Job Description
GemPool is an IT specialist recruitment agency. Our client is an ambitious, fast-growing health-tech startup on a mission to reshape obesity and weight-loss care. They’re already helping thousands of members across Ireland through a unique, evidence-based approach — combining medical intervention, psychology, dietetics, and health coaching.
Now, they’re scaling up our Product & Engineering team to build the next-generation platform that will transform patient care.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Lead/Senior Fullstack Engineer to join a small but high-impact engineering team. This role isn’t just about coding — it’s about owning their technical direction as they:
- Rebuild their infrastructure and core user interface from the ground up
- Migrate from Angular to a modern Next.js + React Native stack
- Deliver new, impactful features that directly improve patient experience
You’ll have real influence over architecture, design, and technical strategy. As the company grows, this role will naturally evolve into a Leadership position, giving you the chance to build and mentor a team around your vision.
What You’ll Work On
You’ll work across:
- Scalable backend services (Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL)
- Modern front-end apps (React Native, Angular → Next.js migration)
- AWS infrastructure (Terraform, ECS, Docker, CI/CD pipelines)
Your impact will stretch from backend architecture to polished user experiences, ensuring their tech scales as fast as their mission.
What’s Required
- Strong experience with React / React Native
- Node.js with TypeScript expertise
- Knowledge of Next.js, RESTful APIs & relational databases (Postgres)
- Familiarity with AWS cloud services (Lambda, ECS, S3, RDS)
Nice-to-have: Terraform, Storybook, Zustand/Redux, Jest, mentoring experience
Why Join
- Impact – Your work improves healthcare for thousands of people
- Ownership – Influence everything from tooling to product direction
- Growth – Step into a Leadership role as the team scales
- Flexibility – Remote working from Ireland
