Engineering Manager - Synchronizer Core

Engineering Manager - Synchronizer Core

Our healthcare system remains frustratingly analog. When you live in a world of one-tap car rides, instant meal delivery, and unlimited streaming, why do you still have to call to schedule a doctor's appointment and fill out a clipboard in the waiting room?

Nex Health's mission is to accelerate innovation in healthcare by connecting patients, providers, and developers.
