We are focused on building the digital home for doctors - a free, physicians-only community to connect, share knowledge, and shape the future of medicine.
We are backed by amazing venture investors including FirstMark Capital, Forerunner Ventures, Sequoia Capital, TMV, and SV Angel.
Work with our CTO and engineering lead on overall application architecture. We use PostgreSQL, Python (Django Rest Framework), and the Google Cloud Platform (specifically, Google Cloud Run) to bring our application to life. So far, we’ve built a search engine and an AI agent within a deeply empathetic app that “understands” what our caregivers and patients are going through. You’re going to help us scale that, and make it even better. We’re also building tools for medical professionals to answer commonly asked questions.
Boundless Curiosity
You love to learn. You have a thirst for knowledge and constantly seek to expand your understanding of the world. Your curiosity spans a wide range of topics, with a special passion for all things at the intersection of healthcare and technology.
Genuine Care
You bring authentic care to everything you do, valuing each individual’s unique journey. You understand the profound impact that empathy and thoughtful attention can have on people’s lives.
Joyful Excellence
Striving for excellence in your craft fuels you. You hold a high bar for yourself and what you work on but do so in a way that inspires others and brings joy to the process.
Original Thinking
You dig beneath the surface, setting aside trendy thinking to arrive at insights and perspectives rooted in first principles. Your approach brings new, creative perspectives to solving problems.
Leadership in software architecture. You write and think clearly, and understand that thinking is writing. Your architecture docs will be normative for what we build, whether it’s a collection of asynchronous worker threads or dynamic real time application surfaces. Performance and scale matter to you, and you’ll help us achieve both.
Strong coding skills. You'll be a lead engineer on our team. You get that there’s something beautiful about clean readable code. You know exactly when to **args*
and when to ***kwargs*
when defining new constructs; a good with
makes you smile; you’ll yield
when iterators bubble over. We use Python in case you were wondering, but if you’re less familiar, you’ll just pick it up.
Experience with the Django framework or similar. We use models and views on top of PostgresQL, with technologies such as Redis, PubSub, Celery, and Pinecone. You’ve seen this before in equivalent frameworks.
