In this role, you will own and develop the API platform that connects Healthdirect's services with external partners — adopting standards such as FHIR — and the AI enablement layer, scaling both the platform and the AI agents built on it. Reporting to the Head of Engineering, you will lead a dedicated engineering team while staying technically engaged in solution design, integration architecture, coding practices and code review.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
