We are looking for a Full-Stack Senior Software Engineer to join our cross-functional Biosamples squad.

If you are passionate about your work, develop consistently high-quality code, and are adept at identifying, preventing, and troubleshooting problems we would love to hear from you. 

We feel hiring should be transparent and give you a real sense of what Our Future Health is like. Here's what you can expect:  

Initial chat with our Talent team (30 min) to get to know each other, discuss the role, and answer any questions you have. 

1st interview with your potential line manager (30 min), giving you an opportunity to learn more about the Biosamples squad, discuss your experience and align on the expectations of the role.  

Technical interview with two members of our engineering team (90 min). Ahead of the interview, we'll send you a short coding exercise to complete. During the interview, you'll pair with our engineers to develop your solution further, followed by a technical discussion exploring the design and architecture of a system you've previously worked on.  

Final-stage competency interview (60 min) with a small cross-functional panel of your potential new colleagues and stakeholders. This will focus on areas such as collaboration, ownership, communication and how you work within a cross-functional team. 

• You’ll help design, build and run the systems that support how we manage biosamples and their associated operations and logistics, from the collection of samples through to their processing by our laboratory partners.
• The squad builds an internal web application used by our Biosamples Operations team, alongside data-processing services and integrations with our lab partners. 
• The software helps our teams track and manage samples, maintain a clear chain of custody and understand the information returned as samples are processed.
• This is a specialist operational domain rather than a high-traffic, public-facing product. You don’t need previous biosamples, laboratory or healthcare experience, what matters is being comfortable learning a complex domain, working closely with operational colleagues and translating their needs into well-designed software.
