Full Stack Engineer

The Opportunity

We're looking for a full-stack engineer to join the team building Propel Health AI's core product. You'll work across the entire stack, from React frontend to Python backends, cloud infrastructure, and data ingestion pipelines, and be expected to build whatever the product needs, rather than staying in a single lane.

You will be involved across the full development lifecycle, from technical design and documentation through to development, testing, and deployment, building robust, observable, and scalable applications on cloud infrastructure.

This is a hybrid role based in Brisbane, working core AEST business hours. You will collaborate closely with our product manager, project manager, business analysts, and other engineers to build intuitive and impactful features in our platform.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and ship features across the full stack, including a React frontend, multiple Python backends, and infrastructure-as-code
• Build and maintain data ingestion pipelines using GCP Workflows, Cloud Functions, and BigQuery to handle complex real-world healthcare datasets
• Manage and improve CI/CD pipelines to keep our deployment process fast and reliable
• Collaborate closely with our product manager to scope and deliver features
• Produce and maintain accurate, detailed technical documentation and communicate it effectively across the team

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• 5+ years of experience building and shipping full-stack applications
• Comfortable working across the entire stack without specialising in a single area
• Strong technical communication skills

Desired:

• Experience with some or all of our tech stack (Next.js, FastAPI)
• Experience with GCP or AWS, GCP preferred
• Comfortable with Git and conducting meaningful and productive pull requests and code reviews
• Experience working in agile environments
• Experience working in a startup or scale-up environment
• Exposure to healthcare data, FHIR, or regulated data environments
• Based in Southeast QLD

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Next.js, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: FastAPI, SQLAlchemy
• Infrastructure: Terraform, Terragrunt
• Cloud: GCP (Cloud Run, Spanner, CloudSQL, Workflows, Cloud Functions, BigQuery)

Benefits

• Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP), so you share directly in the long-term success and growth of the company
• Hybrid working model, with a minimum of two days per week in our Brisbane office
• Meaningful ownership and impact in a well-funded startup entering its scale-up phase, with the opportunity to help shape our core platform from the ground up
• Clear opportunities for professional growth and progression in a fast-moving startup, with the chance to deepen ownership as the business scales

About Propel Health AI

Propel Health AI is an end-to-end healthcare data and AI platform. We help hospitals, research institutions, and life sciences organisations, including CROs, biotech and pharmaceutical companies, and medical device manufacturers, ingest, harmonise, and govern complex real-world patient data, and put it to work through AI tools for clinical research, population health analytics, and clinical decision support.

We're in scale-up mode, which means the problems are interesting, the team is small, and the work you ship has a direct impact on how healthcare organisations use data to improve patient outcomes.

Application Process

• Initial 30-minute conversation to discuss the role, your experience, and what you’re looking for
• Technical assessment and/or interview
• Cultural interview
