Senior Node.js Engineer

What's the Project? 

Our client believes that everyone should be able to define & control their bodies, health & wellbeing. Their mission is to build a direct-to-consumer, virtual-first health care platform that celebrates & supports the agency & autonomy of LGBTQIIA+ members. In building this platform, they are focused on providing agency, reliability and transparency to their members

The current healthcare system is not accountable to the patients it serves. Therefore, to achieve the mission our client believes it is imperative to build and retain direct (paying) relationships with the LGBTQ+ community by offering them products that meet critical needs and delight them. Over time this will result in our client, on behalf of the community, being able to remake more and more of the currently broken system from the inside out.
