Who we are:
At Optimize Health, we believe that it's time to rethink brick-and-mortar-only healthcare visits. With our powerful combination of the leading platform technology, patient-friendly devices, and trusted support, we are pioneering how medical groups use technology and real-time data to treat patients' health outside the practice walls. As the most trusted and experienced remote care vendor in the industry, we simplify the complexities of delivering effective, high-quality remote patient monitoring and optimize our clients’ clinical and financial performance.
Optimize Health has been around for a few years, but as our ambitions for improving and expanding our product grow, we’re now ready for our engineering team to expand considerably too. We are seeking Frontend Engineers to help us impress and delight our customers in new ways.
Today Optimize Health offers Web-based applications used by both clinicians and administrators. We’d like to allow them to work more efficiently—focusing on their patients, keeping them healthy and happy—with a service that continues to feel fast and reliable. You can make that happen.
Our engineers work remotely, spread across the hemispheres but mostly grouped near the Eastern Time Zone. We do travel occasionally to get together in person, if you’re into it.

We have a software system organized along a few well-trod paths, with the “platform” or backend involving the following:
For building and deploying, the following are also pertinent:
We use a few vendors for important capabilities:
You don’t need to be an expert in all of these. Being confident with the first few is most helpful, but more important is you being interested in the menu as an opportunity to learn. This is what we’re using today, and any of it could change. If you’re willing to learn and recognize that as your primary responsibility, we’d love to have you.
Your work week will involve:
- Consulting with product designers, customer success advocates, and your fellow engineers to decide what to build next.
- Writing code to extend and improve the product, refining your work through your colleagues’ review.
- Reviewing and writing your own design documents for the bigger things. Writing to inform or convince your audience is useful, but writing as a means of annealing your thoughts for yourself is even better.
- Responding to the occasional cry of distress from the system, and tuning the monitoring criteria to adapt to new facts and suspicions.
- Observing people using our product, understanding their needs and difficulties, and proposing improvements to close those gaps.
- Following and contributing to open-source software projects.
- Bumping into things you’ve never heard of and problems you’ve never seen, summoning your courage, and pushing forward with confidence.
We are looking for people who:
- Have 2–4 years of experience working with some of the technology we use.
- Care deeply about the quality of their work and want to be proud of what they’ve built.
- Discover, create, complain, and celebrate out loud, staying in close touch with their coworkers despite the distance.
- Can survey the spectrum of solutions from the inadequate to the ideal, choosing what’s appropriate today, mindful of what can come later.
- Treat the edges of their knowledge as incidental and malleable, being eager to study something unfamiliar as soon the need arises.
