About NexHealth
 
Our healthcare system is frustratingly analog. When you live in a world of one-tap car rides, meal delivery, and unlimited streaming, why do you have to call to schedule an appointment with a doctor and are still handed a clipboard to fill in a form? NexHealth’s mission is to accelerate innovation in healthcare. We’re doing this by connecting patients, doctors, and developers. We’re the first to fully automate the integration with health record systems, paving the way for a new generation of disruptive healthtech companies.
 
Here's some of what we've accomplished:
  1. $125M Series C at $1B valuation
  2. Manage more than 38 million patient records
  3. 100%+ annual revenue growth
  4. Top 10% of Inc. 5000 (2022)
 
Engineering at NexHealth
 
The healthcare industry is highly regulated and fragmented. Patients crave unified access to their healthcare information. Doctors want to modernize the patient experience.  Developers want to quickly build and launch new products. To do this, we need to create a multi-faceted product which each of these stakeholders cannot live without. 
 
Our engineering team is building new infrastructure to bolster the healthcare industry.  We address complex problems and artfully connect antiquated systems with NexHealth’s technology to create a seamless experience for patients, doctors, and developers.

  • Participate in all phases of SDLC - requirements, design, and development through testing, deployment, maintenance and support.
  • Create new microservices and help decompose our monolith
  • Implement solutions through the entirety of the SDLC, including testing, deployment, and operationalization
  • Pairing with other team members, embracing a culture of collaboration and mutual respect to solve complex problems

  • Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree, preferably in CS, or equivalent experience

NexHealth Values
  • Solve the customer’s problems, not yours
    When making decisions, think from the perspective of the customer. It’s easy to make decisions that make our lives simpler, but not the customers.
  • Do the things others are not willing to do
    As a Nexer, always go after the hardest problems. Pursue things at the highest quality. Move at the fastest pace. 
  • Take ownership
    Act like a founder. Own your roles, destinies, mistakes, behavior, and our mission. The buck stops with each of us - no blaming or excuses.
  • Say what’s on your mind, with positive intent
    Be direct, proactive, transparent, and frequent in your communication. 
  • Default trust
    As a Nexer, you do not have to earn trust, trust is given to you by default. If we by default trust each other, our speed of communication, feedback, information sharing, and overall improvements will be a lot faster.
  • Think in first principles
    We first identify the problem and then break it down to its fundamentals before diving into solutions. We constantly ask “why” to validate our assumptions.
