Healthcare is usually slow and boring. We believe in its potential to be exciting and entertaining. But changing the healthcare experience is hard – and we’re gonna need all the help we can get…!

About Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus (or 'Euc' for short) is an Australian founded digital healthcare company that is on a mission to solve the world’s biggest healthcare challenges - think fertility, and behavioural change around chronic conditions such as weight loss, diabetes, and mental health.

Founded in Australia in 2019, we have now helped over 500K patients globally by combining technology, design and operational excellence to help patients access the best clinical support when they need it - wherever they are.

Our 5 clinics (Juniper, Pilot, Kin, Software, & Compound) focus heavily on personalising the experience for different demographics and are powered by a growing team across 5 countries (Australia, UK, Germany, Japan, and the Philippines).

We’ve raised over AUD$160M in funding from Aussie and Silicon Valley investors who were early backers of Uber, Canva and AirBnb. With plans to launch into several more markets, offline channels, and tackle new conditions.

We’re looking to continue building our team of great engineers who are passionate about healthcare, aren’t afraid to work hard, and invest in others through direct and honest feedback. This approach enables us to make the most impactful changes to improve the health of millions of patients globally.

Why you should join Engineering at Euc

• We’re on a quest to build a robust, scalable, configurable, multi-brand platform (that’s also enjoyable to work on!) on which we can solve the world’s biggest healthcare challenges, and you can be a pivotal player in that journey.
  • We’re a lean 20 person engineering team, so you can have genuine input on what we build and how we build it
• We have a high performance culture
  • We have a high bar for talent, so you’ll get to learn from some of the best engineers in the industry
  • We write as many low quality memes as we do high quality PRs
  • We optimise for velocity and deploy to production hundreds of times a month. Once you merge your code, it’s in prod in minutes
• You’ll get to work with a modern tech stack that we’re always improving. If something isn’t working for us, we’ll iterate until we get it right and everyone on the team is encouraged to help refine it.
  • Frontend: React, React Native + Expo, TypeScript, Apollo, Tailwind
  • Backend: Node (TypeScript) and Go microservices, Federated GraphQL, gRPC, Protobufs, Pub/Sub and Postgres, hosted on GCP Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
• You’ll work on interesting engineering challenges:
  • Euc has a large appetite for product development, so we have a roadmap of innovative, greenfield features to work on
  • We've been running microservices smoothly in production for a few years, but there is still a lot of complex business logic in our legacy mono-repo to understand, break down, improve and port across.
  • We strive for efficiency and invest heavily in internal tooling to improve developer experience
• We’ll invest in your growth, development and career
  • When we introduced Go microservices we invested in upskilling the whole team in a new language
  • No matter which direction you want to take your career, we’ll provide opportunities for you
  • Every engineer has a yearly Learning and Development budget that they can use for courses, books, conferences, anything to help you learn.
