Doximity (https://www.doximity.com) - San Fransisco, CA - Remote or Onsite - Permanent - Full Time

Ruby on Rails engineers, preferably full stack and helps to have experience in Go and JavaScript. https://doximity.theresumator.com/apply/jobs/details/I4u6BD

Doximity's passion for working with physicians is what helped us grow to No 1. We believe that when doctors are connected, patients benefit and the medical sector works better. Listening to what physicians need and then building simple tools to solve complex problems is what we do. Our vision is a future where medical communication is effortless — fast, simple, seamless and secure.

Doximity is made of developers, doctors, scientists, start-up founders, non-profit founders, ping-pong players, professional waterskiers. We're diverse - in fact, we're multilingual. Ruby is our preferred language, of course. While we're already the No. 1 network for physicians, we're not even close to being done with our goals.

We talk about our technology on our blog:

I'm working at Doximity with Rails and Go. Great team, interesting technical problems, and we actually make a difference in the medical care of others.

Some physician testimonies:

I was searching for clinical trials for one of my patients with severe eczema refractory to many therapies. In my search, I was referred to a nearby expert. Instead of calling the department, or trying to search through the many webpages of the hospital, I found the physician on Doximity and simply sent her a message via Doximity on my iPhone and got my patient set up with the clinical trial manager within a matter of hours.

I had a young gentleman with a vague brain surgery history who was brought in to my community ER by ambulance. He had altered mental status so he was unable to give me any information on his condition or history. Luckily EMS said he had surgery at a neighboring academic center. I contacted medical records at the other hospital but they said there was no record of the patient. Using Doximity I snapped a photo of the patient's wristband and face sheet. Turns out his DOB was wrong. Medical records faxed back his records just in time for me to arrange transfer before the patient lost his airway.

In addition to Jey, feel free to contact me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/benmanns) or email at bmanns@doximity.com if you want a perspective from a remote engineer.

I joined Doximity earlier this year as a remote developer and I couldn't be happier. It's really cool having a true SF startup experience while still being outside the Bay Area.

If you're a Rails/JS developer out on the market, feel free to email me your resume and Github as well (skhan@doximity.com).

Unlike most startups you read about on TechCrunch, Doximity is already profitable and we're scaling fast (over 60% of US physicians on our medical network and 120+ people in the company). Our engineering team works hard at building software solutions for this lucrative market.

Lots of very talented full-stack engineers on our team, as well as a team of data science experts. Great opp for any solid Rails/JS developers looking for a change.

I have 2 questions:

1) Are you open to developers outside the US? I'm currently in Poland. 2) I have programming and test automation experience, but with Ruby on Rails I'm just a beginner (I'm not using it at work, just for personal projects). Are you open to "Rails rookies" too?

I've been at Doximity for over 5 years and can say it's an incredible company. Great team, challenging problems for a great cause.

Feel free to contact me as well if you'd like to find out more, bmiranda@doximity.com
