Senior Engineer, Java (Remote)

Medically Home is focused on providing a high quality, highly functional and comprehensive solution for evolving patient needs, especially around the hospital at home model of healthcare. As part of our software engineering team, you will contribute to the construction of the Cesia Continuum, which is the platform that enables the achievement of these goals. You will apply and improve your skills in a very gratifying quest to deliver world-class software that not only adheres to engineering best practices and software design principles, but also changes the face of a trillion-dollar healthcare industry.

Position Description:

Cesia's goal is to enable acute care at home, at scale. A critical part of that product strategy is to provide clinical value through workflow, data, and analytics, so you will work closely with our clinical and product team leadership team to find opportunities to deliver high value, measurable clinical interventions that are enabled - uniquely - by our platform. We believe that innovation comes from combining many perspectives - deep clinical experience, a knowledge of how healthcare organizations do (and don't) work, and a sense of the opportunities that come from new technologies.

As a young company, Medically Home looks for employees who are interested in learning, growing, and picking up the ball and running with it. Engineering hires will join an established team that prides itself on over-delivering and exemplifying success in a fast-paced startup. The ideal candidate for this role will look forward to learning new technologies and domains and enjoy balancing focus between fast growth and responsible engineering discipline.
