Clojure Engineer
A Bit About Us
We're Doccla, the virtual ward company. We provide patients and clinicians with the transformative power of remote patient monitoring.
Our existing customers are Hospitals, Community Services, and NHS Commissioners that we partner with to deliver tech enabled virtual wards. With our technology, logistics, and support patients can be discharged from a hospital ward to a virtual one and recover in the comfort of their own homes. Patients love our care pathways and health services become more efficient; it's a win-win.
Doccla is a growing health tech startup; we have secured a £35ml at Series B, led by European VC Lakestar, with new investors French VC Elaia and existing investors General Catalyst, Speedinvest and the investment leg of German media company Bertelsmann also participating. We're solving real problems for patients and health systems and we are growing at exceptional speed. We're looking for dedicated people with a passion for solving the problems in healthcare.
This is your chance to join us at a key stage of our growth. Our ambition is to be a category leader for virtual healthcare. You will be joining a highly entrepreneurial team that combines technical, clinical, operational, and commercial colleagues.
What you'll do:
- Designing, building and maintaining Doccla’s platform and associated services.
- Raising the bar for engineering standards and architecture across the team
- Embracing variety—expect to work on something new and challenging every day.
- Helping us leverage efficiencies in a heavily regulated industry through automation and driving changes.
- Working in a high growth B2B business, that mixes sales led and product thinking.
- Collaborating across a growing team in a high-velocity B2B environment where sales and product thinking go hand in hand.
- Leveraging your experience to guide decisions, ensuring we build the right things at the right time for our users
- Navigating a diverse, evolving tech landscape—think multi-language (Clojure, Elixir, React), multi-cloud, and full interesting challenges.
Requirements
- Has experience with Clojure or another functional programming language in production systems—and can get up to speed quickly.
- Is confident in backend engineering but also willing to roll up their sleeves on the frontend (React) when needed.
- Is curious and adaptable—more interested in solving problems pragmatically than debating the “one true way” to write code
- Works well independently but is able to collaborate empathetically and professionally with others.
- Likes taking ownership and seeing things through from idea to delivery.
- Feels comfortable in a fast-changing startup, and sees it as a chance to learn and shape something meaningful.
- Optionally has experience working within health tech or a heavily regulated industry but this is not required.
Don’t worry if you don’t have all of these, we value diverse skill sets, and recognise that no one candidate will match all of these - we’d love to hear from you if this role seems like an interesting opportunity for you.
Technologies
We have:
- Clojure, Elixir, React, React Native, Java, Docker, Kubernetes, GCP/AWS/Azure
