About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

We're looking for engineers to upgrade the patient experience.
The software you experience at the doctor's office is often dated and terrible, but our software can plug into the doctor's legacy system and provide a modern experience: online scheduling, paperless check-in, interactive reminders, automated waitlist, payments, and more.
Patients get a great experience and the practices have less busy-work.
We're just 40 people, but we're the top-rated solution in our space and used by thousands of offices across the country.
As an engineer joining the team, this means greater ownership.
We're looking for high-performing individual contributors capable of leading development of a meaningful slice of the product.
This is a role for full-stack builders, someone capable of delivering best-in-category features.
You’ll be supported by a product manager, a graphic designer, and the co-founders.
You’ll stay in close contact with our account managers and the sales team to ensure new features are living up to their promise. You’ll join the occasional client call to gather feedback and hear about their challenges first-hand.
Health care experience is not needed. We'll teach you what you need to know about how a doctor's office works.
Our tech stack is Python and Postgres on Linux, with AI growing in importance.
