Founding Product Engineer - Applied AI

Let's make the NHS the most advanced healthcare system in the world

The world’s best healthcare, for free. It’s not a new idea, it’s called the NHS. But the largest healthcare provider is fundamentally broken. So we’re on a mission to fix it with technology that actually works.

We love the NHS because it’s accessible to all, free at the point of delivery and employs millions across the UK. But we’ve all read the headlines. It’s under intense pressure with rising costs, GP strikes, budget uncertainty and an ageing population. Which means longer wait times, fewer appointments and lower quality care for the people who need it most. The NHS is beautiful, but broken.

The largest cost (£66bn+) is staff, who spend a ridiculous amount of time on mundane admin. 35% of NHS staff are employed to complete administrative work all day, every day. And that’s where we’re making a difference.

We’re focused on relentlessly automating repetitive processes within the NHS. And we’ve had great early success. Our first product, Automated Registrations, is already used by 24% of GP practices in England. With this wedge in the market, we’re now building more powerful tech that unlocks access to healthcare for the entire nation. Check out bookable.health for a sneak peek.

Exciting challenges lie ahead—guided by our principles, we’ll meet these challenges with a thoughtful and caring approach to support our community of NHS GP practices. These principles drive everything we do at Healthtech-1:

Why this role matters

35% of NHS staff time is spent on admin. That’s the opportunity. Our first product is already used by 26% of GP practices in England, and we’re now scaling a platform that transforms how patients and clinicians interact with healthcare.

As one of our Senior Product Engineers, you’ll own and shape the experiences used every day by patients and clinicians where performance, clarity, and reliability directly impact care.

We’re reimagining how technology, data, and AI can empower every team across the business.

You’ll help build the platforms, tooling, and guardrails that enable teams to move faster while maintaining the highest standards of quality, security, and reliability. Our goal is to make it possible for anyone in the company to safely bring ideas to life and see their impact in production.

Some of the challenges you’ll tackle include:

• Designing modern engineering workflows that accelerate delivery, increase autonomy, and improve developer experience across the organisation.
• Building shared tools and platforms that make information accessible, discoverable, and actionable for every team.
• Connecting knowledge across departments, enabling insights from customer conversations, support interactions, product discussions, and operational meetings to be surfaced whenever and wherever they’re needed.
• Creating a unified, queryable data ecosystem that breaks down silos and allows people to ask meaningful questions across the entire business.
• Leveraging AI and automation to uncover opportunities, identify trends, and surface insights before anyone even knows to ask the question.
• Developing systems that amplify the impact of individuals and teams by sharing best practices, highlighting successful approaches, and accelerating the adoption of new ideas across the company.

This is an opportunity to work on foundational technology that influences how the entire organisation collaborates, learns, and delivers value to customers.

Our Tech Stack:

• Fullstack (Backend leaning):
  React, Type Script (core focus)
• APIs:
  Designing and consuming scalable, well-structured services
• Data:
  Working with production systems and performance considerations
• AI:
  Integrating modern AI models into real-world healthcare workflows
• Experience in scaling product environments or high‑stakes domains (health, finance, infra) is a strong advantage.

We’re based inside a GP practice, so you can walk downstairs and see the real‑world impact of your work.
