QUICK PITCH
Our client builds software to help healthcare professionals deliver optimal care for their patients in hours, whilst supercharging their teams' productivity. The client's online consultation platform provides a single source of truth to increase speed, accuracy, and patient outcomes. There isn't a higher impact than this.
Company Overview
Client is a care enablement platform that automates clinical workflows to increase doctor efficiency and improve patient care. Founded in 2022, the company is headquartered in the UK and serves the NHS as its largest customer.
The founder's background as a medical doctor inspired the initial vision. Through his clinical experience, he saw many lives lost due to inefficiencies causing long wait times. By increasing clinician productivity 10x through automation, the platform aims to expedite diagnosis and treatment . Initially worked with UK Treasury to reform care system from an integrated care perspective. Built a minimum viable product in 2 weeks, which is still 80% of the current code.
The platform consists of two main components - a patient app and clinician dashboard. Through the patient app, individuals can autonomously submit queries, symptoms, and medical histories which are compiled into a report for review by clinicians.
On the clinician side, Client provides a real-time dashboard bringing together 5-10 integrated tools on a single screen. This allows doctors to manage 10x their normal caseload and make care decisions for patients within 60 seconds versus traditional methods.
Benefits
Some key capabilities and benefits of the platform include:
- Automated Clinical Notes - The system generates coded clinical notes and documentation, eliminating manual paperwork.
- Comprehensive Medical Histories - By aggregating all available patient data, the platform presents a more complete history than a typical clinician could gather, saving significant time.
- AI-Driven Triage - Artificial intelligence guides patients through relevant symptom questionnaires, surfaces possible diagnoses, and aids clinicians in prioritizing the highest risk patients first.
- Multi-User Collaboration - An integrated Slack-like tool supports real-time group discussions across thousands of clinical channels, improving coordination of care teams.
- Online Consultations - The platform enables virtual consultations and remote patient monitoring in addition to in-person visits.
- Productivity Tools - Features like document processing and analytics help optimize workflows and drive data-informed decisions.
- NOT - Telemedicine company providing virtual consultations, care app for online symptom checking
By standardizing clinical workflows, streamlining documentation, and automating administrative tasks, Client aims to revolutionize care delivery systems globally. The platform seeks to put the right care in front of patients within 24 hours versus weeks through dramatic productivity gains for overburdened medical teams.
Position Overview
Does this sound like you?
- Hungry and wants their shot to change the world - a force of nature when empowered with the tools, resources and development to do it. Sees joining Client as potentially their shot to do this, and takes duty to crew and mission extremely seriously.
- Obsessively concerned with UX, and optimises for this when building features rather than arbitrary technical goals.
- Bored and frustrated at big companies; feel held back by red tape, bureaucracy and poor decisions.
- Keen to understand the big picture & entire context of the company and vertical; impatient for growth towards a senior executive role.
- Expert competency in TS, and reasonably tech + language agnostic. Comfortable with key frameworks/libraries like Angular, Node and React. Able to work full stack in JS/TS. Values pragmatism and open discussion from first principles rather than dogma.
- Seeks to maximise not only self productivity, but combined team productivity, communicating the right things at the right time through the right channels (verbal/Slack/Notion).
- Disciplined towards best practice version control, CI/CD and code extensibility. Values 'interface safety' through dimensionality reduction at interfaces.
- Exceptional at 'breadth-first search' through Googling when tackling new challenges, and consistently mindful of local maxima.
- Intellectually curious with a growth mindset - able to tackle entirely Client challenges that lack prior precedent through applying strong CS fundamentals and first principles thinking, creatively using the right data structures & algorithms to solve problems 90/10.
- Familiarity with AWS (APIG, DynamoDB, Lambda, Cognito, Amplify, CloudFormation) and/or hungry to learn.
We don't enforce any particular experience level, but you'll need to demonstrate most of the above through past projects and/or our assessment process.
Our current stack & what to expect from the role
We are tech agonistic, and collectively choose the best tools for the job. We're constantly looking to maximise our productivity and minimise what we call "discounted dev time cost for shipping features. We have 2 separate fully functional web apps in prod: one for clinical users and one for patients. Our stack is currently entirely in JS/TS: Angular + Capacitor + Electron, React (internal tools), Amplitude (analytics), a fully serverless backend in AWS (Cognito, Appsync GraphQL, Lambda, DynamoDB). We have good functional & unit test coverage and CI/CD.
Our stack is in a great place already: highly scalable, cost effective, good test coverage, easily maintained, secure and performant with minimal to zero Ops. The product and codebase are stable and loved by our users. We write, test, deploy & ship new features rapidly.
Strategically, we prioritise strong frontend-backend decoupling through GraphQL and strong modularisation of frontend and backend into hierarchical pure modules, with high abstraction internal services and helpers, allowing ephemeral lances (similar to 'squads') to work on functional modules without needing to understand or be overly concerned about other parts of the codebase.
We're looking to add talented engineers who are hungry and understand the urgency and importance of what we're doing for society.
First Month - Some Examples Of What To Expect
- Help add further key third party API integrations, including with legacy EMR systems and national APIs like e.g. the electronic prescribing service, allowing Client to directly issue prescriptions.
- Iterate on a proprietary graph traversal algorithm to improve patient care and clinical value, and increasingly move away from explicit curation to implicit curation by NNs.
- Ship important features that will directly increase delta lives saved in your first 2 weeks.
- Join customer calls to develop a deep understanding of their fundamental motivations and needs/pain points.
Next 6 months - some examples of what to expect:
- Help architect and deploy a scalable & cost effective ETL data pipeline with version control, outputting clean data ready for tokenisation.
- Help deploy our active deep learning training & validation architecture to prod, so that we can correctly eat up our '1.0' systems at the right time
- Build cutting edge products like global context aware chat with semantic search, care orchestration and LLM-enabled cloud telephony e2e
- Hire/scale the team, while implementing the right processes at the right times to maximise discounted team productivity and minimise discounted dev time cost for shipping.
6+ months - some examples of what to expect:
- Potential to transition to a more managerial/executive role. Lead an autonomous lance of elite engineers to fix care and save lives.
- Work with the Client/data team to creatively ideate and ship features to improve ETL pipeline throughput and quality through a data-driven approach powered by analytics.
- This is a permanent role: things get even more exciting down the line!
