Job Description &Application

Through deep working relationships with healthcare companies, hospital systems, and academic institutions we help answer some of the most pressing questions in healthcare like "how can we change the health and cost trajectory of patients with a chronic lifestyle disease?", "how do we best taper down opioid prescriptions?", and "how do we build a clinical decision support that doctors find truly useful?"


We believe  great products are the result of great user experience, great code, and a great understanding of our customers. To be a good fit for this position, you will have extensive experience with Ruby on Rails and have strong communication collaboration with other developers.


We are currently looking for a lead backend developer to work in conjunction with our team to support further build out of one of our latest projects Bend Health Inc.

Their founding team has been in both technology and healthcare for nearly twenty years, as individual contributors, and executives, in both private practices and at companies like Oracle, Optum and Teladoc Health.


They are revolutionizing the treatment of mental health conditions for kids and teens through a novel data-driven technology platform and evidence-based collaborative care model that enables the first scalable and integrated care solution in mental health. By reducing the time to evaluation and treatment by a licensed pediatric psychiatrist expert to 48 hours or less, our approach achieves better outcomes and results in happier, healthier, kids/teens, while ensuring stigma, and logistics are no longer barriers to care.
