Closer look at our culture & team: https://www.instagram.com/medmehealth/

Hi, I’m Purya, Co-Founder & CEO at MedMe Health. At MedMe, we are passionate about empowering pharmacists to provide services beyond just prescribing for patients in the community. Our mission is to build an all-in-one cloud-based platform that empowers pharmacists to schedule, document, and manage clinical services at scale. We help pharmacies transform into community health hubs.

We are building software for an industry that has relied on pen and paper throughout its history. This is why crafting, building, and constantly improving the end-to-end customer experience is essential. It’s crucial that we listen deeply to the diverse needs of our pharmacies which could be located anywhere from dense urban jungles to small remote communities. We design and build for their needs to ultimately provide more proactive and sustainable care for the patients in their communities.

MedMe has the two largest pharmacy chains in Canada as clients; we are servicing over 4000 pharmacies, and we power over 14 million patient services. We played a critical role across the country throughout the pandemic in getting the larger population vaccinated. MedMe’s ultimate vision is to transform pharmacies from today’s dispensing locations to tomorrow’s health hubs.

MedMe has raised over $3.7M USD including from M12 (Microsoft’s Venture Fund), MaRS IAF, and Y-Combinator.

Our culture is defined by our core values—RICE: Rigorous, Impactful, Caring, and Elegant. We encourage curiosity and autonomy, focus on transformative impact in healthcare, champion open communication and collaboration, and strive for excellence through simplicity. Join our supportive and empowering team in our mission to reshape healthcare through innovation and creativity.

We are an equal opportunity employer, welcoming applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply.

The opportunity

Engineering Managers are strong technical and interpersonal leaders who want to make a large impact at MedMe. They are generally professionals on the People Management track with considerable software development experience. You will be responsible for managing a small team of software engineers and leading an Agile Pod to deliver software projects that advance MedMe’s mission to change the way people access healthcare.

Engineering Managers at MedMe can move fluidly from leading and mentoring others into the details of a particular technical problem. At MedMe Engineering, we value technical knowledge, communication, leadership, and judgement as core competencies. We ask our leaders to leverage these skills to help us achieve outcomes we align on across the different departments of our company. Put another way, we like to hire smart and responsible people, agree on clear goals and expectations, and then get out of the way.

Location & Timezone Requirement

We are fully remote in Canada, however, we like to plan on-site team retreats! Due to the nature of this role, we require at least a 5-hour overlap with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in your standard working hours.

We're looking for a passionate individuals in relentless pursuit of making an impact to join us on our journey in building the best platform for pharmacists as they shift from their dispensing based roles, to one that provides virtual care to chronically ill patients. Without adequate software and new workflows, we may see an entire workforce of 40,000 highly-trained clinicians (in Canada alone) slowly be phased out by robots and automation.

In addition to facilitating the transition for pharmacists to a new healthcare role based on their current education/training, MedMe is also for the first time capturing clinical pharmacy data with plans to integrate with health peripheral data (such as those from Fitbits and Apple Watches). This provides tremendous insights on the treatment journey of patients outside of the hospital, and opens up massive AI opportunities for: preventative medicine, insurance costs/ROI, pharmacological effectiveness, and healthcare consumer behaviours.
