Initiative - An ability and passion for learning and asking questions. We will champion you, challenge you and push you to achieve your best - and we expect you to do the same.

Integrity - Integrity creates trust. As both an organization collectively and as individuals, it is our most valuable asset.
NHS prescriptions are complicated. And we want to change that. Driven by an innovative spirit and strong moral compass, weāre on a mission to make NHS prescriptions simple for everyone.
Since 2015 weāve grown from a plucky start-up to a team of over 200 people ā and become the fastest growing pharmacy in the UK. Today, over half a million people use our apps to manage their NHS prescriptions, and our patients rate us as āExcellentā on Trustpilot.
But thereās so much more to do. Because while 1 in 2 adults in the UK has a repeat prescription, only 3.2% of them use an online pharmacy. And we need bright minds to help us change how people manage their medicine for good.
True to our start-up roots, LloydsDirect has a supportive, entrepreneurial culture. We move fast, challenge the status quo, and always try to do the right thing. Sound good? Then weād love to hear from you.

- Contribute to code shared across projects
- Mentor other engineers through code reviews and pairing
This role is for you if
Youāre excited by the idea of working on a product that helps make peopleās lives better
The technology we use sounds interesting to you (or you already know and love it)
Reading a 1500 page document on the Zebra programming language sounds like a fun afternoon
You like being able to dip in and out of different parts of the stack wherever you are most needed and are keen to get stuck into and learn about the parts you donāt know yet
You love mentoring other engineers and believe that doing it is at least as valuable as your work as an individual contributor
This role may not be for you if
Youāre more into quibbling about tech stacks or coding styles (we have linters for that) than creating a really great product
You measure your success by lines of code written over the impact it has
You only want to work off fully specified requirements and to not have to talk with your team mates

We democratise microscopy at 10 nm resolution where individual molecules in single cells become visible. To be useful, technology must be easy to use, so we automate every step of the workflow through microfluidics, AI and data analysis on the cloud. We are proud of our products enabling our customers to detect viruses, invent drugs, and fight cancer. Since spinning out from the University of Oxford in 2016, ONIās mission has attracted a passionate and diverse team from over 30 countries.
