Spectrum.Life

ABOUT US: Spectrum.Life is a whole-of-health digital partner that guides organisations and their people to thrive, delivering clinically backed digital health, mental health and wellbeing solutions.    Our HealthTech delivers digital transformation for Insurers, Educators and Employers through Co-creation or seamlessly integrated out-of-the-box solutions, that decrease digital fragmentation and engage, empower, and transform their people’s lives.    Established in 2018 by Stuart McGoldrick and Stephen Costello, Spectrum.Life provides services internationally to over 7.2m insurance members, 3,000 corporate clients, 60 universities and 650,000 university students. Spectrum.Life currently employs over 450 people.    Our vision is to change and save as many lives as possible. ROLE BRIEF: Why This Role Matters  Waiting lists for neurodiversity assessments in the UK are long — often years. For autistic people and those with ADHD, that wait is not just frustrating. It affects education, employment, relationships, and mental health.  At Spectrum.Life, we are building a digital-first neurodiversity multi-disciplinary assessment service that is clinically rigorous, neuroaffirmative in its values, and genuinely accessible. We are looking for a Practitioner Psychologist who shares that commitment — someone who brings both the specialist technical competence this work demands and a genuine belief in the difference that timely, high-quality identification can make to a person’s life.  This is a fully remote, multidisciplinary role. You will be part of a team of psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists, and Occupational Therapists, working together to deliver integrated, person-centred assessments for children aged seven and above and adults.    The Neurodiversity Assessment Service  Spectrum.Life’s Neurodiversity Assessment Service delivers high-quality Autism, ADHD, and combined AuDHD identification assessments for children (aged seven and above) and adults, fully remotely via virtual platforms. All assessments are conducted in line with NICE guidelines and within DSM-5 and ICD-11 diagnostic frameworks.  Our approach is neuroaffirmative throughout — from the way we conduct initial consultations to the language we use in our reports and feedback sessions. We work from a strengths-based, person-centred model that respects individual identity and lived experience.  This is a growing service, and you will have the opportunity to contribute directly to its development — including service design, quality improvement, and the way we use digital platforms to make assessments more accessible.    Your Multidisciplinary Team  Neurodiversity assessment is inherently multidisciplinary, and we have built the service to reflect that. You will not be assessing in isolation.  Your MDT includes Practitioner Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists, and Occupational Therapists. Each assessment integrates perspectives across all three disciplines, and integrated formulation is a core part of how we work — not an add-on.    How the MDT works day to day  * Regular MDT formulation meetings where complex and combined presentations are discussed collaboratively across psychology, SLT, and OT * Shared formulation on all assessments — your psychological assessment report is integrated with SLT and OT findings before the final report is produced * A designated Clinical Manager who provides operational oversight and is available for clinical consultation * Monthly individual clinical supervision from a specialist in neurodiversity — provided by an experienced senior clinician with specialist neurodiversityexpertise, not generic CPD supervision * Peer consultation and shared learning across the psychology team * Clear safeguarding and escalation pathways, with governance support for complex or high-risk presentations SCHEDULE: This is a 32-hour per week permanent part-time role. We will discuss and agree your specific working pattern during the offer process — we want to find a schedule that works for you within the needs of the service.  The role is fully remote. All assessments and MDT meetings are conducted virtually. You will need access to a private, confidential workspace and a reliable internet connection.

