Description

As a Lead User Interface Engineer at VillageMD, you will develop software to improve clinical outcomes and revolutionize how healthcare is delivered.  We're in a unique position to impact everyone in primary care from independent, family-owned practices to premier health systems.

We’ve built our technology by standing on the shoulders of tech giants allowing us to create a flexible, scalable architecture that’s nimble enough to handle real-time messaging and data file transfers. We use validated, open-source technologies developed at Airbnb, Amazon, and Facebook. We participate in the open-source ecosystem and OHDSI.
