Job Summary

Clinicians, laboratory staff, pathologists, and most of all, patients are at the heart of what you will do. Making sure they deliver and receive critical healthcare information is  central to your role. You will translate complex clinical workflows into clear, accessible and scalable front-end solutions. Not just so healthcare professionals can retrieve the information they need, but can do so using a platform and interface that is seamless, effortless and intuitive.

With curiosity and passion, you will own and elevate discovery through to delivery whilst engaging directly with users to ground solutions in real word challenges. 

We love inventive and innovative perspectives to bring fresh approaches that lead the way we build robust and reusable components to strengthen the front-end architecture. Boldly raising our engineering standards across the team and internationally into the US is exactly what we want. You will immerse yourself in challenging assumptions, driving practical solutions and reliably step up to shape how our team delivers high quality to clinicians, laboratory staff, pathologists and patients.
