Your new role: As a Full Stack Engineer at Doctor Care Anywhere, you will design, build, and run features across the whole stack, from data model and API through to the user interface. With 5 to 6 years of hands-on experience, you will own your work end to end and bring a track record of using AI across the software development lifecycle to make delivery faster, safer, and higher quality. You will help shape how the wider engineering team adopts AI-assisted development in a responsible, measurable way, while holding a high bar for security, performance, and maintainability in a regulated healthcare environment.
- Remuneration: £75,000 Per anum DOE
- Work location: London office based (up to 2 days WFH)
- Application Deadline: 9am Friday 17th July 2026
Requirements
Software Design & Delivery
- Design, build, and maintain features across the full stack, owning them from concept through to production and support.
- Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code across backend and frontend, and hold a high bar in code review.
- Contribute to architecture and technical design decisions, weighing trade-offs across performance, security, cost, and maintainability.
- Break down complex requirements into well-scoped, deliverable pieces of work.
AI in the Software Development Lifecycle
- Embed AI into everyday engineering practice across coding, code review, test generation, and documentation, wherever it delivers real leverage.
- Help define good practice for AI-assisted development, including where it adds value and where human judgement stays in control.
- Ensure AI-assisted output is reviewed, secure, and fit for a production healthcare environment.
- Measure and share the impact of AI adoption, such as improvements in cycle time, test coverage, or review effort.
Quality, Testing & Reliability
- Build automated tests at unit, integration, and end-to-end levels as a routine part of delivery.
- Diagnose and resolve production issues, using observability and telemetry to reach root cause rather than symptoms.
Collaboration & Cross-Functional Working
- Partner with product, design, and other engineers to turn requirements into working software.
- Communicate technical decisions and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Mentor other engineers and raise the overall capability of the team.
Continuous Improvement
- Support Agile ways of working and contribute to improving team processes.
- Keep current with modern engineering practice, tooling, and AI developments, and bring ideas back to the team.
- Champion secure, maintainable, and pragmatic engineering across the platform.
What Success Looks Like :
- Features are delivered end to end, well tested, and running reliably in production.
- AI is used across the SDLC in a way that measurably improves quality and delivery speed.
- AI-assisted output is consistently secure, reviewed, and fit for a regulated environment.
- Engineering standards and team capability improve through your contribution.
Experience & Attributes
Essential
- 5 to 6 years of professional software engineering experience building and running production systems.
- Demonstrable full stack delivery, comfortable owning a feature across backend, frontend, data, and deployment.
- Practical experience introducing or scaling AI tooling within an engineering workflow, not just personal use.
- Familiarity with AI coding assistants and agentic tooling (for example GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) and a considered view on where they help and where they do not.
- Strong experience in a modern backend language and framework (for example C# / .NET, Node.js, Python, or Go).
- Sound API design (REST or GraphQL) and experience with relational and, ideally, caching or NoSQL data stores.
- Solid experience with a modern JavaScript framework (React and TypeScript preferred) and an eye for usable, accessible interfaces.
- Comfortable with cloud platforms (Azure preferred), CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code.
- A pragmatic approach to security, performance, and technical debt.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across a wider team.
Nice to have
- Experience in healthcare or another regulated industry where data protection and compliance matter.
- Exposure to identity and access standards (OAuth2, OIDC, SAML).
- Experience with event-driven or real-time systems (for example messaging, WebSockets, or streaming).
- Familiarity with observability tooling such as Application Insights or OpenTelemetry.
- Contributions to setting AI governance or engineering standards at a team or organisation level.
