QA is breaking under the weight of modern software. Releases are faster, systems are more complex, and test suites are brittle, slow, and increasingly ignored. Duku AI is building autonomous testing agents that run real user journeys, adapt as code changes, and surface risk before customers do. This role sits at the centre of that mission. We're venture-backed and led by operators who've scaled Meta's testing infrastructure, launched Uber's global playbooks, and grew Deliveroo from zero to hypergrowth. We know what elite execution looks like and we're hunting for one more builder to help us rewrite the rules of software quality. This is not a support role. It is not a solutions engineer. It is not a ticket factory. This is a builder role for someone who wants to shape product by deploying it into the real world. What You'll Do Deploy Duku AI into live customer environments and make it work under real constraints Take ownership of complex product features end-to-end - from architecture and data modelling to beautiful and performant user interfaces Translate messy, real-world product and infrastructure problems into durable platform capabilities Push the boundaries of what's possible across the stack - improving developer experience, introducing new capabilities, and driving innovation Own systems end to end: from code and models to infra, observability, and production reliability Ship fast, measure impact, and iterate relentlessly Feed sharp, first-principles insight back into the core roadmap and product direction What We're Looking For Strong engineering judgement and an instinct for shipping Comfort operating without a playbook, process, or safety net Ability to move from prototype to production without hand-holding Fluency across backend systems, modern frontend, and cloud infrastructure Practical experience working with LLMs, agentic systems, or AI-driven workflows High ownership mentality: you see problems, you fix them Clear communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders Ideal Background There's no perfect pedigree. We hire for mindset, not credentials. That said, you might have: Built and shipped complex systems in early-stage startups Deployed AI or data-driven features into production environments Worked close to customers solving high-stakes technical problems Taken products from rough prototype to something people rely on daily Why This Matters Software velocity is accelerating. QA has not kept up. Autonomous testing is inevitable. Forward Deployed Engineers at Duku sit at the edge of that shift. You are where product, customer reality, and AI systems collide. What you learn and build directly shapes the platform and the category we are creating. Join now, and you help define how software gets tested for the next decade.

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 up and down 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 of 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. ️ Our Principles 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: Care deeply Work hard Be your word Trust in radical truth and transparency Do your life's best work Find the fun Read more about our principles in the Healthtech-1 Handbook. The mission We have an ambitious mission: to unlock access to healthcare by getting patients to the right appointment the first time. We are hiring a senior backend engineer to help us build secure, reliable systems for patients and clinicians and help us integrate the latest AI models into the patient care navigation experience. Check out bookable.health to see what we're building. This is a place to do your life's best work. You'll report to Laurence (Engineering Lead) and work cross-functionally with our product teams. The right person will have the potential to grow into a Staff Backend Engineer. Hear Laurence talk about the role, p.s. he does smile! Goal expectations The North Star the entire company is shooting for is 50,000 Weekly Appointments Booked (WAB) by September 2026. Whilst the product team that you're in might change during your time here, your goals at a high level will remain the same. These will look like: Build something great, that patients and practices want. This means being a product engineer and seeking to understand the problem you're solving by working closely with product (designer/PM) and talking to users to deliver the right solution. When incidents occur, you seek to ensure they don't happen again. Oil the technical engine. Technical debt is easy to build at a startup and scaling problems are easy to hit. You'll help us pay down existing debt, identify scaling problems ahead of time and propose new areas in the tech strategy. Ship at pace. Your code should be high quality and delivered quickly. You should use AI and other tools to make the whole company faster. Your code reviews should keep our collective bar high. Scope of the role You fully own: The quality and speed with which you deliver tickets The quality of your code reviews You co-own (with product and engineering): Technical roadmap/technical investment items Reliability of the system The design of the solution You influence (but do not own): The product roadmap Tooling and software that the company pays for to improve developer productivity ️ This role is not for everyone This is a high-ownership, high-expectation role. You'll be working in a fast-moving healthtech environment where correctness, reliability, and speed all matter at the same time. You probably won't enjoy this role if you: Prefer highly specified tickets over ambiguous problem spaces Need significant direction to make technical decisions Optimise for elegant abstractions over simple, robust solutions Are uncomfortable being on-call for the systems you build You will enjoy this role if you like owning problems end-to-end and raising the technical bar around you. 30/60/90 day plan By day 30: Understand our team and stack, and deliver early impact Spend your first week inside a GP practice to understand our users' world Understand your product team's goals and ways of working Understand our tech stack and