My client helps private clinics reduce patient anxiety and affordability barriers by pairing educational treatment content with an embedded finance solution - so more people can access the care they need. Backed by a purpose-driven B-Corp, they combine the stability and industry expertise of an established leader with the agility of a startup. Having launched their initial product and gained traction, they're now scaling for phase two.

- Mentor teammates and help cultivate a healthy, innovative engineering culture.
Tech Stack:
- Core: TypeScript / JavaScript (server-side)
- Cloud & Infra: AWS (cloud-based architectures), Docker, CI/CD; IaC such as Terraform or CloudFormation
- Quality & Ops: Security and observability tooling/best practices
- Bonus exposure: React on the front end (nice to have)
