<h1>Our Mission</h1>We’re building infrastructure for modern healthcare delivery.Traditional healthcare is plagued with outdated, monolithic EHRs designed to maximize billing outcomes. Patient outcomes and provider experiences have been afterthoughts, as these systems have bolted on non-API-first solutions. None of this is built for how clinically excellent healthcare is actually delivered—longitudinally and collaboratively, with the patient at the center.Healthie is the world’s leading API-first, ONC-Certified EHR for healthcare delivery outside of the hospital. We provide the powerful infrastructure every scaling organization needs—EHR, scheduling, patient engagement, billing, and more—all accessible via modern APIs and a white-labeled UI. Our platform makes it simple for organizations of any size to launch, customize, and scale their care delivery models without reinventing the wheel.Today, over 2 billion API calls are made to Healthie every month, as thousands of organizations—working with more than 20 million patients in total—rely on Healthie to deliver clinically excellent healthcare in over 35 specialties, from preventative medicine to complex chronic care management.We believe in the power of technology to improve access to healthcare—and we’re building the rails that make this a reality. We work fast and with quality because we provide business-critical, healthcare-critical software that clinicians and patients need for a better healthcare system. We’re customer-obsessed, operate with lightning-fast processes and responses, make our product roadmap public so customers can see what we’re building, and remain relentlessly focused on how care gets delivered.Healthie is backed by leading investors, and while we've $42M raised to date, more importantly, we operate with fiscal responsibility and have been profitable for more than half of our time as a company.Learn more at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="text-primary-600 underline underline-offset-2" href="https://www.gethealthie.com/">https://www.gethealthie.com/</a><hr><h1>About the role</h1>Healthie is hiring a Staff Software Engineer to help plan and execute ambitious and impactful projects.
