About The Role
Foundry is Simplyhealth’s venture incubator and strategic business development unit, investing millions into new healthcare businesses to accelerate the move towards predictive and preventative care. We operate where strategy meets execution—identifying opportunities, validating them quickly, and scaling what works.
We’re looking for a Full‑Stack Product Engineer to build products for new ventures from technical validation through to launch and beyond. This is not a traditional delivery role. You’ll work at the messy front end of new ventures, building MVPs, testing assumptions with real code, and learning fast whether an opportunity is viable.
Embedded within small product squads, you’ll often be the first and sometimes the only engineer on a venture during its early stages. You’ll take ownership of technical decisions, choosing architectures and technologies that balance speed of learning with long‑term sustainability. As ventures prove out, you’ll help scale solutions and shape how engineering capability grows.
You’ll work across the full stack, building features end‑to‑end from database to UI, collaborating closely with Product and Design to define the minimum technical work needed to validate critical hypotheses. Operating in regulated healthcare and financial services environments, you’ll deliver solutions that meet security and compliance requirements without sacrificing momentum.
This is a role for an engineer who enjoys autonomy, responsibility and rapid experimentation — and who wants to directly influence whether new healthcare businesses succeed or fail.
About You
- Proven track record of shipping full‑stack products to real users.
- Experience building 0‑1 products, MVPs or early‑stage platforms.
- Strong proficiency with React and TypeScript, alongside Node.js and/or Python.
- Comfort making pragmatic technical trade‑offs — knowing when to optimise for speed of learning versus scale.
- Experience working in product‑led teams rather than pure enterprise delivery models.
- Ability to work independently, particularly in early venture stages, while also supporting team growth as projects scale.
- Confidence communicating technical decisions and trade‑offs to non‑technical stakeholders.
- Experience in regulated environments (healthcare, fintech or similar) is helpful, though not essential.
- Curious, adaptable and motivated by building things that matter — even when that means throwing code away in pursuit of better answers.
Responsibilities
- Build MVPs and iterate on new product ideas to validate business hypotheses.
- Own technical decisions and choose architectures that balance speed of learning with long‑term sustainability.
- Design, develop and maintain end‑to‑end solutions, from database to UI.
- Collaborate with Product and Design to define minimum technical scope for hypotheses validation.
- Ensure solutions meet security and compliance requirements in regulated healthcare and financial services environments.
- Scale successful solutions and shape engineering capability as ventures grow.
Qualifications
- Strong full‑stack engineering experience with modern web technologies.
- Experience delivering products to real users and building early‑stage platforms.
- Proficiency in React, TypeScript and Node.js or Python.
- Ability to make pragmatic technical trade‑offs and communicate decisions to non‑technical stakeholders.
- Experience in regulated environments (healthcare, fintech or similar) is desirable.
