Description
Crescendo Health is a venture-backed startup from a seasoned team. We work with sponsors of clinical trials to accelerate medical innovation and fight disease.
The time has come to build a new generation of clinical research that makes use of real world health data, so that new treatments can be developed quickly and safely for those in need. and trial evidence reflects the diversity of our population
Our experienced team includes deep startup, healthcare, and clinical trials experience. Our CEO previously co-founded Datavant, a company that helps connect de-identified health data (merged with Ciox Health for >$7 billion in 2021). Our chief medical officer was previously Dean of Research at Stanford and Chief of General Medicine at Stanford; our Chief Medical Informatics Officer led informatics at the VA. We have experience from places like BlackSky, Zillow, Quartet Health, Included Health, Opower, Castlight, Canvas Medical, and more. We recently raised substantial funding from top-tier investors and are expanding our team.
As we grow, we’re looking to bring on someone who will take ownership of large areas of our product and code base, with a focus on fullstack, product-focused engineering. We’re looking for someone comfortable with both frontend and backend work, who will deeply understand the breadth of our systems and lead us to effective end-to-end solutions and technical decisions, while helping us build our team processes and culture.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has experience building products from the ground up - at early stage startups or greenfield projects within a larger company
- Cares about the people our products support, and is motivated by the opportunity to improve patient outcomes by increasing the pace of medical innovation
- Is eager to lead and serve as technical expert on a wide range of product and technical surface area. There are opportunities for ownership based on experience and interest — we’re looking for someone who is able to understand technical challenges end-to-end
- Takes ownership and initiative; looks to deeply understand intended impact or why something is broken, identifies the right solution, and drives it to completion
- Understands business context and focuses on solving the right problems
- Will help us grow smartly, including assessing the feasibility of new initiatives, identifying the resources we need to build successfully, and helping us attract and hire top-tier teammates
Nice-to-haves:
- Experience working in high security industries such as finance or healthcare
- Experience working with health data or in the health industry
- Experience working with AWS infrastructure
The Team
We’re a small and focused engineering team that values curiosity, high impact, and kindness. We’re big on open communication, resolving recurring issues quickly, and building quickly & iteratively but with sustainable infrastructure in mind. We’re looking for people who are motivated to help build a great organization and culture. There is potential to advance into a management position, if desired, as we grow.
We are a remote first engineering team. We have regular team check-ins and don’t hesitate to get together to collaborate when it’s helpful. We have regular company retreats, and even when we’re not together, you can expect game nights and other group activities for team collaboration.
Tech Stack
Our frontend is a monorepo with several distinct projects; all of which use React, Typescript, and Mobx. Our backend is a Python Flask app. We also use SQLAlchemy, postgresql and an AWS-based infrastructure.
