The Pyx Health vision is to tackle loneliness when it matters most for everyone who needs it!

Pyx Health is a technology-enabled solution focused on helping the most vulnerable populations with loneliness and social isolation. Combining a digital platform with a Compassionate Support Center and timely human interventions, Pyx Health provides our clients and their members an innovative, scalable solution that effectively addresses the nation’s critical loneliness epidemic and improves lives.

Today, the rate of people living with loneliness is increasing dramatically, and traditional approaches to healthcare cannot possibly scale to reach them all. We exist to serve those people and help them lead them to better health.

The ideal candidate is an experienced developer with an emphasis on front-end development who can hit the ground running and take on ownership of web applications and mobile device applications.

We use React for our front-end and C# for our backend. The products you will work on are a single-page application, a progressive web application, and a mobile device application, all of which communicate using RESTful services.

We are in a fast growth phase and are expanding rapidly. We therefore need an engineer who will be dedicated and willing to take ownership of the codebase and set standards. While the emphasis is on front-end design and development, the engineer should expect to pick up work across all aspects of the development stack.
