Our platform makes it easier for patients to find the right doctor, helps providers focus on those who need them most, and ensures faster access to care. By harnessing clinically grounded AI and real-time optimization, we improve operational efficiency, increase system capacity, and deliver better patient outcomes at scale.

Cross-Functional Support Work closely with Engineering teams to streamline internal processes. Collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure smooth operations as the company scales. Assist in building documentation and internal runbooks to support repeatable, reliable workflows. Qualifications Required 3–5+ years of experience in IT or a hybrid ITOps/Engineering role.

Familiarity with cloud platforms (GCP preferred; AWS/Azure acceptable). Experience with Terraform or other IaC tools. Understanding of networking fundamentals, VPN configuration, and basic security practices. Strong communication skills and the ability to support technical and non-technical stakeholders.
