Job description

We're looking for a Backend Software Developer who enjoys solving complex technical problems and wants to see their work make a genuine difference in the real world. You'll join a small, highly skilled engineering team responsible for developing and evolving a platform used within medical imaging and pathology environments.

This is an opportunity to work on meaningful technology, influence architectural decisions, and take ownership of systems that are actively used by healthcare professionals and researchers.

You'll be joining a team where engineers are trusted to make decisions, contribute ideas, and shape the future direction of the platform.

The work is primarily backend-focused, centred around Golang and modern cloud-based services. You'll help evolve a platform that continues to expand into new clinical areas, supporting additional imaging modalities, workflows, and research initiatives.

Rather than working on short-lived projects, you'll be solving long-term technical challenges that directly impact how healthcare professionals interact with complex data and medical images.

You'll have the freedom to take ownership of features, contribute to architectural design, and work closely with experienced engineers who value collaboration and knowledge sharing.

You'll be involved in:

  • Designing and developing scalable backend services using Golang.
  • Enhancing a platform used within medical imaging and healthcare environments.
  • Contributing to architecture, technical design, and platform evolution.
  • Building services that process and manage large volumes of clinical and research data.
  • Supporting cloud-based deployments and modern engineering practices.
  • Working closely with engineers, domain experts, and healthcare specialists to solve real-world problems.

We're interested in strong backend engineers who enjoy learning and tackling challenging technical problems.

You may come from a background in Golang, C#, C++, Java, or another backend-focused language and be keen to develop further in modern distributed systems., This is a chance to work in a specialist field where technology, research, and healthcare intersect.

You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Work with modern backend technologies, including Golang.
  • Influence architecture and technical direction.
  • Solve complex and intellectually rewarding problems.
  • Collaborate with experienced engineers and domain experts.
  • Build software that is actively used in healthcare and research environments.
  • Enjoy a high degree of autonomy and ownership.
  • See the direct impact your work has on users and the wider healthcare community.

If you're motivated by meaningful engineering challenges and want your work to contribute to something bigger than software alone, we'd love to hear from you.

Requirements

  • Enjoy designing clean, maintainable software.
  • Can work independently and take ownership of their work.
  • Have experience building backend applications and services.
  • Are comfortable contributing to technical and architectural discussions.
  • Enjoy learning new technologies and domains.
  • Want to work on products with tangible real-world impact.

Previous healthcare or medical imaging experience isn't essential. Curiosity, strong engineering fundamentals, and a willingness to learn are far more important.
