About Circle Medical A Ucsf Health Affiliate


Circle Medical is a venture-backed Y-Combinator healthcare startup on a mission to bring quality, delightful primary care to everyone on the planet. Built by top-tier physicians, engineers, and designers, our medical practice and underlying technology have pioneered how people find and receive care.

Our focus on building directly for our patients and providers to address serious care accessibility issues has enabled us to grow over 3X year-over-year. We’re now using our most recent round of funding from WELL Health, backed by Sir Li Ka-shing, to continue building out our hybrid in-clinic and telemedicine model across all fifty states.

As we enter the hypergrowth phase, we are looking for deeply motivated team players who are driven to solve some of the biggest challenges in healthcare so that people can live longer and healthier lives.

The Role


We are currently looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Team based out of our office in Montreal, Quebec. Hybrid or remote possibilities may be considered for the right candidate. We are also open to relocation assistance and visa sponsorship. Please note that in addition to Montreal, we have offices in New York City and San Francisco and we are open to hiring in these locations also. 

We are looking for passionate, mission-driven engineers who take pride in the products they build. As a backend engineer, you'll work alongside other engineers, product designers, operation experts and clinicians to build patient/physician-facing features in the core product. Our primary backend technologies are Ruby, Rails, and PostgreSQL. That being said, we believe in using the right tool for the job.

WHAT YOU’LL DO: 

  • Implement, test, and maintain features in the backend systems spanning across multiple domains: scheduling, billing, clinical tools for physicians, telemedicine, and others.
  • Design APIs used by the mobile app.
  • Integrate third-party APIs.
  • Write secure, HIPAA-compliant software.
  • Contribute to the engineering culture and hiring.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:

  • 5 + years experience as a backend Engineer.
  • Excellent programming skills.
  • Experience shipping and maintaining a Web app in production.
  • Excellent knowledge of Ruby and Rails.
  • Excellent knowledge of PostgreSQL.
  • Rigorous unit testing and use of best practices.
  • Ability to take ownership.

WHAT WILL GIVE YOU AN EDGE:

  • BS, MS or PhD in computer science, math, or similar field.
  • Experience shipping and maintaining a large software system.
  • Good knowledge of Javascript and ability to contribute to the front-end if needed.
  • Experience making product decisions.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills.
  • Good knowledge of computer security.

COMPENSATION
In alignment with our values, Circle Medical has transparent salaries based on location (San Francisco, Montreal, or International Remote Contract), output levels, and options to trade cash for stock. This is a full-time, salaried position, based in Montreal, with an annual salary (cash and stock combined) of $133,350- $171,450 CAD plus, generous vacation, full medical/dental benefits (depending on working location.)

Circle Medical is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status.
