today, with the healthy scepticism that keeps you from overhyping what they can do
What the job involves
- Our engineers have sat in GP waiting rooms. They've watched practice managers juggle three systems at once to send a single message to a patient. They build for that person
- What sets our Product Engineers apart is that they own the problem, not just the code. They shape what gets built and how - working with Product, Design and Clinical from the earliest stages - and they stay with the systems they build as they evolve. They bring engineering judgment into product decisions, and product thinking into engineering ones
- Our stack is primarily C# on the backend, TypeScript and React on the frontend, running on Azure. ML/AI work uses Python. We don't expect you to know all of it - we expect you to follow a problem wherever it leads
- Owning features end-to-end: from refining the problem with clinicians and product managers through to architecture, implementation, rollout, and long-term evolution
- Engaging directly with NHS GPs, practice staff and patients to build a genuine understanding of the problems you're solving — research sessions, visiting practices
- Designing architecture and API boundaries with the broader system in mind, not just the immediate surface
- Holding the quality bar for what you ship: not just that the code works, but that the product is reliable, intuitive and safe in a clinical context
- Making the architectural calls that keep our codebase sustainable — improving system health alongside shipping features, not instead of it
- Pushing back constructively when something is wrong, and committing fully when a decision has been made

Our take
Communication between patients and nurses/doctors has typically happened via telephone call or post. This outdated technology is costly and doesn't exactly provide a great experience. Accurx has stepped in to solve this problem with its communication and collaboration platform.
Accurx allows 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, a huge 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. Alongside this, the platform recently partnered up with Tandem Health to launch an AI scribe tool for use across the NHS, so GP practices can save valuable time. Together, these developments put Accurx ins a strong position for even more growth and impact across the healthcare sector.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Accurx
- Each health system is made up of a diverse workforce, serving 100% of the population. We are building for them, not us. We can only transform health systems if we build a diverse team, rich with different backgrounds, opinions and personalities.
- We particularly welcome applications from those who are significantly underrepresented in the technology sector, such as women, trans people, non-binary people, people with disabilities and people from black and underrepresented ethnic communities.
