Software Engineer (Rails)
Posted May 10
Healthify
Headquarters: NYC
https://healthify.workable.com/jobs/479650
Description
Our
mission is to build a world where no one’s health is hindered by their
need. Over sixty percent of our health is determined by social needs
like access to food, jobs, childcare, and housing. Right now, the way
healthcare organizations address these problems is broken. We believe
there is more to health than healthcare and we’re fundamentally
rethinking how healthcare organizations and communities work together to
help people thrive.
We came from a background of working with
vulnerable populations in Baltimore and are focused on building next
generation technology to move the needle on healthcare outcomes and cost
for these populations. Our products are used by the top health plans
and health systems in the country to make sure their patients are
connected to the social service resources they need.
We’re backed
by an incredible group of impact investors and VCs—from Kapor capital to
Primary Venture Partners. Our team is made up of tenacious social
workers, technologists, operators, and engineers, all united around our
mission. We love people who are humble, dynamic, authentic, and results
focused. Join us to solve some of the hardest problems in healthcare and
build a better future.
