About the role

London, UK

Hybrid (3 days in our Paddington HQ: Mon, Tue, Fri)

Stack: React, TypeScript, Python, Flask, MySQL, AWS

In 2018 we set out to solve a problem millions of people faced: not just struggling with their skin, but struggling to navigate skincare at all. We combined dermatology, pharmacy and technology into something simpler and genuinely personalised, and proved expert-led care could reach people who'd never had access to it.

Today, +Me is the company behind Skin + Me, Hair + Me and Renew + Me, with more on the horizon. We're not building a single brand. We're building a category. We've delivered millions of treatments, we're profitable and growing fast, and we're expanding the engineering team to match.

What You'll Build

You'll join the team behind our core commerce and clinical journey: the ecom stack, consultation engine, patient and prescription systems, and order generation. This is where customers discover us, complete a clinical consultation, subscribe, and receive their personalised treatment, at real consumer scale.

On our Python and React stack, that's the storefront behind Skin + Me and Hair + Me, our flagship brands serving customers at scale.

We're hiring a Full Stack Engineer with a frontend lean to build the customer-facing side of this system in React/TypeScript, backed by our Python/Flask services. Frontend is your strength: clean, responsive, accessible interfaces, and you're equally happy working into the backend to ship a feature end-to-end. You'll learn fast alongside experienced engineers who'll back your growth.

What You'll Do

Build the customer-facing journey: clean, responsive, accessible React/TypeScript for the storefront and the consultation experience

Ship end-to-end: work into our Python/Flask backend to get a feature out the door, with support from senior engineers

Sweat the details: performance, accessibility, and the small things that make a clinical product feel trustworthy

What we're looking for

Frontend depth: solid, recent, hands-on experience building production React/TypeScript interfaces. A non-trivial piece of work you can walk us through and explain well

Genuinely full-stack: able and willing to work in a Python/Flask backend to get a feature shipped (you don't throw it over a wall)

Good fundamentals: component structure, state management, performance, and an instinct for testing

Care where it counts: you hold a high bar for correctness and detail, because this is a clinical product people rely on, not just a marketing site

The stack: React and TypeScript; working comfort with Python/Flask; relational databases (MySQL) a plus

Clear communication: much of our work is written (PRs, docs), so explaining a decision crisply matters

Roughly 3-6 years building software in production. We read for depth in your area, not years

How we work

We're a small, experienced engineering team working closely with product, clinical and operations. We care about craft: clean code, honest reviews, and owning what you ship through to production. And because our software turns a clinical consultation into a real prescription and a treatment someone receives, correctness and care aren't optional here. They're the job.

How We Use AI

Agentic tools like Claude Code and Codex are a standard part of how we work, and we're leaning into them hard: we automate the routine so we can spend our energy on the harder problems. You'll need to be comfortable working this way, and real skill with these tools is a genuine advantage we value. But it's a multiplier on strong engineering judgement, not a substitute for it, and never a prerequisite. If it's newer to you and you're keen to grow, we'll back you.

Compensation & Benefits

We pay competitive base salaries and back them with meaningful equity, so your upside grows with the company you're helping build.

Equity: a meaningful stake in a profitable, Series B-backed business that's growing fast, with flexibility on your cash/equity mix

Time off: 25 days holiday plus bank holidays

Hybrid & flexible: three days together in Paddington (Mon, Tue, Fri), remote Wed/Thu, core hours 10-4 with flexibility around them

Fuelled: free breakfast and lunch on office days, plus snacks and drinks

Growth: a £500 annual personal development budget

Family & health: healthcare cash plan, cycle-to-work, and a workplace nursery scheme (save tax/NI on childcare)

The extras: a dog-friendly HQ (two resident pups), an active Culture Club, and heavily discounted products for you and 10 friends & family

How we hire

We keep it short and respect your time:

Intro call with our engineers (25-30 mins), including a short system-design chat

A conversation with our Director of Software Engineering (30 mins)

A practical take-home task, in your own time

Onsite at our Paddington HQ to review your task and meet the team

Great engineers come from all kinds of backgrounds. If this resonates, even if you don't tick every box, we'd love to hear from you.
