In this role, you’ll play a key part in deploying PrecisionLife’s portfolio of products through a diverse network of channel partners. Working as part of our product delivery team, you’ll combine hands-on software engineering with integration and deployment activities, ensuring our products are successfully implemented across new and existing platforms.

You’ll split your time between:

• Integrating products, data flows, and business processes into partner and client environments.
• Designing and maintaining deployment pipelines and DevOps processes to enable reliable and efficient delivery.
• Building high-quality, scalable software that supports product delivery and customer success.
• Helping solve complex technical challenges across cloud infrastructure, integrations, automation, and application delivery.
• Collaborating closely with product, design, operations, and engineering colleagues to deliver seamless customer experiences.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working across the software development lifecycle, combining engineering excellence with practical implementation and deployment expertise in a fast-growing, product-driven organisation.

Responsibilities

• Work with pipeline frameworks: work to integrate software products and systems within new (e.g. snake make) or existing analytical frames (API integration).
• Integration: work with existing third-party systems or with novel systems to deploy products of various types in the context of analytical or e-commerce pipelines.
• Develop: Design, build, and review product applications (working across backend, cross-system integration and/or full-stack).
• Write clean, testable code: contribute to code reviews, technical design docs, and architecture decisions.
• Collaborate: with product and design teams to clarify requirements and deliver increments iteratively.

We’re looking for someone who is proactive and pragmatic-someone who spots potential issues early, digs into root causes, and drives meaningful improvements without needing detailed direction. You’ll be comfortable adapting to change, picking up new tools and approaches quickly, and continuously developing your skills as DevOps practices evolve.
