Senior Software Engineer

Help us build the most loved digital healthcare experience in Europe.

At haelsi, we’re reimagining healthcare: modern, human, and digital.

3 locations, 100+ clinicians, ~30k visits/year — scaling a phygital model (centers + telehealth + digital care programs).

Ambition: reach 1M people in Europe this decade.

We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer (Product) who ships fast, thinks in systems, and uses AI to move 10x quicker — without losing sight of the human on the other side.

You’ll complement Paul (Tech Lead): he owns technical direction & architecture; you own shipping impactful features across our portal, booking, care programs & growth funnels. Less ceremony, more outcomes.

You’ll:

• Build pragmatic, scalable services (Laravel, Vue/Nuxt, Postgres)
• Automate everything (LLMs/agents, jobs, pipelines) to remove manual work
• Keep the lights on (CI/CD, monitoring) without drowning in DevOps (still necessary :) )
• Further develop and refine A/B tests & Analytics data pipelines
• Bias to action: love for customers > love for your code

👉 No ivory-tower engineering. We test live, iterate, and improve.

1) Product Engineering & Delivery

• Turn clear problems into shipped features (fast).
• Build/extend services & UIs for booking, patient portal, digital programs.
• Write maintainable code, but optimize for learning speeds, not academic purity.

2) AI & Automation for Speed

• Use LLMs/agents to scaffold code, create tests, migrations, docs.
• Automate ops & admin flows (content ops, data sync, internal tooling).
• Prototype rapidly (code + “vibe-code” where it makes us faster).

3) Reliability & Tooling (lightweight DevOps)

• Own CI/CD (GitHub Actions), basic infra (Docker, Hetzner/AWS), observability.
• Keep environments healthy; reduce toil with scripts & bots.

4) Collaboration

• Pair tightly with Paul (architecture), Eddy (Product Experience) and Christopher (CPO)
• Work cross-functionally with Marketing/Operations; speak human, not jargon.
• Review PRs with taste: coach for clarity & performance.
• Partner with Product team to ensure (promote) polished UX

• Backend: Laravel (PHP), queues, Redis
• Frontend: Vue/Nuxt
• DB: PostgreSQL
• Infra/DevOps: Docker, GitHub Actions, Hetzner
• Analytics/A/B: (you help us level this up)
• PMS integration: APIs around our patient management system

If you’re strong in adjacent tech, we’re flexible. Pragmatism > purity.

• Have 5–8+ years building production web products (ideally in startups/scaleups)
• Ship fast with high signal-to-noise (you know where quality matters)
• Actively use LLMs to accelerate coding, tests, docs, and data chores
• Proficient in Laravel + Vue/Nuxt + SQL (or a fast learner)
• Understand CI/CD & containers; can keep systems reliable without over-engineering
• Communicate clearly, push back respectfully, and own outcomes
• Care about patients & clinicians more than perfect abstractions

Nice to have: experience with growth tooling, A/B testing at scale, accessibility, basic security hardening, healthcare/regulated environments.

• Ship 2–3 meaningful features (portal/booking/programs) that move KPIs
• Replace at least one manual process with an AI-powered automation
• Improve build pipeline speed & reliability; add basic observability where missing
• Earn trust as Paul’s go-to shipping partner and Eddy’s product counterpart

• Real ownership that goes beyond tickets and code, chance to shape product experience at scale
• Top gear, hybrid setup (3 days Vienna office, 2 remote)
• 30 vacation days, no weekends
• Free haelsi membership (incl. family)
• Competitive compensation: well above the collective agreement (€2,806.20 gross/month). Salary tailored to experience, plus participation in our Phantom Share Program.
• Fast decisions, low politics, high trust

1. Intro with Christopher (CPO)
2. Technical deep-dive with Paul (pairing, code review, system design) & Eddy.
3. Final conversation with leadership (fit, scope, growth)

Send LinkedIn/GitHub + 1–2 shipped projects you’re proud of (what you built, why it mattered, impact).

No BS, no polished CVs. Show us speed, craft, and outcomes.