To support our users and clients, we have a range of industry-expert specialized teams ready to help. Our services include clinical trial patient recruitment, Expanded Access Program management and Real-World Data collection.    With a global footprint spanning 134 countries, to date we’ve supported over 17,000 patients, 3,000 physicians and 350 sites, earning the trust of 60+ BioPharma companies. In October 2025, we closed a €25M investment with Avego Healthcare Capital to fuel our global ambitions and scale the business.   Join us in shaping the future of treatment access - making tomorrow’s therapies accessible for people who need them today.  The opportunity: Backend Engineer As a Backend Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining the platform infrastructure that powers our products. You will work closely with our Frontend Engineers, DevOps Engineers, and other stakeholders to design and build scalable, reliable, and high-performance products. Given that most of our team is located in the Netherlands, we only consider candidates for this position who live within commuting distance to our office in Amsterdam. What you'll do in this role: * Design and implement scalable and reliable backend systems and infrastructure to support our products * Develop and maintain our micro-services to expose platform functionality to internal and external clients * Collaborate with development and quality assurance teams to ensure high availability, scalability, and security of our systems * Collaborate with DevOps Engineers to ensure the continuous delivery and deployment of software products * Work with software developers to identify and implement improvements to our platform architecture and functionality * Develop and maintain documentation of our systems and processes * Mentor and train junior members of the backend team * Keep up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies What you bring to the table: * Proficiency in Python programming language * 3+ years of experience in the related field * Experience with relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle * Experience with the cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP) * Experience with containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes * Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently and as part of a team * Strong communication skills and the ability to work with stakeholders across the organization * Excellent English communication skills  WHAT SUCCESS IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS LOOKS LIKE: * You’ve built trust with Product, Frontend, and DevOps peers and taken clear ownership of 2-3 domain APIs/services, including stewardship of their contracts and SLAs. * You’ve established an API-first workflow: starting from use cases, you propose and socialize OpenAPI specs, align on naming and conventions, then implement in FastAPI with Pydantic models. * You’ve delivered impactful API features end-to-end (design → implementation → tests → docs) that are consumed by internal and external clients without hand-holding. * You’ve raised API robustness: strong request/response validation, consistent error models, pagination and idempotency where appropriate, and backward-compatible versioning enforced via automated contract tests in CI (ruff, Poetry, pre-commit). * You’ve improved the reliability and performance of our service by adding meaningful observability (metrics, logs, tracing) and defining SLIs/SLOs for key endpoints—reducing 5xx rates and improving p95 latency. * You’ve made safe database changes in MySQL with SQLAlchemy migrations, optimized critical queries, and contributed to data access patterns involving DynamoDB or Neo4j while keeping API contracts stable. * You’ve strengthened the security of APIs (authN/authZ boundaries, scoped tokens, least-privilege access, secrets management, rate limiting) and documented the approach. * You’ve written clear API documentation and examples (e.g., snippets/collections), shared knowledge with the team, and mentored junior engineers so others can build on your work. Current tech stack: We are fully cloud-native, leveraging AWS and adopting a Lean, API-first product development approach driven by modern cloud technologies and thoughtful design practices. Our backend applications are built using Python, FastAPI, Pydantic, and SQLAlchemy (MySQL). On the front end, we predominantly develop with Angular and also utilize Headless Wagtail and WordPress for select products. To ensure code quality and a consistent release pipeline, we employ GitHub Actions for CI/CD along with tools like Renovate, ruff, Poetry, and pre-commit. We containerize our applications using Docker and Docker Compose. Currently, we are transitioning from AWS Lambda-based deployments to Kubernetes-managed services and moving from AWS CloudFormation to Terraform for infrastructure as code. We continue to expand our capabilities in knowledge graphs (Neo4j) and database technologies (MySQL, DynamoDB). What we offer: * Impactful work that helps patients gain access to potentially lifesaving treatments.  * International work environment, scale-up energy and a flat organizational structure that encourages creativity and accountability.  * Competitive salary, annual performance bonus and an Employee Stock Option Plan.  * Great career development opportunities in a fast-growing company.   * Learning and development budget alongside internal knowledge sharing sessions.  * Attractive pension plan, full premium covered by myTomorrows.  * Hybrid working model.  * Policies to support working parents.  * Healthy lunch at the thriving Amsterdam office.   * Unlimited access to professional guidance by certified psychologists via OpenUp   * Enjoy monthly events hosted by our vibrant Culture Club as well as an annual ‘myTomorrowland’ company-wide celebration!  Equal opportunities myTomorrows is an Equal Opportunity Employer and, beyond upholding discrimination-free practices, we are committed to cultivating a workplace where difference and diversity are protected and celebrated.
