Agentic Software Engineer

Our client is a UK-based organisation operating in the medtech industry, with a team of around 200 people. They design and manufacture bespoke solutions that improve patients’ quality of life.

They are investing significantly in technology and automation to support their next phase of growth. A key initiative is the development of a new digital platform that connects prescription workflows, manufacturing processes, and patient outcomes into a single integrated system.



The role

This is a hands-on lead role suited to someone who works agentically- using AI systems to plan, scaffold, and deliver complex development tasks, while applying strong engineering judgement to review and refine outputs.

As the first dedicated developer on this platform, you will work closely with senior leadership from initial concept through to production delivery, playing a central role in shaping both the system and the future team.

Our client is looking for someone entrepreneurial and highly proactive, who is comfortable engaging directly with clinicians and operational teams to understand real-world problems before building solutions.



Key responsibilities:

  • Direct AI coding agents across complex, multi-step development tasks, structuring context and taking full ownership of outputs
  • Translate requirements, user journeys, and wireframes into working software
  • Develop across the full stack: front-end interfaces, APIs, data models, and integrations
  • Contribute to architectural decisions (data models, authentication, hosting, security) using senior-level judgement
  • Maintain strong version control and deployment practices (Git, branching, code review, CI/CD)
  • Work closely with clinical, operational, and manufacturing teams to inform product development
  • Support the growth and shaping of the technical team over time


Planned technology stack:

  • Front-end: React + TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui
  • Mobile: Capacitor (shared codebase across web and mobile)
  • Offline capability: Progressive Web App (PWA)
  • Backend: Node.js with a single API and multiple front-end clients
  • Database: PostgreSQL
  • Hosting: AWS or Azure with infrastructure-as-code
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions with per-PR environments
  • Deployment: Docker-based containerisation
  • Authentication: Auth0 or Clerk (TBC)


What our client is looking for:

  • Strong full-stack development experience (React, TypeScript, Node.js)
  • Experience designing REST APIs and working with relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL)
  • Practical cloud experience (AWS or Azure), including deployment and CI/CD pipelines
  • Proven ability to work in an agentic way with AI development tools — structuring problems and critically evaluating outputs
  • Strong understanding of authentication, authorisation, data modelling, security, and edge cases
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • A self-driven, entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable working autonomously within a small, high-impact team


What’s on offer:

  • Scope to shape a growing platform and team
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Company pension scheme
  • Flexible hybrid working
  • Budget for AI tooling and productivity tools

  • Projects delivered using AI-assisted development workflows
  • Tools you use regularly
  • How your development approach has evolved alongside AI advancements

Where to Advertise Medical Technology Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise medical technology jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and MDR/IEC 62304-aware channels that reach biomedical and medtech talent. The medtech candidate pool spans biomedical engineers, regulatory affairs specialists, clinical scientists, software engineers working within IEC 62304 and MDR frameworks, imaging scientists and commercial professionals with deep healthcare sector knowledge. General job boards consistently conflate medical technology with broader healthcare, pharmaceutical and IT roles — producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist medtech positions. This guide, published by MedicalTechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise medical technology roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Medical Technology Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Medical Technology Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK medtech hiring over the next three years — devices, diagnostics and digital health. Medical technology is one of those rare sectors where commercial ambition and genuine human impact point in exactly the same direction. The devices, diagnostics, digital health platforms, and AI-powered clinical tools that medical technology companies develop do not just generate revenue — they extend lives, reduce suffering, and change what is possible inside the clinical encounter. That combination of purpose and commercial scale makes the medical technology jobs market one of the most compelling in the entire UK life sciences and technology landscape. And that market is changing faster than at any previous point in the sector's history. The integration of artificial intelligence into diagnostic imaging, pathology, and clinical decision support has moved from research demonstration to regulatory approval and NHS deployment. Wearable and implantable devices are generating continuous patient data at a scale that is transforming how chronic conditions are monitored and managed. Digital therapeutics — software that delivers clinically validated therapeutic interventions — have emerged as a recognised product category with its own regulatory pathway. Surgical robotics has moved from a premium offering at a handful of specialist centres to a mainstream surgical platform whose capabilities are expanding with each generation. For job seekers, the medical technology jobs market of 2026 represents an opportunity that is both broader and more technically demanding than it was three years ago. The roles being created now span a wider range of disciplines, require a more sophisticated understanding of the intersection between technology and clinical practice, and carry higher regulatory expectations than the medtech jobs of even a short time ago. This article breaks down what the UK medical technology jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve in one of the most consequential sectors in the UK economy.
