Company mission
To catalyze healthcare's greatest inventors by maximizing the value of patient insights - so that they can build up, not around.
Role
Who you are

- This team's tech stack includes: Typescript, React, Tailwind, Node, and SQL, so experience with these or related technologies is definitely a plus
- The ability to overcome challenging obstacles independently
- The self-awareness to recognize when outside assistance is needed
- The desire to learn about building software in a professional environment
- The willingness to incorporate feedback into your work
- The ability to write clean code

- This person needs to be enrolled in school and work from July through December
What the job involves
- We are looking for an eager software engineering co-op to help build the next generation of healthtech tools. This co-op will report to our Software Engineering Manager on the Gaps team
- With broad needs and a small team, we’re looking for engineers eager to jump into the next challenge and committed to learning what we need to make the magic happen
- The Gaps team identifies situations in which a patient is potentially receiving sub-optimal care and surfaces those to providers. We use industry standard algorithms to identify these gaps and then surface them to users via our web application
- The co-op on this team will act as a full-stack engineer with a focus on building out our web application to surface care gaps to providers
- Roll up your sleeves and build production-ready technology
- Collaborate with your colleagues to build high quality solutions that scale
Our take
Whilst the healthtech sector is growing fast, the kind of tech needed to build within each healthcare field can be radically different. The result has been that most of these companies develop in a vacuum, with time and resources wasted on unnecessary duplications of tools, data, and backends. Zus is looking to remedy this health data isolation issue by building a shared development platform for healthcare startups.
The idea is that companies will benefit from shared data in the backend - thus bringing down the cost and delays currently involved in setting up individual new companies. Whilst the healthtech boom of recent years is showing signs of abating, at least in the US, it’s still a strong and fertile market with plenty of room for innovation. This should keep interest high for capabilities like those offered by Zus.
Moreover, the company is led by HealthTech veteran Jonathan Bush. His tenure at athenahealth saw it ultimately sold in a $17B private equity deal after becoming a leading healthcare network service provider. With this expertise, a market-accelerating proposition, and impressive partnerships, Zus has the potential to be an important player.
