The care sector is being transformed by technology, and we’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to drive this transformation. You'll build Found OS, our next‑generation SaaS platform that revolutionizes care home management. You'll be working on the system that helps care providers manage enquiries, track occupancy, handle billing, and deliver better care to residents across the UK.

This is a hands‑on role where you'll drive technical excellence while shipping fast. You'll work across our full stack (Type Script, Node.js, React, Kubernetes), and experiment extensively with AI. We're looking for someone who embodies "outcomes over output" – someone who cares deeply about solving real problems for care providers, not just writing code.

• Building high‑impact features for Found OS with your cross‑functional team.
• Writing clean, well‑tested code that ships daily – we optimize for sustainable throughput and move fast.
• Collaborating with Product and Design to drive feature decisions based on care provider needs and business outcomes.
• Experimenting with AI tools and integrations to enhance both care provider workflows and internal productivity.
• Contributing to our platform evolution and improving developer experience.
• Contributing to our engineering culture of continuous improvement.

• Revolutionizing care management with AI – integrating AI to automate mundane tasks, provide intelligent transcriptions and offer predictive analysis to free up care providers to focus on resident care.
• Building the operational backbone of care homes – developing robust modules for enquiry tracking, resident occupancy, and billing that become essential tools for daily operations.
• Connecting the fragmented care ecosystem – creating seamless integrations with accounting software (Quick Books, Sage) and care planning systems, and feeding Found OS data into our marketplace.
• Driving strategic decisions with data – building comprehensive reporting and analytics dashboards that give operators the insights they need to optimize operations and improve resident outcomes.

• Have 4+ years of hands‑on software engineering experience with strong Type Script skills and full‑stack development across modern web technologies.
• Product‑mindful – translate business requirements into elegant technical solutions and focus on user outcomes.
• Write code that others love to work with – clean, tested, maintainable, and continuously improved.
• Obsession with AI – actively experiment with LLMs, coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) and AI‑driven productivity improvements.
• Thrive with autonomy but love collaboration – drive projects independently while contributing to team discussions and code reviews.
• Ship fast and iterate – prefer "good enough today" over "perfect next week" and optimize for learning speed.
• Curious about eldercare and motivated by our mission to transform how families find and access care.
• Eager to learn and stay current with technology trends, especially in AI and web development.

• The mission to elevate later life care doesn’t resonate with you.
• You prefer working in isolation rather than as part of a collaborative, fast‑paced team.
• You’re uncomfortable with ambiguity or prefer detailed specifications over problem‑solving from first principles.
• You haven’t embraced AI tools in your development workflow or aren’t curious about AI's potential.
• You prioritize perfect architecture over shipping working software to users.
• You’re looking for a role where you can specialise in a specific area (e.g., pure backend or pure frontend).
