Remote work Fair compensation based on skills, experience, and location Ownership of important backend systems Work on software used in real healthcare workflows Modern AI-native development workflow Room to grow with the company Why? Caregivers spend too much time on documentation, coordination, and administrative work. We build technology that reduces this burden. Reliable backend systems are the foundation for everything we build. If our integrations, databases, and APIs work well, our product can create real value for care teams. If you want to work on complex backend systems with real-world impact, move fast, use AI tools every day, and take real ownership, we would like to hear from you.
