Senior Backend Engineer @ Stitch Health (Benchmark + Y Combinator-backed)

Company

Stitch Health is a care coordination platform for healthcare teams. Our mission is to deliver real impacts on healthcare outcomes by improving the ability for patients and providers to collaborate. Our software suite includes tools for team messaging, patient messaging, and patient management, delivered through modern web and mobile technologies. Our users are healthcare teams — consisting of doctors, nurses, social workers, pharmacists and more — and their patients.

Our technology recognizes the need for healthcare teams to easily access critical patient data wherever they are, from any device. To achieve this, our stack is Elixir/Phoenix/PostgreSQL on the back-end, React on the front-end, native iOS and Android, and Electron for desktop. Today, we’re a small but cohesive team. We’re growing fast and expanding our engineering team over the next several months.

Stitch is based in San Francisco, CA and is backed by some of the world’s best investors, including Benchmark Capital and Y Combinator. We’ve raised a Series A round and already serve over 70 healthcare organizations every day. Read about us here.
