About the Role

Hi, I’m Ashwin, Principal Engineering Manager at MedMe Health.

At MedMe, we are passionate about empowering pharmacists to provide services beyond just prescribing for patients in the community. Our mission is to build an all-in-one cloud-based platform that empowers pharmacists to schedule, document, and manage clinical services at scale. We help pharmacies transform into community health hubs.

We are building software for an industry that has relied on pen and paper throughout its history. This is why crafting, building, and constantly improving the end-to-end customer experience is essential. It’s crucial that we listen deeply to the diverse needs of our pharmacies, which could be located anywhere from dense urban jungles to small remote communities. We design and build for their needs to ultimately provide more proactive and sustainable care for the patients in their communities.

MedMe has the two largest pharmacy chains in Canada as clients; we are servicing over 3,500 pharmacies, and we power over 14 million patient services. We played a critical role across the country throughout the pandemic in getting the larger population vaccinated and are expanding internationally. Our investors include M12 (Microsoft’s Venture Fund), MaRS IAF, and Y-Combinator.

The Opportunity

• Building web applications using React and Node.js (both in TypeScript) using GraphQL and a PostgreSQL database on AWS infrastructure.
• Collaborating on key technology decisions to shape the architecture and product roadmap.
• Sharing your depth and breadth of knowledge through peer mentorship.
• Taking an active role in developing our team and maintaining a quality codebase through code reviews, sprint planning, and retrospectives.
• Working with code and project management tools such as JIRA/Notion/Figma.

Example Projects You Could Work On:

• Creating new patient and pharmacist flows (e.g., intakes, modules, features) to meet the needs of both our national enterprises and mom-and-pop pharmacy partners.
• Scaling our test environments using the AWS CDK (IaC).
• Working with 3rd party digital health platforms (e.g., EHRs/pharmacy software, remote monitoring devices) to facilitate integration and data interoperability that allows pharmacists to deliver more personalized, proactive care.
• Building & versioning APIs that are consumed by third parties.

Our Tech Stack

• React
• Node.js/TypeScript with GraphQL
• PostgreSQL
• AWS infrastructure (CDK or Terraform a plus)
• TypeScript (both frontend and backend), with some Go
• Dockerized / Container Infrastructure
• GitHub & GitHub Actions

We value technology problem solvers over technology specialists. In general, you should be comfortable with web applications, understand the presentation layer, state management, service calls, server-side business logic, persistence, infrastructure, and so on.
