Senior full stack developer at Consultant Connect (Oxford, UK)

Consultant Connect makes the NHS work better by running a platform for clinician-to-clinician communication. We make it easy for doctors to talk to each other quickly, so they can treat patients faster and more effectively, while saving the NHS money.

In just a few years, we’ve grown to cover over 30% of the UK. We started off with just one product, which enables GPs to speak immediately to a specialist. It reduces avoidable hospital visits and speeds up patient care.

We then launched PhotoSAF and Messaging. Clinicians can now take photos with their phones, while respecting patient data privacy. The ability to get specialist advice with images has made a tremendous difference for cases in areas like dermatology and diabetic podiatry.

As product developers, our aspiration is to create clean, simple usable communication tools for NHS clinicians.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be a full stack developer, creating and improving products used by doctors. We use Python, Django, Postgres, Angular, and Ionic. As with any small ambitious team, the work varies and can change with each sprint. As examples, the work could include stuff like: 

• Designing and building new products to meet other unfulfilled needs within the NHS
• Designing and building new features that make our products easier to use
• Improving our automated testing, so that we’re more effective
• Improving our infrastructure
• Etc.

If you’re the sort of person who likes having a broad view of the product, rather than being highly specialised in one niche, then you’ll probably enjoy this role.

What we’re looking for

• You care a lot about whether customers love your product or not
• At least 5 years as a professional developer working full-time with at least a few different teams; minimum 2 years as a full-stack developer
• At some point in your career, you had a back-end focus and understand database design
• At some point in your career, you had a front-end focus and understand a thing or two about UI
• Portfolio of projects (either from day job or side projects) that you could talk through clearly 
• You’ve had to launch a product or feature before and you were part of the team that had to grow it; you’ve lived through the experience of trying to engineer something well while hustling to deliver an outcome
• You know what KISS means
• When it comes to difficult problems, you embrace them wholeheartedly and you learn fast. You have examples of where you had to rapidly step up your own skills and knowledge
• You’re a pro. People like working with you because you’re a clear communicator, your respectful of time, you’re respectful of people
• Ability to work in Oxford. The office is in the centre of Oxford within a 10 minute walk of the train station
