Senior Software Engineer
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.

🎯 Role Overview
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.
🧠 What You’ll Own
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
🛠 Our Stack (today)
- 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.
✅ You’ll thrive here if you…
- 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.
📈 90-Day Outcomes
- 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
💛 What We Offer
- 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
🧪 Process
- Intro with Christopher (CPO)
- Technical deep-dive with Paul (pairing, code review, system design) & Eddy.
- Final conversation with leadership (fit, scope, growth)
👉 Apply now:
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.
