About Naturecan
Naturecan is a fast-growing, multi-market health and wellness company operating across e-commerce, pharmacy, and clinical healthcare. We run regulated operations in the UK, Germany, and beyond — across brands including Naturecan, Mycannabis, and Dose.
Our technology team sits at the heart of that growth. We build and maintain the platforms that underpin every part of the business — and we're scaling fast.
About the Dose Platform
Dose is our UK medical cannabis clinic — CQC-registered and GPhC-registered pharmacy, pre-launch, and built to deliver a full end-to-end digital treatment pathway.
We are now launching a brand-new, world-class digital platform to power the full patient treatment pathway: from initial consultation and prescribing through to dispensing, fulfilment, and ongoing care.
This is a greenfield build with a clear brief: scalable, secure, and built to a standard that can expand across EU and global markets. We are at a pivotal moment, and this role sits at the heart of it.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced Senior Developer to join a small, high‑calibre engineering team and help architect and build the Dose platform from the ground up. You will work closely with the IT Director, lead developer, clinical stakeholders, and product management to deliver a product that meets the rigorous demands of a regulated healthcare environment — while being fast, elegant, and built to last.
This is not a ticket‑grinding role. We want someone who takes ownership, thinks about the wider system, and cares about the quality of what they ship.
What You'll Do
* Architect and build core features of the Dose platform — from patient onboarding through to prescription management and fulfilment integration.
* Work across the full stack, with a focus on backend services, APIs, and secure data handling in a regulated environment.
* Collaborate with the IT Director and lead developer on system design, code review, and technical decision‑making.
* Contribute to the establishment of engineering standards, CI/CD pipelines, and testing frameworks from an early stage.
* Integrate with third‑party clinical systems, pharmacy platforms, and payment providers.
* Ensure the platform is built to meet CQC, GDPR, and relevant healthcare compliance requirements.
* Participate in sprint planning, retrospectives, and cross‑functional delivery discussions.
Skills & Experience
We’re looking for someone with most of the following — you don’t need to tick every box:
* 5+ years of professional software development experience, with strong backend skills in Bun.js (or Node.js), TypeScript, React or comparable JavaScript libraries.
* Experience designing and building RESTful APIs and microservices at scale.
* Solid understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL or similar) and data modelling.
* Familiarity with cloud infrastructure — GCP, AWS — and infrastructure‑as‑code practices.
* Experience with CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions or similar) and automated testing.
* Strong knowledge of security best practices, particularly around authentication, authorisation, and sensitive data handling.
* Experience working in regulated or compliance‑heavy environments (healthcare, fintech, or similar) is a strong plus.
* Comfortable working in small teams where ownership and initiative matter as much as technical skill.
* Familiarity with AI‑assisted development workflows — using tools for ticket creation, code assistance, documentation, and engineering efficiency.
* Ability to take end‑to‑end ownership of features — driving work from technical design through to production without needing to be managed at every step.
* UI experience is a plus.
