Introduction

Awell is a technology company active in healthcare building the best CareOps platform in the world. We exist because we want to have a positive impact on the lives of patients & care teams. Don’t trust our word for it, have a look at the Awell Handbook and find out for yourself.

Our customers are tech-forward care providers who want to leverage the work of their care teams (our mission is to “make care flows work harder than care teams”). They both use our software and build on top of our software in order to achieve their goals of better and more efficient patient care.

We are a team of 20 people, globally distributed, serving customers in Europe and the US. We are backed by Octopus Ventures, S16, LocalGlobe, Moonfire, and others. We are looking for open-minded people who are committed to continuously improving themselves and the world around them. Our culture is one of responsibility, high productivity, and genuine feedback.

About The Role

This role is a fully-remote position, though you will get a 3x3 desk in our virtual office on gather ;)


Awell has been described as "logic as a service." Our job as Awelliens is to help our customers by simplifying their problems--by taking the complexity of care orchestration, human-in-the-loop workflows, measuring effectiveness of improvements in care pathways, and creating effective, easy-to-use abstractions (a funny way to say we want to help improve patient outcomes)…

As a full-stack product engineer, you’ll be helping to create that CareOps platform our customers so desperately need. A lot of the time, this sort of work requires shifting our point of reference--or helping our customers to shift their frame of reference--by walking in their shoes, understanding their needs, and building features that enable them to deliver amazing care to their patients at scale.


What we do can be somewhat technical because we are creating a sort of suite of SDKs for care flow builders and operators. It’s also highly product-centric and even patient-centric because patients are interacting with our software which is white-labeled for our customers.

This challenge should excite you.

You’ll be working with a world-class product development team and many times directly with customers who want to change healthcare for the better. The work will likely change from quarter to quarter. When we’re experiencing high growth (e.g. much of 2024), the cycles will be shorter. It’s not easy, but the team is enormously supportive, we have “short toes,” we communicate openly and honestly, and we think we do a really good job of maintaining psychological safety while demanding high performance from ourselves and each other.

As an early member of the team, you will have an opportunity to shape our culture, and to grow as Awell grows. We expect you’ll learn a lot working here. You’ll take part in our bi-weekly SODOTO sessions (“see one, do one, teach one”) and knowledge-share with teammates; you’ll hack away at problems during one of our Offsites; you’ll perform discovery on new features; you’ll learn about Awell’s customers and the problems they’re looking to solve.

Our goal is that when you decide to move on from your journey with Awell, you’ll look back fondly at your time knowing it was very well spent, you’ll have made some great colleagues and/or friends, and you’ll feel a drive to “pay it forward” and coach others so they can also find fulfillment in their work the way you did.
