Lead Software Engineer - Medcruit : Job Details

New York City (NY) Hybrid (Tuesday-Thursday in Manhattan Office) ? Full-Time About Us Nurses are the largest sector of the healthcare workforce, yet the least invested in and the least technologized. Amid a record nursing shortage and three years of unprecedented turnover, health systems lack the data, insights, tools, and operational know-how to foster the flexibility, predictability, and autonomy that the modern nurse demands. We are a nursing workforce management platform built for health systems. Our tools allow nurses to customize their roles, health systems to consistently and predictably staff their units, and patients to receive care they need. We recently closed a $1.75m round led by 25m Health, have pilots in motion at two major health systems, and are supported by Harvard Business School's Blavatnik Fellowship.
