We have a bold vision: everyone involved in a patient’s care - including the patient - should be able to communicate with each other, and we believe every NHS staff member should be using our software to make that happen. We want to make healthcare genuinely better.
We are solving one of the biggest challenges of our generation, and to do this, we need the best talent possible to help us raise the bar… this is where you come in.
Our products are used daily (and you will have most certainly received a message from us) by over 98% of GP practices and half of NHS hospitals sending an average of over 25 million messages every month, impacting millions of lives.
As an Engineering Manager, your role will be mission-critical and you will be central to shaping the core communication infrastructure of the NHS. You'll directly enable faster, safer, and more accessible patient care, while also helping teams solve customer problems and leading the team that owns a specific set of capabilities within the Accurx product.
Implementing our AI Scribe across GP practices, hospitals, and other care settings, and ensuring every patient leaves an appointment with a clearly documented summary
Translating our expertise from implementing total triage in GP practices to improve how hospital specialist services deliver care
Powering communication for Integrated Neighbourhood Teams, a new type of service bringing together staff from different organisations that is pivotal to the government’s 10-year plan
We’re looking for Engineering Managers to lead teams that solve real healthcare problems. Engineering Managers at Accurx lead their teams to have a tangible impact on healthcare every day, working on systems that help deliver over a million messages per month to NHS staff and patients.
You’ll be embedded in a cross-functional product team, partnering with a Product Manager and Designer, managing typically up to 10 engineers across back-end, front-end, and full-stack roles.

Guide technical direction: Work with the engineers on your team to make appropriate architectural and system design decisions within your team’s product area. Champion best practices around code quality, monitoring, alerting, and service health.
Lead and grow your team: Manage and mentor your engineers, supporting recruitment, development, performance reviews, promotions, and conflict resolution. Build a culture that is collaborative, high-performing, and focused on delivering impact.
Enable cross-team success: Collaborate with other engineering managers, product managers, and stakeholders to unblock dependencies and ensure alignment across the business.
Balancing product delivery with technical health by representing the team’s decisions, trade-offs, and priorities to non-technical stakeholders.
Driving continuous improvement by using data to monitor delivery flow and proactively addressing obstacles to ensure commitments are met.
Fostering a high-performance culture by providing feedback, growth opportunities, and support to your engineers.
Your product team consistently delivers high-quality features
Engineers feel supported, motivated, and clear on their priorities, and are performing well as individuals and a team
Technical decisions contribute to a reliable, scalable, and secure platform used by millions of NHS staff, especially important as we scale
Delivery plans are transparent, measurable, and aligned to organisational goals.
Fix healthcare communication: Healthcare systems are struggling; our solution is communication - all of our efforts are centred here.
Raise the bar: We have built an exceptional team to solve hard challenges. We hire for expertise and new ideas, maintaining high standards, giving honest feedback, and only delivering work we're proud of.
Be a driver, not a passenger: We make things happen, focus on the right problems, and bring the energy to deliver ambitious goals.
Succeed together: We succeed only as a team. Our mission is too important for anything less, so company success always comes first.
Move with urgency: We’re on a mission, and every day lost is a missed opportunity to improve lives. We work at pace and focus on our mission, our users, and our impact.

Embrace challenge:.We value constructive conflict over harmony, having tough conversations for the best outcome.
