Our vision

To provide universal access to free healthcare education.

Our ambition

FuturU is a new moonshot start-up spun out of Newcross Healthcare Solutions.

The healthcare industry is facing a crisis: there simply aren’t enough skilled professionals to meet the growing demand. At FuturU, we believe that by making healthcare education free and accessible to all, we can help solve this problem and raise the standard of care everywhere.

That’s why we aim to be the world's leading learning platform for healthcare workers and a pioneer in learning technology. We’re creating a learning platform that’s modern, joined up, efficient, reliable and most of all, effective. One that’s accessible to everyone and provides exceptional learning experiences and support.

Our goals

To be the healthcare sector’s learning partner for life, creating the best trained workforce by offering high quality immersive and interactive training via our mobile app and website. Learning and development that’s not only modern, rigorous, and comprehensive – but free at the point of access.

Key Responsibilities

With an initial focus on building our next generation learning platform, both customer facing experiences and internal tooling. As part of an exciting new team, you will help to guide our innovative plans for learning experiences.

• Work closely with other team members to ensure the best quality product.
• Design and develop novel software in areas such as: real-time scene and object tracking, body tracking, key point estimation, depth perception, generative approaches, 3D reconstructions among others
• Contribute to the creation of new prototypes through the application of AI models
• Be a creative voice throughout development, not only guiding the architecture but helping the team grow.
• Build a codebase that can be iterated on during development and is maintainable after release.
• Ensure the best possible performance, quality, and responsiveness of applications.
• Identify bottlenecks and bugs, and devise solutions to address and mitigate these problems.
• Help maintain code quality and ensure good working practices are developed and maintained.

What we need from you

• Have worked with C# and/or Python
• Have some knowledge of generative AI
• Knowledge of computer vision frameworks and libraries such as OpenCV, TensorFlow and PyTorch
• Familiarity with AI based motion tracking (activity recognition models, object detection, tracking, recognition, segmentation and classification)
• Knowledge of image and video processing techniques, including filtering and feature extraction
• You will be able to architect, implement and maintain large applications.
• Strong organisational, prioritising and time management skills within a fast-paced setting
• Self-starter with strong personal drive to achieve results.
• Resilience within a fast-paced environment and can manage impacts in a positive ‘can do’ way.
• Confident and comfortable to work remotely.
• Active team player who builds and maintains professional relationships externally/internally.
• Recognises the need to maintain a professional level of confidentiality.
• Takes responsibility for self-development and actively seeks ways to improve own performance.

What can we offer?

We are a remote team so you can work at a place that suits you. We operate across different timezones so flexibility is built in. We focus on outcomes rather than presenteeism and aim for work/life harmony rather than balance. Kids, cats and dogs often show up on our Google Meet calls and we are fans of walking meetings when you don’t need to be at a screen. Of course we’ll supply you all the IT kit of your choosing. We offer a culture that’s supportive and encourages authenticity with inclusion at the heart of our decision making.

Most importantly, we are united in the mission to provide universal access to free healthcare education and we are unapologetically bold in our aims to transform the sector.
