Software Engineer Typescript & Node

Our Future Healthis an ambitious collaboration between the public, charity and private sectors, designed tohelp people live healthier lives for longer through better prevention, earlierdetectionand improved treatment of diseases. We will speed up the discovery of new methods of early disease detection, and the evaluation of new diagnostic tools, to helpidentifyand treat diseases early,when outcomes are usually better. With over 2.5M volunteers across the UK,we’renow the world’s biggest health researchprogrammeof its kind, and our volunteer group is also more diverse than other, similar health research programmes.

Technology and data are central to our mission.

Our systems power web sites, clinics across the UK,secureanalyticsand researchsystems,pipelines thatprocesshighly sensitivehealthand geneticdata, and we are continuing to grow our engineering capability to support this ambition.

We are hiring a full-stack focused mid-level Software Engineer to join our Research Enablement squad where you'd work alongside a Staff Software Engineer and a Security Engineer, as well as other cross functional colleagues.

This squad sits on the intersection of the Trusted Research Environment (TRE) and our bespoke security tooling and assets. Our squad vision is to create a secure, trusted and state of the art research environment to empower Researchers with their health research. We work closely with some of our internal operational teams as well as external partners, and are solving lots of rare but exciting problems.

Our engineers are full-stack, handling frontend, backend and infrastructure in a total ownership model - squads build and run it.

Our core tech-stack includes Typescript, Node.
