Taking part in a clinical trial can ask a lot of people, especially as trials become more complex. At Little Journey, we’re building Trial Flow, a participant support platform that makes that experience simpler, clearer and more supportive, helping participants and caregivers around the world feel prepared for what comes next.
We’relooking for an experiencedFullstack Software Engineer who wants to do more than pick up tickets and write code.You’llwork in a small, autonomous product squad where engineers help understand the problem, design the solution, make the trade-offsand own what they build in production.
For us, engineering starts before the code.
We value engineers who take the time to understand the problem, think about the wider system and design the right solution before reaching for an implementation. We value strong fundamentals, curiosity and engineering judgement.
You’llreport to the Engineering Manager within your product squad and be part of our broader engineering team of around 10. This is a full‑time role, either hybrid (Leeds) or fully remote in the UK. We cannot sponsor visas to work in the UK.
Whatyou’lldo
- Shape what we build— work with Product and Design to understand user and business problems, challenge assumptions and help decide what’s worth solving before designing the solution.
- Design and break down complex solutions— think across user journeys, APIs, data, architecture, security, failuremodesand operational impact, make the design visible through diagrams and lightweight technical documentation, then turn it into a clear, staged or phased technical approach.
- Build across the full product stack—mastery offrontend and mobiledevelopment andAPIs,servicesand data models.
- Own what you build— from testing and deployment through to observability, production supportand learning from incidents.
- Raise the bar for the team— review designs and code, share knowledge and help improve our engineering practices.
How we work
We don’t believe great engineering comes from working the longest hours. We believe it comes from building the right things, working together and leaving systems better than we found them.We’rea small team, so trust, ownershipand collaboration matter. Everyone has a voice, everyone contributes, and everyone is expected to help make the team stronger.
We value:
- Make thinking visible: diagrams and design docs aren’t bureaucracy; they’re how we think together, challenge assumptions and make better decisions.
- AI as a partner, not a substitute for judgement: we use AI to accelerate implementation, freeing engineers to spend more time on problem solving, design and the decisions that matter, while keeping accountability human.
- Quality over speed: we move quickly, but not at the expense of reliability, security or maintainability.
- Collaboration over heroics: the best solutions come from engineers, Product and Design solving problems together.
- Autonomy with support: you’ll have the space to make meaningful decisions, with a team there to challenge your thinking, share responsibility and help you succeed.
Why join Little Journey?
We’re a small engineering team tackling meaningful problems in healthcare, where the quality of what we build matters in the real world.You’ll have the opportunity to influence not only how software is built, but what gets built and why.
In a larger engineering organisation, many of these decisions might be spread across multiple teams. Here, you’ll have the breadth and opportunity to influence the product, architecture and engineering practices end to end.
AI is changing both how software gets built and what technology can do.We want to embrace that opportunity — using AI to evolve how we engineer, while exploring how it can help us build better products and experiences for children, families and healthcare teams.
You’ll have the opportunity to see the impact of your work on the children, families and healthcare teams who use it.If you’re an engineer who gets as much satisfaction from figuring out the right thing to build as you do from building it well,we’d love to hear from you.
You’re a full-lifecycle engineer; with the judgement and curiosity to work across the whole journey from problem
