Docent Health was founded with the mission of helping health systems and providers make their patients feel beautifully connected to their healthcare journey. Our belief is that ALL patients should be treated like high-value customers.

Our platform combines technology, human interaction, and analytics to help health systems do what is best for their patients and their hospitals, in order to provide a more integrated and fundamentally human patient experience.  Our goal, in partnering with our clients, is to make sure every patient feels known, valued, and heard.

• Strong computer science fundamentals; ability to analyze and solve problems, make difficult decisions, and own problems from beginning to end
• Strong verbal and written communication skills (both technical and non-technical): you can go the distance in a technical discussion but can also bring things up a level in a conversation with colleagues in other areas of the business
• Experience with automated testing, CI/CD, containers, cloud providers
• Previous experience with healthcare or other regulated (e.g. financial) software environments a plus
