Senior Full Stack Engineer

Hey! Thanks for taking the time to read through one of our open roles. We’re looking for an exceptional Senior 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 Senior Full Stack Engineer look like?

• Play a critical role in shaping, architecting, and implementing our next generation benefits platform, leveraging personalization, experimentation, and AI/ML methods, for a business that truly makes a difference in people’s lives

• Apply your expertise in React / Javascript / Typescript and/or Python to deliver world-class applications as a leader, contributor, and mentor on an agile, cross-functional team

• Contribute effectively across our tech stack (mobile, web, backend, data, ML) to routinely deliver user and business impact 

• Write clean, performant, and tested code, documented for the benefit of your peers and beyond

• Participate in peer review and ensure high quality of deliverables via version control and CI/CD

• Collaborate closely with product and design to define new features, functionality, and requirements by channelling your user empathy and personal experience to help craft a shared vision

• Embody a growth mindset, working to advance and acquire skills with support from peers and leaders

• Identify and act on opportunities to improve user happiness, impact the business, and simplify our technical surface area

• Understand and support business functions beyond engineering, spanning our clinical, service delivery, sales, and marketing teams 

Our dream Senior Full Stack Engineer will have:

• Experience influencing and building impactful products from scratch, ideally for an early stage startup

• A history of thriving in the ambiguity and uncertainty of nascent projects, and relishes the opportunity to shape the future

• 5+ years of professional experience building customer-facing Web/Mobile Applications with a combination of Javascript / Typescript and/or Python

• Experience developing with React, Redux, React Hooks, Next.JS, and backend REST APIs

• Experience with Google Cloud (preferred), AWS, or Azure

• Familiarity with data engineering / ETL, machine learning, and AI methods

• Excellent communicator who can simplify complexity to share your work with the whole team and the wider company

• First-hand knowledge what scale and quality look like in a larger technology company

• Proven ability to learn, investigate, experiment, prototype, and iterate

• A deep understanding of coding best practices and a dedication to creating efficient, scalable, and maintainable code

• An insatiable desire to quickly release and iterate – you are happiest when the things you build go out in the wild

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