Job Type: Full Time
Experience Level: At least 2-4ish years of professional software development (this probably isn’t your first software job). At the maximum, you used to hang out with Ada Lovelace (and know about time travel?).
Location: We are a remote-first company, but you must be in the United States (for contractual reasons), and we currently have team members in the Eastern or Central timezones. We do standup at 9 AM Eastern. Pre-pandemic, we got together every few months in Virginia. We hope to do that again in the future because we sometimes sort of like hanging out with each other as, you know, people.
Technology Basics: We use Vue, transitioning away from AngularJS, with a Rails backend. If you know React, Angular*, Vue, or just Javascript, you’ll be fine on the front-end. If you’ve used pretty much anything on the backend, you’ll likely be able to learn Ruby/Rails quickly enough.
How to Apply: Ideally, read the rest of this first, then email the normal things you’d email when applying for a job to careers U+0040 dorsata.com. (Test 1: translate that UTF-8 code to the right thing. This is just spam-bot avoidance.)
We’re looking for a versatile, full-stack engineer to help develop the Dorsata Prenatal Record and other products in women's health. Maybe you know the front-end a little better than the back-end or vice-versa, but you’re comfortable enough with both and confident enough to learn what you don't know.
The Dorsata Prenatal Record is a product which obstetricians and gynecologists (ob/gyns) use to help manage pregnancy episodes. Technically, we are an electronic medical record (EMR or EHR), and we sit on top of general-purpose electronic medical record. EMRs have a bad name because they’re clunky; we work hard to make thoughtful user experiences. Please don’t ask your healthcare provider about EMRs before they treat you; you likely won’t get a happy response. We strive to do better.
Episodic care (pregnancies in our case) are a complex area of medicine. There are many visits in a short period of time and many topics to work through in each visit. We help providers and office staff to do the right thing efficiently but without getting in their way.
We also measure clinical outcomes in order to help providers make the connection between the care given during a pregnancy and the result of that pregnancy. This also gives us access to a great dataset that we are able to use in something called “real world evidence.” We are able to answer questions like “how do things like medications and vaccines impact pregnant women in the real world?” that others don’t have the data to answer.
Ideally, you are a multitalented wunderkind who runs circles around each of the below bullet points, but let’s be real: while some of these are must-have, many are wish-list. We may have gotten a bit carried away with these, so if feel your unique combination of skills is close-ish to the mark, don’t hesitate to reach out. In fact, do so enthusiastically.
