Our Engineering team sits at the heart of that mission. We’re a ~40 distributed team across the UK and EU, who thrive on solving complex challenges together. We bring a wide mix of skills — from front-end, back-end, full-stack, and mobile engineering to machine learning, data science, and analytics — to build the experiences that guide our members through their health journey. We’re proud of the diversity in our team: 39% female and 61% male, with colleagues from many different backgrounds, cultures, and lived experiences. We believe this diversity makes us stronger, more creative, and better equipped to serve our global community. Collaboration is core to how we work. Engineers at ZOE partner closely with data scientists and analysts, product managers, and product designers to bring new ideas to life. Depending on the project, we also work hand-in-hand with marketing, finance, legal, and other teams, making our work highly cross-functional and impactful. Above all, we value curiosity, openness, and empowerment. We encourage everyone to share ideas, learn continuously, and shape how we work — whether it’s through experimenting with new technology, improving our ways of working, or finding better ways to support our members. 🚀 About the role We’re looking for a Full-Stack Engineer (Front-End Focused) to help us build world-class digital experiences. While ZOE maintains a full-stack environment, this specific role is designed for someone who is passionate about crafting seamless, performant, responsive and beautiful user interfaces across web and mobile.

Engineering Excellence: Writing clean, testable code and contributing to our shared component libraries and design systems. Rapid Iteration: Shipping to production regularly (ideally daily) and using data/feedback to refine the user journey.

Have Working Knowledge of a backend language (like Python, Kotlin, or Java) and feel comfortable navigating an API or database schema. Are a Pragmatic Engineer—you favour simple, maintainable solutions over "clever" over-engineering. Thrive in Collaborative Environments and enjoy the "why" behind a product feature just as much as the "how." ✨ Our Hiring Journey We value your time as much as our own.
