**Job Summary **

We are a company that specialises in running hospital laboratories across the UK.

We are looking for talented developers to extend a next-generation laboratory results system that will record patients’ test results and make it easier for doctors to get to the information that matters.

**Tech stack **

C# .Net Core, Kubernetes (AKS), VueJS. Deployed in Azure Devops (CI/CD). Azure SQL database.

**Where will you work? **

This is a hybrid role based in London. We use Teams for meetings and instant messaging. Our head office is a brand-new laboratory near Kings Cross. It’s one of the biggest diagnostic labs in Europe with advanced robotic systems and high spec lab facilities covering everything from blood sciences to genetic testing. We may ask that you visit our labs to understand what we do, but that’s not often.

**What are we doing? **

Hospital lab systems haven’t evolved much in many decades, so there is enormous scope to innovate in this area. We have built a solid web platform deploying to Kubernetes services in Azure. The system has been running the labs for multiple hospitals across London for a few years. It connects up to the machines that run our blood tests and to the hospital systems to send results to patients. Now we need experienced in-house developers to take it to the next level. You will join a team with three developers, an IT operations team, and many experienced scientists.

**Who are you? **

You will be a well-rounded developer with some experience of front end and back end. We understand that nobody can be an expert in everything, but you should have some familiarity with the full stack.

You should be the kind of person that likes to take ownership of your system, and actively looks for ways to improve things, including monitoring solutions and updates.

You should be able to write your code clearly and in a way that is easy for other developers to support and extend.

**Required Education, Skills and Qualifications **

Essential

5+ years experience with C# ASP.NET development. Experience with JavaScript, or JavaScript frameworks.

2+ years experience with Azure.

Excellent communication skills in dealing with stakeholders and understanding complex business requirements.

**Desirable Experience**
