Our client is a UK-based organisation operating in the medtech industry, with a team of around 200 people. They design and manufacture bespoke solutions that improve patients’ quality of life.

They are investing significantly in technology and automation to support their next phase of growth. A key initiative is the development of a new digital platform that connects prescription workflows, manufacturing processes, and patient outcomes into a single integrated system.

The role

This is a hands-on lead role suited to someone who works agentically- using AI systems to plan, scaffold, and deliver complex development tasks, while applying strong engineering judgement to review and refine outputs.

As the first dedicated developer on this platform, you will work closely with senior leadership from initial concept through to production delivery, playing a central role in shaping both the system and the future team.

Our client is looking for someone entrepreneurial and highly proactive, who is comfortable engaging directly with clinicians and operational teams to understand real-world problems before building solutions.

Key responsibilities:

Direct AI coding agents across complex, multi-step development tasks, structuring context and taking full ownership of outputs
Translate requirements, user journeys, and wireframes into working software
Develop across the full stack: front-end interfaces, APIs, data models, and integrations
Contribute to architectural decisions (data models, authentication, hosting, security) using senior-level judgement
Maintain strong version control and deployment practices (Git, branching, code review, CI/CD)
Work closely with clinical, operational, and manufacturing teams to inform product development
Support the growth and shaping of the technical team over time

Planned technology stack:

Front-end: React + TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui
Mobile: Capacitor (shared codebase across web and mobile)
Offline capability: Progressive Web App (PWA)
Backend: Node.js with a single API and multiple front-end clients
Database: PostgreSQL
Hosting: AWS or Azure with infrastructure-as-code
CI/CD: GitHub Actions with per-PR environments
Deployment: Docker-based containerisation
Authentication: Auth0 or Clerk (TBC)

What our client is looking for:

Strong full-stack development experience (React, TypeScript, Node.js)
Experience designing REST APIs and working with relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL)
Practical cloud experience (AWS or Azure), including deployment and CI/CD pipelines
Proven ability to work in an agentic way with AI development tools — structuring problems and critically evaluating outputs
Strong understanding of authentication, authorisation, data modelling, security, and edge cases
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders
A self-driven, entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable working autonomously within a small, high-impact team
