The Role

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to help create web applications and services that support the Iora Health vision. As a member of our engineering team, you will be responsible for building innovative applications that directly impact the quality of care delivered to our patients. You will be passionate about ensuring the delivery of high quality software via best practices and help manage the development, staging and release cycles of multiple applications and services. You will be instrumental in building the systems and culture of an exciting company that is trying to fix the healthcare system. We believe in building a diverse team, and we strive to make our office a welcoming space for everyone. We encourage talented people from all backgrounds to join us.

Expectations

• You’re a software development generalist who manages all sorts of technical tasks with efficiency, precision, and correctness. You’ve been building web services and applications, and you know how they work, how to keep them running, and how to make them scale. Whatever needs to happen, you’ve done it before or you can learn and develop a new solution quickly.
• You communicate well in written and spoken English, with both technical and not-so-technical people.
• You are fun to hang out with and collaborate well with others. We are essentially an ego-less shop where everyone owns all the code.

• You have broad personal interests beyond software.

• Relational database experience with the ability to troubleshoot slow queries (we use Postgres).
• Comfortable using git for feature development and pull request code reviews.
• Comfortable with deploying and maintaining scalable and secure systems in a Linux environment. We develop on Macs and deploy to Linux. Experience with Nginx, Unicorn, Capistrano, AWS, Ansible, Docker all a plus.
• Experience with Redis, Resque, RabbitMQ, and Elastic Search a plus.

About Iora Health 
Iora Health (www.iorahealth.com) is restoring humanity to healthcare by building a simple yet radically different primary care model from scratch: we know each of our patients as true individuals, and proactively provide them the unique combination of care, support, and inspiration they need to live their best life.
The Iora Health model of health care changes everything - payment, staffing, processes, IT systems, and culture. We have no status quo to defend, no arcane rules we must follow. We are a fast-paced, fresh-thinking, high-growth company building a better model of health care delivery.
Iora Health patients enjoy the benefits of improved access to care, non-office based encounters (e.g. phone, video chat, email, walking groups, etc.), an accessible and transparent medical record, and robust educational offerings. Iora Health practices offer smaller panel sizes, closer relationships between patients and care teams, no billing or coding, and the opportunity to lead systemic change in health care delivery while working with a true team.
