Senior Full Stack Engineer

Job Description

This is your opportunity to join our team of forward-thinking, change-making individuals. Operating at the intersection of health and tech, you'll help us shape the future of healthcare.

Our Mission

Healthengine’s mission is to improve access to healthcare by helping Australians find and connect with all primary care providers. We strive to achieve this through Australia’s leading healthcare marketplace, bringing together over 4 million active Australians, and more than 10 thousand practitioners that are powered by our technology - and growing.

We’re all patients, right? So, it’s easy to get behind a mission that seeks to improve the healthcare experience for all Australians.

The Gig

As our newest Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will help to build, maintain \& support the Healthengine website \& microservices as part of the larger development team. You’ll have a well rounded team backing you, including product manager, designer and engineering manager, while a high level of autonomy will provide plenty of opportunity to expand your own skillset.

Responsibilities:

Work as part of a product team to deliver high-quality and high-performing experiences to hundreds of thousands of users

Collaborate with other developers and designers to come up with innovative and delight-filled solutions

Implement ideas to help increase developer velocity and better user experiences

Implements functionality across the entire technical stack adhering to standards established and agreed to by the front and back-end guilds

Break down user stories into technical tasks, and plan areas of future technical work for the team

Contribute to common code bases and standards for the team

Play a valued role in the hiring process and mentor junior/mid-level engineers

About You:

You're the kind of person who takes accountability in a fast-paced, autonomous and flexible environment. Fast may be your default (like us!) but you never, ever compromise on what’s important, willing to take a steady, more informed approach when it comes to maintaining the trust of our team and customers. You handle change like a pro, and continuous improvement is a way of life. You are not afraid to speak up and share your thoughts respectfully, with the intention of making positive change. You take initiative and drive your own learning journey without waiting for someone to point you in the right direction. And ultimately, you care: about people, health and innovation.

For this role, you’re someone who’s dabbled in AI and has probably even tried to implement something with it to see what all the fuss is about—bringing that curiosity and forward-thinking edge into your work.

Experience you’ll bring:

Strong understanding of at least one JavaScript framework (React preferred)

Strong understanding of PHP (or strong experience in a similar language)

Strong understanding of Postgres (or other relational databases)

Ideally experienced in AWS infrastructure

Ideally experienced in Agile development methodologies (Kanban/Scrum)
