Who we are

Isla Health is a venture-backed health-tech startup, supporting our partners across the UK, EU and internationally. We have built a new category of healthcare technology which we refer to as the Digital Pathway Platform (DPP). Founded in 2019, we now support 25% of NHS Trusts and see 2 million submissions on the platform every year.

As a company we are all laser focused on enabling a scalable model of care which empowers healthcare staff and improves patient outcomes. The DPP supports this by setting up digital pathways which are remote-first and asynchronous. As pathways harness sophisticated automation, clinical algorithms and intelligent co-horting, patients always take the optimised route through their pathway, thereby delivering a step change in clinical productivity.

We're looking for a Senior Node.js Engineer to work closely with our product & client facing teams, understand our customer challenges, and ship things quickly to test & learn. You will design, scope, build and deploy new features quickly for our users.

You’ll have high ownership over whole areas of the codebase and who features end-to-end, contributing to a platform that supports millions of patient interactions.You should be biased towards pace and experimentation and excited about solving the big challenges in healthcare.

------

What you’ll do

  • Build the platform that will allow our clients to look after their patients, integrating new data sources to drive our DPP, managing those complex clinical data flows to ensure that data is where it needs to be, and then writing updates back to 3rd party systems.
  • Own services in production, including monitoring, debugging, and improving reliability over time
  • Collaborate with product and design to deliver user-focused solutions
  • Support and improve our cloud infrastructure

Outcomes you’ll be responsible for

  • Support and mentor other engineers through collaboration and code review
  • Champion technical excellence and continuous improvement by driving best practices in software development, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure

  • Cross-functional collaboration: You’ll work in a tight loop with our Product, Design, and Frontend teams.

Our tech & tools:

We lean into modern, scalable infrastructure (Node.js, TypeScript, GCP). We prioritise tools that enable velocity - such as Terraform and automated CI/CD. We also lean heavily into AI, and you’ll be able (encouraged) to use whatever tools you need to scale your own and the team’s workflows

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.
