Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our dynamic, fast-growing team as we build a greenfield software platform from the ground up. You’ll play a critical role in shaping the core technology behind a healthcare solution that’s transforming access to medical cannabis care in the UK and beyond.

This is an opportunity to work with a modern stack—TypeScript, React, NestJS, PostgreSQL (RDS), and AWS Lambda, and to influence the design and development of scalable, mission-driven systems from day one.

Why us?

Technology is at the core of everything we do. Our platform enables patients to access safe, effective cannabis therapies while supporting clinicians with the tools they need to deliver world-class care. As a Full Stack Engineer, you’ll be empowered to make high-impact decisions, work cross-functionally with the business, and build solutions that directly improve the quality of life for thousands of people.

We offer the autonomy of a startup, the stability of a growing international business, and a shared mission that drives everything forward.

What You’ll Do

As a Full Stack Engineer, you’ll collaborate with product managers, clinicians, and fellow engineers to build secure, scalable, and user-friendly systems. You’ll be responsible for:

  • Designing and developing full-stack applications using React on the frontend and NestJS on the backend.
  • Building and maintaining RESTful APIs that serve high-availability applications.
  • Creating intuitive, accessible user interfaces that improve the clinical and patient experience.
  • Managing and optimising our AWS infrastructure (Lambda, RDS, SQS, etc.) with an eye toward scalability, performance, and cost-efficiency.
  • Ensuring code quality through automated testing, code reviews, and modern CI/CD practices.
  • Playing a leading role in architecture discussions, technical planning, and mentoring junior developers.
  • Working with SQL databases and contributing to thoughtful data architecture.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a talented and experienced Full Stack Engineer who’s passionate about building products that matter. The ideal candidate will have:

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3 years working across both frontend and backend systems.
  • Strong expertise in TypeScript and Node.js, with hands-on experience in React and NestJS (or similar frameworks).
  • A solid understanding of SQL and relational databases, especially PostgreSQL.
  • Experience with AWS services such as Lambda, RDS, S3, and SQS.
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset and a collaborative attitude.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally.

UK residency:  You must be based in the United Kingdom to be considered for this role.

What You’ll Get

We value our people and invest in their well-being and growth. As a Full Stack Engineer, you’ll receive:

  • 25 days holiday + UK bank holidays, increasing to 30 days after one year of service.
  • A competitive pension scheme with employer-matched contributions up to 5%.
  • Remote-first flexibility, with in-person collaboration when needed.
  • Participation in industry events, trade shows, and award ceremonies as our representative.
  • Access to a cycle-to-work scheme, along with other perks supporting work-life balance.
  • The opportunity to shape a product that is changing lives and contributing to meaningful healthcare innovation.

About us

We are the UK’s leading medical cannabis company, part of a global organisation revolutionising access to cannabis-based therapies. We operate end-to-end healthcare ecosystems that integrate telehealth, prescription management, product distribution, and ongoing patient support.

With medical cannabis legalised in over 50 countries and patient demand continuing to rise, we are building the infrastructure to support scalable, ethical, and effective care. Our approach is technology-first, enabling us to offer seamless clinical experiences and raise the bar for cannabis care.

Join Us

If you’re an experienced Full Stack Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment, this is your chance to make a real impact in one of the most exciting areas of healthcare innovation.