the backend architecture behind it Deliver small and medium sized tickets, with some help/pairing Give code reviews in areas of code you become familiar with Outcome: You've understood our context and shown ability to contribute to the team By day 60: Building a reputation for reliability in the team Regularly shipping larger items with no significant issues or changes needed in pull requests Identified a meaningful area of technical debt or scaling risk, written a short proposal, and started delivering on it Able to understand warnings and errors and monitor the system for bugs Outcome: You've proven your technical ability 90 days: Become a trusted voice and executor Delivered one larger user facing item which improves the product experience for patients or clinicians You've materially reduced risk or complexity in a core part of the system You are a trusted technical voice in product discussions Other engineers seek out your reviews and input The team ships faster and with more confidence because of your influence Outcome: The team is moving faster and better because of you. You've shown ability to take a vaguely defined problem and turn it into a shipped, reliable solution Must-have traits High ownership: You feel personally responsible for the systems you build in production, including incidents and long-term maintainability. Strong engineering fundamentals: You have deep understanding of data modeling, API design, concurrency, and failure modes-not just frameworks. Product judgment: You can balance speed vs. quality and make sensible tradeoffs without waiting for permission. Strive for simplicity: You consistently choose boring, well-understood solutions over clever ones unless there is a clear reason not to. Comfort with ambiguity: You can take a vaguely defined problem and turn it into a shipped, reliable solution. Product care: You care deeply about building delightful and thoughtful product experiences, and are excited by the idea of speaking to practice staff. Desired traits Strong TypeScript proficiency in large, long-lived codebases Designing and maintaining APIs used by multiple internal or external consumers Production experience with relational databases (Postgres preferred), including: schema design migrations performance tradeoffs Experience operating backend systems in production (monitoring, alerting, incident response) Familiarity with NestJS or similar backend frameworks (e.g. Express, Fastify) Experience with data pipelines, analytics, or ML/AI system integration Experience working in regulated or high-stakes domains (health, finance, infra) Required experience 3+ years as a software engineer At least 1 year at a startup/scaleup A bit about us We're all NHS staff. We're inside outsiders. Trusted with one of the biggest datasets in the world. Our office is within a GP practice. This is our unfair advantage. Got a question? Pop down the corridor. Want to learn how your work affects real patients? Pop downstairs to reception. 3-4 days in the office depending on your team. We highly prioritise in person communication. Our anchor days are Mon, Tues and Fri; and our flex days are Wed or Thurs. Homemade breakfast and lunch are on the house every day when you're in the office, ensuring you're fuelled for success! We work in growth cycles. Every 8 weeks we do the same set of activities. 1 week outside of Business as Usual to research, strategise, plan our work. 7 weeks to knuckle down and deliver it. We're highly collaborative. One of the benefits of a high trust team is we often work autonomously, but as a team we're very collaborative by nature. Two heads are often better than one, and we frequently lean on each other to solve problems together. We're backed by industry leaders. We're on the DigitalHealth.London Accelerator, backed by the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Program, winners of the London Business School Healthtech Challenge, Innovate UK, and Y Combinator (S23). An opportunity for real upside Paid volunteer days. We offer an additional 2 paid days off per year where you can give back to your mission of choice. Every 8 weeks we take a day off to socialise as a team. In the past we've hiked box hill, raved at All Points East and spent one rainy day at Thorpe park. This works out as 6 working days a year. . click apply for full job details

Check out bookable.health to see what we're building. This is a place to do your life's best work. You'll report to Laurence (Engineering Lead) and work cross-functionally with our product teams. The right person will have the potential to grow into a Staff Backend Engineer. Hear Laurence talk about the role, p.s. he does smile! Goal expectations The North Star the entire company is shooting for is 50,000 Weekly Appointments Booked (WAB) by September 2026. Whilst the product team that you're in might change during your time here, your goals at a high level will remain the same. These will look like: Build something great, that patients and practices want. This means being a product engineer and seeking to understand the problem you're solving by working closely with product (designer/PM) and talking to users to deliver the right solution. When incidents occur, you seek to ensure they don't happen again. Oil the technical engine. Technical debt is easy to build at a startup and scaling problems are easy to hit. You'll help us pay down existing debt, identify scaling problems ahead of time and propose new areas in the tech strategy. Ship at pace. Your code should be high quality and delivered quickly. You should use AI and other tools to make the whole company faster. Your code reviews should keep our collective bar high. Scope of the role You fully own: The quality and speed with which you deliver tickets The quality of your code reviews You co-own (with product and engineering): Technical roadmap/technical investment items Reliability of the system The design of the solution You influence (but do not own): The product roadmap Tooling and software that the company pays for to improve developer productivity ️ This role is not for everyone This