Job Description

Unmind is the leading workplace wellbeing platform, on a mission to create mentally healthy workplaces where employees can flourish.

Grounded in science and built for enterprise, we drive people-first performance at some of the world’s biggest brands, including Uber, Major League Baseball, NHS, Disney, Standard Chartered, Mediacom and British Airways.

Our services support the whole organisation with data-driven performance insights for leaders, training for managers, wellbeing tools for all employees, as well as access to a global network of accredited mental health practitioners.

Our internal standards are as high as those of our clients. We’re an ambitious VC backed software business on the exhilarating 10-100M phase of our growth journey. It’s hard and rewarding work and we’re determined to be our very best case study along the way.

Unmind believe high performance will hinge on the powerful harmony between our relentless drive for results and creating an environment that elevates our people's wellbeing. This wouldn’t be possible without a dedication to our core values:

  • Be Human
  • Grow Your Mind
  • Innovate at Speed
  • Inspire & Impact

To learn more about what these values mean to us, please visit our careers page.

Our DEI commitment

We strive to build a workplace that celebrates our differences, where every Unminder feels included, equal, seen and heard. This is true regardless of your age, race, gender identity, religion or belief, marital or parental status, disability, neurodiversity, or sexual orientation.

We’re proud of our culture, but not smug. So if there’s anything we can do to make the hiring process more accessible, just let us know when you apply, or email talent@unmind.com.

The Role – Software Engineer

We are looking for a Software Engineer, to join our Platform Foundations team.

This is an incredible opportunity to be part of an engineering team that is transforming mental wellbeing in the workplace. In the Platform Foundations team, we enable and empower the wider engineering teams to develop product functionality, removing blockers and bottlenecks.

In this role, you will:

  • Shape the priorities of the Platform Foundations team and our technical solutions, in collaboration with the team's Senior Engineers, Engineering Manager, and our VP of Engineering
  • Improve system performance and reduce our maintenance overheads by simplifying our codebases and systems
  • Drive improvements in the Engineering Team's efficiency by reducing manual overheads and automating repetitive tasks.
  • Support and develop tooling, and the technical systems behind them, to ensure our Engineering team has reliable monitoring, alerting, and testing
  • Engage in wider engineering discussions, sharing feedback and ideas that enhance our developer experience

Skills and Experience

We encourage you to remove education from your CV upon application as qualifications are not a driving factor in our decision making and we are committed to tackling educational inequality. We firmly believe that no one is the finished article and that there should be learning in every role you do. However, the following qualities are important for this position

  • Experience with a mixture of both frontend and backend technologies, such as React, TypeScript and GraphQL, NodeJS, with a leaning towards backend
  • A willingness to learn and expand your technical skills in other parts of our stack (AWS, Golang, Python)
  • Experience creating impactful user-centric solutions, balancing robust, maintainable code with the agility required for timely delivery
  • Embrace product mindset as a Platform Foundations Engineer: you are eager to learn about the needs of your user (Engineers) and adept at finding solutions for them
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity (we’re a startup after all) - you remain open-minded despite uncertainty and view change as an exciting opportunity to learn and grow
