Golang Job Details

Overview:
We are seeking an innovative, self-starting and security-oriented Software Platform Engineer as we are scaling our technical team rapidly with an ambitious roadmap, at a time when digital health innovation and data security have never been more important.
Overview

MedStack
is a subscription-based platform, but we are also an ecosystem, a community that champions startups and entrepreneurship. We embrace automation, collaboration, startup empowerment, and creative problem-solving. Our customers work with us and with each other to tackle the world's biggest problem: making healthcare more efficient, accessible, economical, and effective, at a time when the world needs it more than ever before.

The healthcare industry (hospitals, insurance companies, public health, clinic networks, pharma providers and distributors, and patients themselves) is beholden to strict requirements for data privacy and security requirements that it then applies to its digital health vendors. These complex requirements slow the development and adoption of important solutions.
At MedStack, we provide a new way for digital health to be built, implemented, and scaled, faster, more efficiently, and with data privacy protection at the center. Have a look at how we think about the problem we are going after.
