Platform Engineer | Software Engineer III

Who we are:

At Optimize Health, we believe that it's time to rethink brick-and-mortar-only healthcare visits. With our powerful combination of the leading platform technology, patient-friendly devices, and trusted support, we are pioneering how medical groups use technology and real-time data to treat patients' health outside the practice walls. As the most trusted and experienced remote care vendor in the industry, we simplify the complexities of delivering effective, high-quality remote patient monitoring and optimize our clients’ clinical and financial performance.

Optimize Health has been around for a few years, but as our ambitions for improving and expanding our product grow, we’re now ready for our engineering team to expand considerably too. We are seeking Frontend Engineers to help us impress and delight our customers in new ways.

Today Optimize Health offers Web-based applications used by both clinicians and administrators. We’d like to allow them to work more efficiently—focusing on their patients, keeping them healthy and happy—with a service that continues to feel fast and reliable. You can make that happen.

Our engineers work remotely, spread across the hemispheres but mostly grouped near the Eastern Time Zone. We do travel occasionally to get together in person, if you’re into it.
