About the Role
About Us
Forsyth Barnes have partnered with a fast-growing Nottingham-based eCommerce healthcare business built on a simple idea: healthcare should feel personal, accessible, and human.
They combine online consultations with discreet home delivery and clinician-led support, helping over 100,000 patients across the UK.
As the business scales, they are now strengthening their engineering function to improve how their core platform is built, extended, and evolved.
Job Description
This is a hands-on senior engineering role focused on building, improving, and extending the core platform.
You will work closely with the founders and take ownership of key areas of the product from WordPress/WooCommerce development through to custom integrations, APIs, and performance optimisation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is not a DevOps or infrastructure-led role.
It is a product engineering role with leadership responsibility.

- Build and maintain WordPress / WooCommerce-based eCommerce systems
- Develop custom plugins, themes, and backend functionality (PHP)
