Back-End Engineering Manager (Hands-on) (£100k - £120k Bonus)
Join to apply for the Back-End Engineering Manager (Hands-on) (£100k - £120k Bonus) role at Practi.
Who we are
Practi is building the FinTech for UK Healthcare. At a time when the healthcare landscape in the UK is changing rapidly, we're building solutions for both healthcare professionals and patients that increase access to healthcare for everyone.
54% of patients who attend a private medical clinic for an assessment consultation decide not to move forward due to patient anxiety and/or affordability of treatment. Practi has built a platform that allows clinicians to give their patients a premium experience with educational treatment content to ease anxiety about moving forward, with an embedded finance solution that allows patients to apply for finance to eliminate affordability as a barrier to receiving healthcare.
Practi is a corporate venture, proudly part of the Simplyhealth group (a purpose-driven B Corp), which means we have all the financial stability and industry expertise of an established player, but with the agility and autonomy of a start-up. We're passionate about solving these issues for everyone, and whilst we've started in the Dental sector, we have big plans to expand across multiple healthcare verticals. We’ve got a world-class leadership team onboard, led by a successful serial entrepreneur, and we're actively building out the team as we begin to scale - come join us!
