👋 About Suvera:

Suvera is a digital health start-up on a mission to keep people in good health wherever they are in the world. We partner with general practices in the UK to deliver a virtual clinic that proactively supports the management of patients with long-term conditions. We’ve grown 10x over 2023 and now manage over 100,000 patients. We are planning further growth by more than 5x by the end of 2024. We have merely scratched the surface for what we can do for both clinical operations and chronic care pathways.

We have a team of phenomenal advisors, including Professor Bryan Williams who is the chair of Medicine at UCL and the man behind high blood pressure guidelines for the UK. We are a small (c. 60 people) cross-functional team from all backgrounds, and have our our own internal Care Team which employs both clinicians and care advisors.

We are backed by Google for Startups and the preeminent, global healthcare and technology venture capital firm Morningside Ventures, led by Dr. Gerald Chan. We have ambitions to become the largest healthcare provider in the world.

👋 About our tech team

Our tech team aims to create seamless technology that improves patient experience and empowers our in-house clinical team.

We use TypeScript across our stack (React & Node.js) and declare our infrastructure as code. Using CI/CD we automate deployment onto Serverless architecture. We have robust monitoring, logging and reporting using AWS Cloudwatch and Sentry, and we collaborate using Git, Slack and Notion.

We have a bespoke data pipeline to ingest clinical data from GP practice Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to our MongoDB database. Our data and analytics stack currently relies on Fivetran, dbt, Snowflake, Hightouch, Tableau and Mixpanel to enable data driven decisions across the business.

We are very aware that the products we build are relied on to provide care and that our data is highly sensitive and keep security and stability at the core of everything we build.

At the moment, the tech team has people who identify as LGBTQ+, working parents, and is racially and ethnically diverse across three continents (Africa, Asia and Europe) & 7 nationalities and counting!

• Collaborate with the engineering and data analytics teams to improve our data infrastructure
• Guide and implement architectural improvements to our data infrastructure to support our rapidly growing team and the scale of our service

• Evolve our CI/CD strategy across the data and analytics stacks to improve reliability and stability with a focus on automation and testing
• Advise on data modelling decisions to ensure our schemas in both runtime and analytical workloads are efficient and scalable
• Work in cross functional teams with product, design, engineering and clinicians to achieve a common goal
