About the Role
We're interested in running AI experiments that
actually
come
to life.
To drive this,
w
e
are looking for
a developer who can take a
proof of
concept,
figure out how to
build it properly
and safely
,
deploy it into our cloud environment
and
watch it make a real difference.
As an
Emerging Technology Developer
,
you'll
be hands-on across the stack designing, building, testing and shipping solutions that improve member experiences and health outcomes, and help carry HBF's innovation agenda forward.
You'll
turn strategic ideas into scalable, working software, and
you'll
be one of the people showing the rest of the organisation
what's
genuinely possible with AI and emerging tech.
You'll
work alongside the Head of Emerging Technology and senior developers, plug into our AI Centre of Excellence, and partner with our Change Engine squads to push new concepts into
reality
on a regular cadence.
Expect to experiment, build proofs of concept, learn fast, and be honest about what works.
This is a role for a builder who cares about the craft
and
the outcome
, and
someone who wants their code to matter from day one.
What
You'll
Do
Build and ship.
Develop,
test
and deploy innovative solutions that align with our vision to create a healthier tomorrow taking
proof of
concepts through experimentation to practical, scalable
implementations

and prioritise the AI and digital-health use cases worth
pursuing and
contribute to the architecture that supports them.
Do it responsibly.
Build AI-powered solutions with real attention to ethical use, data
privacy
and model performance, working within HBF's policies, AI
guidelines
and best practices.
In health, getting this right
isn't
optional
,
it's
the point.
Collaborate widely.
Partner with cross-functional
teams'
testers, architects, business analysts and
various
squads to translate requirements into solutions, troubleshoot, and continuously improve how we build.

showcasing
what AI and emerging tech can do for your colleagues.

permanent, full-time
basis.
About You
You're a sharp, curious problem-solver who enjoys
getting to the bottom of
how things work and finding better ways to do them.
You
don't
need to be a developer – what matters is strong critical thinking, solid business understanding, and the confidence to use practical AI tools to make an impact.
You're
comfortable working independently within transparent guardrails, and you bring people along with you through change.
Ideally, you will have:
A tertiary qualification in Computer Science or a related discipline.
3+ years in software development ideally in healthcare, insurance or technology.




Strong critical thinking and process analysis skills, with the ability to frame ambiguous problems and design better ways of working.
Proficiency across .

Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and AI, LLMs, generative and agentic AI.
Familiarity with agile methodologies and design thinking.
The ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences and to work well inside cross-functional teams delivering innovation projects.
A knack for devising solutions from limited information, weighing multiple perspectives and thinking about future implications.
Optionally: previous experience in a development or innovation team; modern web/mobile frameworks (e.g. React), Salesforce (Apex) or other languages such as Python, Rust, Go or Java; and experience designing, building and implementing solutions in AWS or Azure.
