- Empowering patients with varied skills and disabilities to manage their care services schedules
- Providing real-time updates to our call center staff so that they can better serve our patient population
- Increase the effectiveness and efficiency of our team of care providers through the use of automation, algorithms, statistical models, and machine learning
- Integrating with external data systems so that our customers and our team can make more informed decisions that lead to better patient outcomes
- Improve the quality of the services we provide to patients by creating voice and text communications systems to connect patients with caregivers
Salary range: $90k-$150k
Position on remote work: We are fully remote
Qualifications or experience required:
- Experience building web applications and API’s with Elixir and Phoenix
- Strong knowledge of relational database design and optimization
- Be comfortable working in a startup environment where each team member may need to wear several hats
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills

What the successful job applicant will be working on:
- Participate in full software development lifecycle, including planning, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance
- Maintain existing Elixir API’s in a production environment
- Be an active participant in strategic planning discussions with technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Work with business and product stakeholders to create & document requirements
- Maintain a working knowledge of emerging technologies as well as new developments in older technologies

- Send us your resume and tell us a bit about yourself: your experience with Elixir, any open-source projects you want to share
- First interview - meet with your future manager - get to know each other, answer any questions you have about the role and the team, review your past experience
- Second interview - technical discussion with two of your future teammates. No coding required, but we would like to talk through problems you’ve solved as well as hypothetical software design and architecture questions. This is also a great opportunity to discuss the role with your peers.
