What the job involves
- Elation is looking for a full-stack engineer with a deep understanding of web programming, design, and technical obstacles to join our application team focused on building and maintaining AI driven product experiences
- As a member of the team you’ll be deeply involved in the system design, development, and maintenance of these products
- What You’ll Do in Your First 60 Days:
- Ship your first AI-powered feature improvement to production
- Partner with Product and UX to scope and design at least one new capability

Our take
Due to various pitfalls in the healthcare system, inefficient clinical care costs more than $750B in the United States each year. Elation Health is a healthcare company setting out to change this narrative by improving the physician-patient relationship.
Elation takes a networked approach to patient data, enabling physicians to collaborate and deliver better care. For example, the platform gives professionals in any location the ability to access records, review reports, contact patients, send prescriptions, and offer virtual care via video calls.
And it's proving a success, as it is used by over 25,000 clinicians who care for millions of patients. The patient scheduling software market is a very busy one, packed with competitors offering similar products. However, Elation had a busy 2024 and is in a prime position to stay ahead of its competitors.
