Asssociate Software Engineer

About the role

As an Associate Software Engineer at Healios, you'll join a mission-led, collaborative team that values clarity and simplicity. You'll contribute to real product features from your first weeks, with the support, mentorship and space you need to deepen your craft and grow into ownership. Your work will contribute to one of our three strategic areas: improving the experience of the clinicians who use our platform, making client operations sustainable as we grow, or giving our partners the confidence to expand their work with us. You'll work closely with experienced engineers, analysts and tech associates, who are colleagues from across clinical, operations and commercial, on problems that improve the lives of young people and families. We'll support you to write maintainable code, understand the full lifecycle of software, and make thoughtful decisions as part of a cross-functional team.

Responsibilities

• Build and improve real, user-facing features alongside senior engineers and tech associates
• Write clean, readable, well-tested code, learning our standards and patterns as you go
• Take small tasks and slices of work from start to finish, raising blockers early
• Take part in code reviews and pairing, giving and receiving feedback openly
• Grow your understanding of our architecture, asking good questions about how things fit together
• Share progress clearly and often in a remote, asynchronous team
• Our stack
• We build primarily in Ruby on Rails, but we hire for the engineer rather than the framework. Strong full-stack fundamentals matter more to us than years on any one tool.
• The app: Ruby on Rails modular monolith, ViewComponents, Turbo
• Testing: RSpec
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Hosting and infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Docker
• Background jobs: Sidekiq
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions
• Monitoring: Grafana, Sentry
• Need to have
• Some experience, up to ~2 years building and maintaining web applications (commercial, internship, bootcamp or substantial personal and open-source work all count)
• Comfortable working full-stack in a modern web framework. Ruby on Rails ideally, though strong fundamentals in a similar stack are welcome and capability to learn
• A working grasp of MVC, automated testing, version control (Git) and the basics of web security
• Clear, thoughtful written communication and a real appetite to learn by doing
• A product mindset, with curiosity about how your work affects real users
• A commitment to safeguarding and ethical practice, as we build for children, young people and families
• Desirable
• Hands-on experience with parts of our stack, especially Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, Turbo and Tailwind
• Early exposure to cloud, infrastructure or DevOps-adjacent work (AWS, Docker, CI/CD, observability), which you'll have room to grow here
• Curiosity about using AI tools to produce better work, not only faster work
• A history of seeing tasks through to completion and contributing through prototyping
• If you don't meet every point above, please apply anyway. We are more interested in how you think and learn than in a perfect checklist, and we would be glad to consider your application.
