Role overview
Nourish Care Systems Limited is a UK-based company providing digital care management software for the health and social care sector. It offers an app-based care planning platform used by over 2500 care providers to support more than 45,000 people, focusing on person-centered care, streamlining operations, improving compliance, and enhancing communication in settings like residential care, nursing homes, domiciliary care, and more.
What you will do
- Write production-grade code daily across the full stack including Ruby on Rails, PHP, Vue.js, and AWS infrastructure handling thousands of requests per minute.
- Lead a product triad alongside a PO and Designer, managing the technical delivery and architectural roadmap for a team of three developers.
- Mentor and develop direct reports through proactive pairing, rigorous code reviews, and individual growth plans focused on long-term career breadth.
Who this is a fit for
- A polyglot engineer with strong object-oriented foundations in languages like C#, Ruby, or Java and the ability to pivot between frameworks quickly.
- Proven experience leading technical delivery within an agile environment, demonstrating a product-first mindset rather than an agency or contract delivery focus.
- Deep technical credibility across the full stack, including databases with hundreds of millions of records and modern DevOps/CI/CD practices on AWS.
Why this role is remarkable
- Significant real-world impact: help provide a better life for nearly a million people daily through NHS-assured technology used by over 425,000 carers.
- Backed by Livingbridge, we are the dominant market leader with the stability of a proven product and the ambition of a high-growth scale-up.
- Exceptional engineering culture prioritizing pair programming, clean code, and long-term maintainability over quick-fix project delivery.
