Full Stack Engineer

Role Overview:

This is a step-up role for a Senior Engineer ready to move into Staff. You'll help shape the architectural direction of the platform, lead system design and drive the modernisation of our PHP/Laravel codebase and frontend. Hands-on across the stack: code, design docs and architecture reviews in roughly equal measure. We want a clean coder with strong system design skills, equally comfortable in backend and frontend code, and ready to take ownership when the path isn't obvious.

Duties & Responsibilities:

• Help plan the platform's architectural direction across billing, practice management and clinical workflows.
• Drive architecture and system design discussions. Write ADRs and run design reviews.
• Refactor legacy PHP/Laravel, MySQL and frontend code. Sequence the work so we keep shipping while we improve.
• Define service boundaries, data ownership, API contracts and frontend architecture.
• Build features end to end, from database schema to UI, including UX, accessibility and performance.
• Partner with DevOps on CI/CD pipelines. Set up and improve build, test and deploy flows.
• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers through pairing, code review and design feedback.
• Build AI features and LLM-assisted workflows into the product where they add value.
• Lead during incidents and write the postmortems. Turn lessons into systemic fixes.

Skills & Experience:

• Strong production experience with PHP, Laravel and MySQL.
• Frontend experience with React or Vue in production. TypeScript and modern JavaScript.
• Solid CSS and SCSS, HTML5, accessibility, and modern build tooling (Vite, Webpack or similar).
• REST API design experience. Comfortable with contracts, versioning and error handling.
• Strong system design skills. You can break a problem down and design a working solution end to end.
• You write clean, readable, testable code as standard.
• Comfortable refactoring legacy code without stalling delivery.
• Production experience with AWS or Azure.
• Experience setting up CI/CD flows (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps or similar).
• Comfortable with ambiguity. Happy to scope, prioritise and drive work.
• Experience mentoring engineers, formally or informally.
• Working knowledge of GDPR and UK GDPR around data handling and access.
• Effective use of AI developer tools (Claude, Codex, Cursor or similar). Knows what they're good for and what they aren't.
• Familiar with common OWASP threats and writes code that defends against them.

Desirable, but not essential:

• Interest in AI engineering: RAG, embeddings, vector search.
• Healthcare, RCM or regulated industry background.
• Tailwind, component libraries or design systems.
• Inertia.js, Livewire or other Laravel-friendly frontend patterns.
• Frontend testing (Vitest, Jest, Playwright, Cypress).
• Observability tooling (Sentry, Datadog, Grafana).
