About Our Client
Our client is the first value-based family building company, dedicated to giving people control over their fertility with clinically proven pathways to parenthood—whether they want a child now or later. They take on the financial risk so that if they don’t deliver successful outcomes, their customers don’t pay. The company was founded out of a personal journey through assisted fertility, with a mission to create a better experience for others facing similar challenges.
Their mission is to give anyone who wants a family their best chance at parenthood, offering access to a network of clinics selected for their results, affordable and flexible payment options, and wraparound care and support with a 90+ NPS. Their vision is to become the go-to brand for family building.
The Role
Our client is looking for a passionate engineer to build the financial platforms for their insurance and lending products. You will work on features and services that reduce the financial stress and burden of fertility treatments and increase operational efficiency.
As a Product Engineer, you will be responsible for shipping innovative features and solutions at breakneck speed. If you are someone who loves solving problems for customers, cares about software engineering as a craft, and finds thrill in building startups, our client wants to talk to you.
What You Will Own
* Designing and building scalable software to deliver a world class digital experience to customers, integrating complex financial processes (like underwriting, insurance, risk scoring, loan servicing, payments)
* Scoping and leading technical projects, laying the groundwork for products to iteratively evolve, scale and deliver outcomes
* Making effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and technical feasibility
* Collaborating closely with product, design, ops and data teams to prioritise and build solutions and deliver customer and business outcomes
* Improving the developer experience and quality of systems by investing in tooling, infrastructure, code quality, automated testing and observability
* Setting the engineering culture with the rest of the team by defining how to work as a team, set standards for quality, and improve the speed of engineering execution
You’ll Be Great for This Role If You
* Have experienced life as a full-stack engineer (backend leaning is ideal!) in a startup for over 3 years
* Are experienced in working with PostgreSQL
* Are resilient working in ambiguity while seamlessly balancing tactical and strategic considerations
* Are ready to hit the ground running with a strong technical background, including experience building high-quality code and infrastructure
* Enjoy working as part of a small, cross-functional team in close partnership with other cross-functional teams
* Prefer simple solutions and designs over complex ones
* Like to take ownership of problems. The product spans across healthcare, insurance and finance. You will need to find creative solutions and get others on board with them
* Approach understanding and solving problems holistically, not only from a tech point of view
Our client always prefers passion over skills. If you do not tick all of the above requirements but are excited about their mission and values, please get in touch!
How Our Client Builds
* Works in small cross-functional teams collaborating closely across the entire business
* Believes work should be shipped and improved in small iterations with the help of early feedback from Members and internal users
* Is heavily biased towards keeping things simple, using existing open-source technologies and not reinventing the wheel if no value can be added
* The tech stack is built of strongly typed TypeScript, Next.js + React.js, Nest.js, PostgreSQL and SQS
* Production services run on AWS and Vercel. Infrastructure and configuration are automated using Pulumi and Github Actions
* The observability stack is built up of Cloudwatch, Grafana and Sentry
Throughout the interview process, our client is looking for...
* You can take on big, loosely defined projects, break them down, and deliver them in an intuitive and digestible way
* You are comfortable working in a constantly-changing environment, regularly questioning and challenging the status quo
* You are able to understand problems deeply and holistically
* You can communicate complex topics clearly and concisely
* You show the potential to mentor other engineers as the team builds
