Full Stack Engineer

Description

Our mission

Great science regularly stalls in the clinic, not because the science is wrong, but because the company behind it lacks the capital, infrastructure, or focus to take it all the way through. Today’s clinical-stage biopharma model is broken, and as a result promising treatments never reach patients.

Our mission is to fix this: we’re building the next generation of biopharma by in-licensing clinical-stage therapeutic assets and developing them through the company’s integrated, technology-first clinical trial infrastructure. We’re a new initiative, but we’re building on a proven foundation - the same infrastructure that has delivered 82% of the company’s sponsor trials on or ahead of timeline, across 40+ completed trials across the US and Europe.

We’re targeting deal close on our first assets through 2026, with first trials launching in H1 2027.

About the role

We are looking for a software engineer to help build the platform powering the next generation of clinical trials. Join our fast-moving team and help us scale the product to manage complex trials and bring new treatments to patients faster!

This is an onsite role in London with a flexible (hybrid) office arrangement. After an initial onboarding period full-time at our headquarters (near London Bridge) we expect you to be in the office at least 3 days a week.

Requirements

• We’d like to hear from you if…

• You have embraced the recent advances in AI, and enjoy leveraging AI to help you in your role
• You are comfortable working across a stack that includes frontend (TypeScript/React), backend (Python/Node.js/Postgres) and infrastructure (AWS). You don’t necessarily have hands-on experience with all pieces of our stack but are happy to pick up technology and processes that’s new to you.

• In your first month
• Learn about clinical trials and the problems we are trying to solve through our onboarding training and chats with people across the company
• Collaborate with the product team on starter projects and make your first commits

• Become familiar with the core components of our stack (React, TypeScript, Python, Postgres, Terraform, Kubernetes, Github Actions, Relational databases, Claude Code)
• In your first 3 months
• Develop deeper understanding of one or more areas of our stack
• Contribute actively to the team’s processes and rituals, such as retrospectives and standups
