The successful candidate will be expected to take ownership of features and initiatives end-to-end, from initial scoping through to deployment and ongoing maintenance.

We are not in a position to sponsor work visas at this time. Use of AI Development Tools The use of AI-assisted development tools, in particular Claude Code, is integral to how we build software at MedLink. We do not regard these tools as optional or supplementary; they are a core part of our engineering workflow. Candidates should have meaningful, hands-on experience using AI coding assistants as part of their day-to-day development practice and should be able to articulate how these tools have changed the way they design, write, and review code. Candidates who have not yet incorporated such tools into their workflow, or who regard them sceptically, are unlikely to be a good fit for this role. Desirable Experience The following are not strictly required, but candidates who can demonstrate them will be at an advantage: • Experience with Inertia.js / Bootstrap CSS., • Prior experience working in healthcare, NHS-adjacent, or other regulated industries., • Experience providing technical support to non-technical end users., • Experience building and operating multi-tenant SaaS applications., • Experience integrating with complex or imperfectly documented third-party APIs., • Familiarity with Laravel Horizon, Redis, and queue-based architectures.

A piece of work you have shipped to production that you are particularly proud of, and your specific contribution to it., 2. How you currently use AI development tools in your work, and how this has changed your approach to building software. Applications should be sent to . Our interview process consists of an initial screening call, a technical exercise, a technical deep-dive discussion, and a final conversation focused on working style and team fit. References will be requested prior to any offer being made. We aim to complete the process within three weeks from initial contact.
