About our stack:
Everything's up for debate but we want to leave you with a good idea of what tools we are using today. While keeping our current tool box up to date, we are open minded about trying new technologies and ideas that may better fit our needs.
At the highest level, our Ruby on Rails backend is hosted in AWS with our Angular frontend being served through a CDN. We process tasks asynchronously and leverage a frontend cache to help reduce network calls against our GraphQL APIs. Our Data Science team works off of a data lake, pulling dataframes into python for reporting and analytics.
This is the general idea and we’re happy to jump into all the details with you!
Desired skills and experience:
You’ve managed a team of engineers with a mix of technical focus and seniority while being responsible for performance management, team happiness, and delivery velocity.
You’re comfortable balancing management responsibilities with technical contributions, and are able to make independent decisions prioritizing between the two.
We are using the most recent version of Angular which means we hope you’ve had strong experience in TypeScript with modern web frameworks that utilize the virtual dom, change detection, and have explored Observables / Streams.
We are using the most recent version of Rails which means we hope you’ve had strong experience in Ruby or other object-oriented languages along with a deep understanding of the MVC pattern and how an ORM impacts SQL.
In delivering robust software, we expect you to bring opinions about clean code, testability, and design patterns that were shaped by practical successes and failures.
How we work:
We use scrum to organize into delivery teams which are autonomous, and responsible for holistically delivery features and pilots to our users. Our teams include fullstack, frontend, and backend engineers. We round out the team with a dedicated Scrum Master and Product Owner. These teams operate on a two-week sprint.
Additionally we have DevOps and Data Science teams providing support and insight across team functions.
Our Hiring Philosophy
RubiconMD’s founding mission is to democratize medical expertise, so that all patient populations have access to the care they need.

It’s no small order, but we can achieve it with the right team. That’s why we hire people with drive and leadership, who are also highly accountable—to each other, to the providers we serve, and to the impact we exist to make.
