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. Instead, 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

This role will suit an experienced full‑stack engineer with a strong product mindset. You’ll likely bring:

  • A 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
  • The 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
  • Above all, you’ll be curious, adaptable and motivated by building things that matter - even when that means throwing code away in pursuit of better answers.

Your Recruitment Journey

We’re committed to a fair, inclusive and transparent recruitment process. The journey will include:

  • A first‑stage interview with the Head of Foundry
  • A technical and problem‑solving interview focused on product engineering and decision‑making
  • A final interview with senior Foundry and Simplyhealth stakeholders

All offers are subject to standard pre‑employment checks. If you enjoy building fast, learning quickly and shaping new ventures from the ground up - we’d love to hear from you.
