Agentic Software Engineer

Our client is a UK-based organisation operating in the medtech industry, with a team of around 200 people. They design and manufacture bespoke solutions that improve patients’ quality of life.

They are investing significantly in technology and automation to support their next phase of growth. A key initiative is the development of a new digital platform that connects prescription workflows, manufacturing processes, and patient outcomes into a single integrated system.

This is a hands-on lead role suited to someone who works agentically- using AI systems to plan, scaffold, and deliver complex development tasks, while applying strong engineering judgement to review and refine outputs.

As the first dedicated developer on this platform, you will work closely with senior leadership from initial concept through to production delivery, playing a central role in shaping both the system and the future team.

Our client is looking for someone entrepreneurial and highly proactive, who is comfortable engaging directly with clinicians and operational teams to understand real-world problems before building solutions.

• Direct AI coding agents across complex, multi-step development tasks, structuring context and taking full ownership of outputs
• Translate requirements, user journeys, and wireframes into working software
• Develop across the full stack: front-end interfaces, APIs, data models, and integrations
• Contribute to architectural decisions (data models, authentication, hosting, security) using senior-level judgement
• Maintain strong version control and deployment practices (Git, branching, code review, CI/CD)
• Work closely with clinical, operational, and manufacturing teams to inform product development
• Support the growth and shaping of the technical team over time

• Front-end: React + TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui
• Mobile: Capacitor (shared codebase across web and mobile)

• Strong full-stack development experience (React, TypeScript, Node.js)
• Experience designing REST APIs and working with relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL)
• Practical cloud experience (AWS or Azure), including deployment and CI/CD pipelines
• Proven ability to work in an agentic way with AI development tools — structuring problems and critically evaluating outputs
• Strong understanding of authentication, authorisation, data modelling, security, and edge cases
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• A self-driven, entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable working autonomously within a small, high-impact team

• Scope to shape a growing platform and team
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Company pension scheme
• Flexible hybrid working 
• Budget for AI tooling and productivity tools

We are particularly interested in hearing about:

• Projects delivered using AI-assisted development workflows
• Tools you use regularly
• How your development approach has evolved alongside AI advancements
