Our Purpose: A Better Life for Everyone

Nourish is not simply a technology company; we are a digital partner for the social and health care sector rooted in human connections, with the person being supported at its core. We offer a range of co-produced software solutions tailored to the unique challenges of care, while still being flexible enough to meet the specific needs of each individual service we work with.

We are at an exciting stage of growth. While we are the market leader, we remain ambitious and dedicated to our mission. We continue to revolutionise the sector by investing in our platform and our incredible employees who make this impact possible.

Our Ecosystem

At Nourish, you will contribute to a sophisticated ecosystem that includes:

• Technology that impacts a million people every day: Our core products are used by over 425,000 carers to support 417,000+ individuals
• The Nourish Partnership Programme (NPP): A sector-leading programme that manages strategic integrations with third-party systems to ensure seamless data syncing and interoperability across the care journey.

Our Culture & Values

We look for people who align with the way we work. If you join us, you are joining a culture defined by:

• Making a Difference: We remember who we serve. We are passionate about making a meaningful, positive impact on the lives of carers and those we support
• Agility: We continuously refine and adapt. There is no room for complacency here; we are driven to constantly review and improve our products and processes.
• Collective Effort: We help each other out because we know that when one person wins, we all win. It's "all hands-on deck" - everyone is in it together.
• Every Person Counts: We treat everyone as a very significant part of our community. We welcome people being their true and authentic selves and value the diverse perspectives they bring.
• Openness to Learning: We believe no question is a silly question and all insights are valuable. Mistakes are part of the improvement process; we dust ourselves off and begin again.

The Team & Role

The Empower API team builds the services that power the next generation of care agency management solutions. The team is currently transitioning our platform from a legacy PHP Symfony codebase to a modern Go backend, with linting, static analysis, and automated tests built in from the outset. The team sits within a wider engineering department of around 80, alongside approximately 30 Product and Design colleagues. We run a Dockerised stack deployed via CI into an AWS Kubernetes environment and expect all engineers to take an active interest in deployment and infrastructure. As a Senior Developer, you will bring a broad passion for programming and problem solving, alongside deeper expertise in the languages and frameworks you specialise in and will play a leading role in shaping technical direction and mentoring others through this transition.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintaining, building, and improving the Empower API.

• Leading or contributing to the migration of legacy Symfony functionality to Go.

• Build the new Vue.js front end as part of the migration from the existing Drupal application.

• Working as part of an Agile team to deliver improvements to our software solutions.

• Participating in Agile ceremonies and committing to sprint goals as a team.

• Analysing logs and metrics to understand how we can improve our systems, or guide partners to better utilise our APIs.

• Supporting client facing colleagues to diagnose and solve issues that may arise.

• Mentoring team members through code reviews and knowledge sharing.

Requirements

• Experience: Significant commercial full stack development experience (typically 5+ years).

• Technical/Functional Alignment: Commercial experience with Go and Vue/React plus familiarity with PHP or Symfony to support legacy transition work, commercial familiarity with at least three AWS services, familiarity with Git, Linux command line, and SQL databases, experience working within an Agile team using Scrum or Kanban, unit testing experience, and experience in at least one other language.

• AI-Assisted Development: Experience using AI coding tools in daily development.

• Sector Interest: A genuine interest in the UK social care sector and how technology can improve interoperability.

• Mindset: A pragmatic, collaborative, and warm approach to problem-solving.

Nourish is proud to be an equal opportunities employer and we actively seek and embrace differences in thinking, experience, ethnicity, age, gender, faith, personalities, and styles.
