Junior Software Engineer

Reporting To: Engineering Manager

Location: Remote or Hybrid - must be able to come to the Bournemouth once a month.

Job Type: Full Time 37.5 hours a week

Our Purpose: A Better Life for Everyone

Nourish is not simply a technology company; we are a digital partner for the social and health care sector rooted in human connections, with the person being supported at its core. We offer a range of co-produced software solutions tailored to the unique challenges of care, while still being flexible enough to meet the specific needs of each individual service we work with.

We are at an exciting stage of growth. While we are the market leader, we remain ambitious and dedicated to our mission. We continue to revolutionise the sector by investing in our platform and our incredible employees who make this impact possible.

Our Ecosystem

At Nourish, you will contribute to a sophisticated ecosystem that includes:

Technology that impacts a million people every day: Our core products are used by over 425,000 carers to support 417,000+ individuals

The Nourish Partnership Programme (NPP): A sector-leading programme that manages strategic integrations with third-party systems to ensure seamless data syncing and interoperability across the care journey.

Our Culture & Values

We look for people who align with the way we work. If you join us, you are joining a culture defined by:

Making a Difference: We remember who we serve. We are passionate about making a meaningful, positive impact on the lives of carers and those we support

Agility: We continuously refine and adapt. There is no room for complacency here; we are driven to constantly review and improve our products and processes.

Collective Effort: We help each other out because we know that when one person wins, we all win. It’s "all hands-on deck" - everyone is in it together.

Every Person Counts: We treat everyone as a very significant part of our community. We welcome people being their true and authentic selves and value the diverse perspectives they bring.

Openness to Learning: We believe no question is a silly question and all insights are valuable. Mistakes are part of the improvement process; we dust ourselves off and begin again.

The Team & Role

You will join a full stack engineering team working in an Agile Scrum environment, delivering incrementally in sprints and taking part in sprint planning, stand ups and retrospectives together. Our stack spans MySQL and PostgreSQL for our databases, Ruby on Rails and Symfony on the backend, Vue.js on the web frontend and React Native for mobile, all managed through Git and GitHub. Our systems handle thousands of requests per minute across databases holding hundreds of millions of records, so scalability sits at the heart of how we design and build. This is a junior level opportunity: whether you have a computer science or related background, or you are a self-taught coder with strong programming knowledge, we are more interested in your grounding in object-oriented development and your appetite to learn than in years of industry experience.

You will be joining the Wellbeing team specifically. Within 3 months, we would expect you to have the capacity to contribute to the Wellbeing stack, the Better Care API, the Wellbeing Backend, and parts of the Wellbeing mobile app, working comfortably with JavaScript, TypeScript and Ruby (Ruby on Rails). Within 6 months, you would be contributing to the wider application stack individually, giving reasonably precise estimates, and well embedded into the Wellbeing team: taking part in planning discussions, giving informative code reviews to peers, and learning our deployment procedure.

Key Responsibilities

Contribute across the stack, from database to backend to frontend, as part of a full stack engineering team.

Take part in pair programming, code reviews and automated testing as standard parts of the development process.

Design and build with scalability in mind, working on systems that serve thousands of requests per minute against databases with hundreds of millions of records.

Work with both established and new technologies, languages and frameworks as the product and platform evolve, and grow into a well-rounded developer along the way.

Requirements

Experience: A portfolio across object-oriented languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP and Ruby are all great, and Java, C++, Rust or Go work just as well. Little or no industry experience is fine, this is a genuine opportunity to build it.

Technical/Functional Alignment: A Computer Science or adjacent degree (Maths, Physics and Electrical Engineering all count), or relevant experience in place of one. A good understanding of what the software engineering discipline looks like day to day, and a solid grounding in object-oriented development.

Sector Interest: A genuine curiosity toward computer technology, ideally backed by personal projects or things you have built for yourself. Tinkerers are exactly who we are looking for.

Mindset: A genuine willingness to learn, paired with a collaborative approach to problem solving.

What High Performance Looks Like

Always visible and collaborative.

Uses appropriate language in code reviews and is willing to engage personally.

Asks questions whenever in doubt, or when they find something, they do not know.

Warns about risks, and signals honestly if things are not going to plan.

Nourish Benefits

Annual Leave: 25 days basic + Public Holidays + an extra day for your Birthday.

Service-Related Leave: 1 extra day for each completed year of service (up to 5 additional days).

Health & Wellbeing: Private Medical Insurance (including a personal health fund), Health & Wellbeing platform with 24/7 GP access, and an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).

Family & Security: Enhanced Maternity Leave, Group Life Assurance, and Pension Contribution.

Growth & Connection: Regular career reviews, Referral Bonus schemes, and social events throughout the year.

All positions at Nourish are subject to a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, references, and receipt of appropriate Right to Work documents.

Nourish is proud to be an equal opportunities employer and we actively seek and embrace differences in thinking, experience, ethnicity, age, gender, faith, personalities, and styles.
