Senior Backend Engineer(Fully remote)

Duneolas is the next transformative leap forward in practice management (EHR) systems used in healthcare. Our unique team of experienced IT and healthcare professionals aims to deliver a software and infrastructure platform that not only outperforms existing legacy systems on established practice workflows but also provides the foundation for the next paradigm shift in primary care technology. Duneolas will not be a typical EHR but rather something we like to call an IEHR or intelligent electronic health record. The intelligence comes both from our unique frontend which promotes improved data quality capture and our innovative backend which enables next-level analysis of the data. We believe that the coming decades will bring enormous improvements in healthcare's ability to leverage data to raise the levels of care delivered to patients and the efficiency of all healthcare team members. We see Duneolas as a major component and an accelerator of this positive change.
