Our core values embody the essence of what makes Waymark a unique team today, and what we look for, nurture, and sustain as a team. We are bold builders, believing that the greatest challenges in care delivery can be solved when we harness the power of community and technology.

  • Set up a local development environment that mirrors production
  • Participate in sprint planning and refinement, managing your work in Jira
  • Contribute to code reviews on GitHub and keep your team informed in standups
  • Collaborate with senior engineers, product, and design on upcoming feature planning
  • Work with PostgreSQL as part of our production data layer
Qualifications
  • Some experience building software - through professional work, internships, bootcamps, or substantial personal projects
  • Familiarity with at least one modern web application framework (e.g. React, Next.js, Phoenix, or similar)
  • Familiarity with Git and version control workflows
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with functional programming
  • Familiarity with testing frameworks and CI/CD pipelines
  • Interest in healthcare technology and improving health outcomes
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, mission-driven startup environment