is a high-ownership, high-expectation role. You'll be working in a fast-moving healthtech environment where correctness, reliability, and speed all matter at the same time. You probably won't enjoy this role if you: Prefer highly specified tickets over ambiguous problem spaces Need significant direction to make technical decisions Optimise for elegant abstractions over simple, robust solutions Are uncomfortable being on-call for the systems you build You will enjoy this role if you like owning problems end-to-end and raising the technical bar around you. 30/60/90 day plan By day 30: Understand our team and stack, and deliver early impact Spend your first week inside a GP practice to understand our users' world Understand your product team's goals and ways of working Understand our tech stack and the backend architecture behind it Deliver small and medium sized tickets, with some help/pairing Give code reviews in areas of code you become familiar with Outcome: You've understood our context and shown ability to contribute to the team By day 60: Building a reputation for reliability in the team Regularly shipping larger items with no significant issues or changes needed in pull requests Identified a meaningful area of technical debt or scaling risk, written a short proposal, and started delivering on it Able to understand warnings and errors and monitor the system for bugs Outcome: You've proven your technical ability 90 days: Become a trusted voice and executor Delivered one larger user facing item which improves the product experience for patients or clinicians You've materially reduced risk or complexity in a core part of the system You are a trusted technical voice in product discussions Other engineers seek out your reviews and input The team ships faster and with more confidence because of your influence Outcome: The team is moving faster and better because of you. You've shown ability to take a vaguely defined problem and turn it into a shipped, reliable solution Must-have traits High ownership: You feel personally responsible for the systems you build in production, including incidents and long-term maintainability. Strong engineering fundamentals: You have deep understanding of data modeling, API design, concurrency, and failure modes-not just frameworks. Product judgment: You can balance speed vs. quality and make sensible tradeoffs without waiting for permission. Strive for simplicity: You consistently choose boring, well-understood solutions over clever ones unless there is a clear reason not to. Comfort with ambiguity: You can take a vaguely defined problem and turn it into a shipped, reliable solution. Product care: You care deeply about building delightful and thoughtful product experiences, and are excited by the idea of speaking to practice staff. Desired traits Strong TypeScript proficiency in large, long-lived codebases Designing and maintaining APIs used by multiple internal or external consumers Production experience with relational databases (Postgres preferred), including: schema design migrations performance tradeoffs Experience operating backend systems in production (monitoring, alerting, incident response) Familiarity with NestJS or similar backend frameworks (e.g. Express, Fastify) Experience with data pipelines, analytics, or ML/AI system integration Experience working in regulated or high-stakes domains (health, finance, infra) Required experience 3+ years as a software engineer At least 1 year at a startup/scaleup A bit about us We're all NHS staff. We're inside outsiders. Trusted with one of the biggest datasets in the world. Our office is within a GP practice. This is our unfair advantage. Got a question? Pop down the corridor. Want to learn how your work affects real patients? Pop downstairs to reception. 3-4 days in the office depending on your team. We highly prioritise in person communication. Our anchor days are Mon, Tues and Fri; and our flex days are Wed or Thurs. Homemade breakfast and lunch are on the house every day when you're in the office, ensuring you're fuelled for success! We work in growth cycles. Every 8 weeks we do the same set of activities. 1 week outside of Business as Usual to research, strategise, plan our work. 7 weeks to knuckle down and deliver it. We're highly collaborative. One of the benefits of a high trust team is we often work autonomously, but as a team we're very collaborative by nature. Two heads are often better than one, and we frequently lean on each other to solve problems together. We're backed by industry leaders. We're on the DigitalHealth.London Accelerator, backed by the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Program, winners of the London Business School Healthtech Challenge, Innovate UK, and Y Combinator (S23). An opportunity for real upside Paid volunteer days. We offer an additional 2 paid days off per year where you can give back to your mission of choice. Every 8 weeks we take a day off to socialise as a team. In the past we've hiked box hill, raved at All Points East and spent one rainy day at Thorpe park. This works out as 6 working days a year. . click apply for full job details

About The Applicant Early in their career but already able to contribute meaningfully to a production codebase. Cares about how things look and feel as much as how they work, and keen to learn more about cybersecurity, secure development, and building software for a hardware product. They should be comfortable asking questions, but also able to take ownership of their work, break down problems, and move tasks forward without needing constant direction. About Goldilock Join us in our mission at Goldilock, where we're trailblazing the future of network security. Our commitment is unwavering: to revolutionize the OT networks across multiple industries. Every product in our range is crafted with precision, addressing both the technical and cybersecurity challenges inherent to operational technology networks. We pride ourselves on creating networking solutions that are not only robust and reliable but also secure enough to withstand the tests of time.
