Heliosx

Frontend Software Engineer II/III

London Full Time

Ready to revolutionize healthcare, making it faster and more accessible than ever before? 

How we started:

Back in 2013, our founder Dwayne D’Souza saw an opportunity to give people faster and more convenient access to medications using technology. We've grown rapidly since our inception, without any external funding whatsoever – achieving profitability through innovation and a highly disciplined approach to growth. 

Where we are now:

We’ve earned the trust of millions of people worldwide through our top-selling products and well-known brands: MedExpress, Dermatica, ZipHealth, RocketRX, and Levity. A lot of our success is down to having our own pharmacies, manufacturers and products – spearheaded by leading in-house medical teams, researchers and pharmacists. Between 2023 and 2024 our global revenue tripled; £60m to £180m (200% year-on-year growth). We're looking to do the same in 2025; move into new territories and further accelerate our growth journey. There’s never been a more exciting time to join HeliosX.

Where we’re going:

Over the next five years, you’ll support our goal to become a world-leading healthcare partner, deepening our customer relationships, expanding into new countries, and diversifying our product portfolio to treat more conditions. You’ll be part of helping more people access prescription treatments and, most importantly, making personalised care better, quicker and easier for everyone. 

Come be a part of making our dream of easier and faster healthcare a reality!

About the role:

We're looking for a Frontend Software Engineer to join our Dermatica team. Dermatica is our personalised skincare brand, delivering clinical-grade treatments directly to customers through a seamless digital experience. You'll be instrumental in building the platform that helps thousands of people achieve healthier skin.

As the second engineer on the Dermatica team, you'll work alongside our Staff Engineer to own the delivery of elegant, responsive user interface features end-to-end. Your frontend expertise will be crucial in elevating our customer experience.

This is a high-impact role in a small, focused team where your work will directly influence Dermatica's growth and customer satisfaction. You'll have the autonomy to make technical decisions, the opportunity to shape our frontend architecture, and the satisfaction of seeing your code improve real people's lives every day.

What you'll be doing:

  • Design and build engaging, responsive web interfaces using TypeScript, React, and modern frontend technologies
  • Collaborate closely with Growth, Product and Design to translate requirements into exceptional user experiences
  • Own front-end feature delivery
  • Contribute to our guilds, sharing knowledge and shaping practices across HeliosX
  • Write clean, maintainable code with appropriate test coverage
  • Participate in code reviews, providing thoughtful feedback to maintain high quality standards
  • Continuously improve our products based on user feedback, data, and your understanding of the skincare domain

Who you are:

  • You have 3+ years of experience building modern web applications with TypeScript and React
  • You have strong fundamentals in HTML5 and CSS3, with an eye for responsive, accessible design
  • You're passionate about creating great user experiences
  • You thrive in small, autonomous teams where you can take ownership and make an impact
  • You're a strong communicator who collaborates effectively with Product, Design, and Clinical teams
  • You care about code quality, but you're pragmatic and know when to ship versus when to perfect
  • You're customer-focused and motivated by building products that genuinely help people

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Vue.js or other modern frontend frameworks
  • Familiarity with design systems and component libraries (Pebble, Radix UI, Storybook)
  • Experience with Tailwind CSS or other utility-first CSS frameworks
  • Knowledge of Next.js or other React meta-frameworks
  • Previous experience in healthcare, telehealth, or DTC eCommerce
  • Understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG)
  • Experience working in high-growth startups
