We're looking for engineers to upgrade the patient experience.
The software you experience at the doctor's office is often dated and terrible, but our software can plug into the doctor's legacy system and provide a modern experience: online scheduling, paperless check-in, interactive reminders, automated waitlist, payments, and more.
Patients get a great experience and the practices have less busy-work.
We're just 40 people, but we're the top-rated solution in our space and used by thousands of offices across the country.
We do things differently than most: we're smaller (by choice), and self-funded. This allows us to stay focused on our practices instead of trying to impress VCs.
As an engineer joining the team, this means greater ownership.
