Your opportunity

Our client builds North America’s leading clinical decision support tool for mental healthcare providers. They are a mission-driven innovator rooted in research and building the tools to support the emergent clinical category they are creating. They currently serve >350 healthcare organizations and tens of thousands of clinicians delivering care in clinics, hospitals, campuses and workplaces. The company also serves regional health systems by providing population-level insights and bolsters continuity of care by making patient data on the platform portable to a variety of care providers and program administrators.

The company is a series B venture that’s approximately 8 years old and growing at a measured pace, in line with revenue, with minimal reliance on outside capital. They have taken funding exclusively from their incubator, accelerator, a mission-aligned fund of high-net-worth family offices, and have only recently welcomed venture capital to the equation. The mission was inspired by personal experiences with the shortcomings and inconsistencies in mental healthcare practice and the founders are dedicated to improving the quality of care within these systems.

The company is ~65 total team members, and as a Senior Platform Engineer, you will join an R&D organization of ~35 team members (with ~10 in product and design, ~20 in software engineering and ~5 in adjacent functions like data analysis, solutions engineering and support engineering).
