This iterative approach means we’re constantly innovating to deliver meaningful improvements to our healthcare platform.
🌎 We’re a fully remote team, with our talented people spread across New York, Boston, San Francisco, and throughout the U.S. While we embrace the flexibility of remote work, we’re passionate about strengthening connections through our bi-annual retreats, both company-wide and PDE-specific, where we plan, grow, and celebrate our successes together. Local team members enjoy getting together for co-working and social events, creating bonds that go beyond the workplace.
🎉 Our culture brings thoughtfulness to our daily work. You’ll find us expressing ourselves through our extensive Slack emoji and GIF collection (seriously, it’s impressive!), sharing gratitude circles on birthdays, and having conversations that range from foodie recommendations to discussions about AI tooling, developer experience, and architecture. While we take our mission seriously, we believe enjoying what you do and technical excellence go hand in hand.
