Florence Marketplace

A marketplace matching nurses and care staff to shifts. Built as first engineer.

Overview

Florence connects nurses and care staff directly with care homes and hospitals, cutting the traditional agency out of the middle. I was the first engineer, and built the marketplace that the business ran on as it grew to Series B.

What I built

  • The core booking loop: care homes post shifts, staff find and claim them, both sides get paid.
  • Compliance and document checks, so only qualified staff can take a given shift.
  • Payments, invoicing and payroll flows for both sides of the marketplace.
  • The foundations the later products, including Florence Academy, were built on top of.
