Senior Software Engineer (FullStack)

🐦 About Birdie

At Birdie, we’re reimagining care for older adults. We’re building the technology that powers the future of home healthcare, empowering care teams with tools to deliver better, more dignified care, and enabling older people to thrive in their own homes for longer. Our all-in-one solution powers millions of care visits every month, equipping care providers with the tools they need to deliver exceptional, efficient care.

We’re not here to tinker at the edges. We’re here to radically transform a broken system.

That’s why we’ve built an all-in-one platform that supported over 60 million care visits and enabled care for 116,000 individuals in 2025, and we continue to grow our impact. We’re scaling fast, but staying true to our purpose. That’s why we’re proud to be a B Corp, using business as a force for good.

Founded in 2017, Birdie is backed by world-class investors like Index Ventures, Sofina and Omers. In 2023, we ranked #6 in the Deloitte Fast 50, making us one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK. You can check out more about our impact and recognition here.

But speed isn’t the point. Impact is.

⚡️ Your mission

Rostering is one of the most complex and consequential parts of what we build at Birdie. It's the system that decides how thousands of care workers spend every minute of their day, which means when it works it powers safe, on-time care for older adults receiving support at home. When it doesn't, people miss visits. We've grown beyond what our first version can support, and we're rebuilding it as Rostering V2: the operational backbone we want our partners to depend on for the next ten years.

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, your mission is to own and ship Rostering V2 features end-to-end. You'll work alongside a Staff IC and four senior engineers, writing TypeScript and React on the frontend, Node.js (and Go as you ramp) on the backend, partnering with Product to translate care-management requirements into reliable software.

Beyond your immediate delivery, you'll have room to shape Rostering V2's architectural direction and raise the engineering quality bar within the squad. You'll carry your share of the out-of-hours support rota, because the systems we build run twenty-four hours a day for the partners who depend on them.

Six months in, here's what good looks like: You've shipped meaningful Rostering V2 features end-to-end. You're carrying the on-call rota with confidence. The codebase looks better because of your work: cleaner standards and sharper tests. The squad trusts your judgement on architectural decisions, and so do you.

🦸‍♀️ How you will contribute

Own full-stack feature delivery for Rostering V2

You'll take features from technical design through to production, shipping work that holds up under the volume and complexity of real care delivery, independently and with minimal oversight.

Partner with Product to shape what gets built

Rostering epics are complex, full of edge cases and trade-offs. You'll work closely with Product to break them down, surface what's hard, and influence what we build and in what order, not just how. The partnership is real, not procedural.

Contribute to engineering quality and architectural direction

Through code reviews, TDD practice, technical design input, and setting standards within the squad. You'll have a voice in how Rostering V2 evolves and what good looks like for the engineers who follow you. As you build domain expertise in Rostering, you'll lift the engineers around you.

Ramp on the Rostering domain quickly

Healthcare and care operations have their own logic and constraints. You don't need a background in either, but you do need to ramp fast. Most engineers are shipping real work within their first 30 days.
