Full Stack Engineer

Hey! Thanks for taking the time to read through one of our open roles. We’re looking for an exceptional Full Stack Engineer to join our Research & Development team and we hope this could be a match made in heaven. 

Who is Peppy?

Our mission is to fix healthcare & wellbeing. We do this by supporting the employees of our global clients, including JP Morgan, Disney, Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft, Sony, Clifford Chance, Wells Fargo, Bloomberg, and over 200 others.

Having already revolutionised the employee benefits sector with our innovative clinical products – such as the world’s first menopause benefit – we are now building the world’s most advanced benefits management platform. Think of us as a “Deel for Benefits” – a rocket-ship opportunity with a mission that truly matters. The global benefits sector encompasses employer-funded pensions, critical illness insurance, private healthcare insurance, and many other categories. This is a trillion-dollar TAM with weak, incumbent competition and almost no AI-first startups stepping up to the challenge.

We are a Series B company with $56m in funding to date, operationally cashflow positive, and with secure access to additional capital for accelerated growth. Join us for the ride of your life.

What will a day in the life of our Full Stack Engineer look like?

• Support the development and implementation of our next generation benefits platform, using personalization, experimentation, and AI/ML methods to enhance user experience in a meaningful business.

• Utilise your growing skills in React / Javascript / Typescript and/or Python to contribute to world-class applications within an agile, cross-functional team environment.

• Engage across our tech stack (mobile, web, backend, data, ML) to deliver impactful user and business outcomes consistently.

• Maintain clean, efficient, and tested code, ensuring documentation is clear for both peers and future reference.

• Actively participate in peer review processes to uphold high standards of code quality through version control and CI/CD practices.

• Work collaboratively with product and design teams to help define and understand new features and requirements, bringing a user-focused perspective to the development process.

• Foster a growth mindset, continuously seeking to refine your technical skills with the encouragement and support of your team.

• Seek opportunities to enhance user satisfaction and operational efficiency within the platform, contributing to simplified solutions and improved performance.

• Gain a broader understanding of how engineering efforts support various business functions including clinical operations, service delivery, sales, and marketing.

Our dream Full Stack Engineer will have:

• Demonstrated ability to contribute to the development of impactful products, ideally with some exposure to early-stage startup environments.

• The ability to thrive amongst the ambiguity and uncertainty of nascent projects and eagerness to engage in shaping future developments.

• 2+ years of professional experience in building customer-facing Web/Mobile Applications using JavaScript / TypeScript and/or Python.

• Proficiency in developing with React, including Redux, React Hooks, Next.js, and backend REST APIs.

• Experience with at least one major cloud platform (Google Cloud preferred, AWS, or Azure).

• Some exposure to data engineering/ETL, machine learning, and AI methods, with a willingness to deepen this knowledge.

• Effective communication skills, capable of conveying complex ideas succinctly and clearly to both technical and non-technical team members.

• Understanding of what scale and quality entail within a larger technology company.

• Strong ability to learn new technologies, investigate emerging trends, prototype solutions, and adapt to new tools and methodologies.

• A good grasp of coding best practices, aiming to write efficient, scalable, and maintainable code.

• Motivation to work in a fast-paced environment, with a strong interest in seeing your projects released and iteratively improved upon in real-world applications.

  
  

• You may not check all of these boxes, and that’s totally fine! We strongly encourage excited candidates of all backgrounds to apply.
