Back in 2018, we realised there was a huge problem in the world of skincare: people don't just struggle with their skin – they struggle with how they're supposed to deal with it.With no truly effective solutions out there, low confidence levels and high frustrations make it difficult for us to bring our best selves to the day ahead. We knew there had to be a better way to give everyone's skin what it really needed.So, with a small (but growing) team of dermatologists, pharmacists, direct-to-consumer experts and other brilliantly innovative people, we decided to change the face of skincare.And so, here we are – on a mission to build an accessible way for people to tackle their skin goals once and for all, with powerful, personalised solutions that truly work.

📋 Description

• Build the services behind the journey: APIs, data models and services powering consultations, prescriptions and order generation, with support from senior engineers. • Ship and own: take backend features from ticket to production and keep them fast, correct and healthy once they're live. • Write code others build on: clean, well-tested, and clear enough for the next person to pick up.

🎯 Requirements

• Backend depth: solid, recent, hands-on experience building backend services and APIs in Node.js/TypeScript. A non-trivial piece of work you can walk us through and explain well. • Good fundamentals: sound data modelling, sensible API design, and an instinct for testing. • Care where it counts: a defect in these services can mean a wrong prescription or a mis-shipped order, so you build defensively. • Enough frontend to be useful: comfortable making React changes when a feature needs it (frontend won't be your main focus). • The stack: Node.js and TypeScript; relational databases (MySQL ideal); some exposure to AWS/Docker is a plus. • Clear communication: much of our work is written (PRs, docs), so explaining a decision crisply matters. • Roughly 3-6 years building software in production. We read for depth in your area, not years.

🏖️ Benefits

• Equity: a meaningful stake in a profitable, Series B-backed business that's growing fast, with flexibility on your cash/equity mix. • Time off: 25 days holiday plus bank holidays. • Hybrid & flexible: three days together in Paddington (Mon, Tue, Fri), remote Wed/Thu, core hours 10-4 with flexibility around them. • Fuelled: free breakfast and lunch on office days, plus snacks and drinks. • Growth: a £500 annual personal development budget. • Family & health: healthcare cash plan, cycle-to-work, and a workplace nursery scheme (save tax/NI on childcare). • The extras: a dog-friendly HQ (two resident pups), an active Culture Club, and heavily discounted products for you and 10 friends & family.
