Ilara Health Senior Full Stack Software Engineer Jobs in Kenya
Description of RoleAbout IlaraIlara was founded to bring diagnostic support and essential tests to patients and providers who currently are unable to access these basic life-saving tools.
We partner with companies that are disrupting the diagnostic device landscape, integrate their devices into our tech platform, and offer this diagnostic package plus smart financing to health facilities in peri-urban areas across Africa.
As a result, our facilities are now able to offer their patients essential tests through our affordable, tech-enabled, point of care (POC) diagnostic suite.
The suite of software services we are building as an overlay to the existing hardware-based platform will enable our facilities to reach a wider number of patients and drive patient engagement through what we call our closed loop patient management system.
This system includes patient and provider portals, automated care programs based diagnostic device results, and a remote care platform for clinics.
You’ll be joining a fast-paced startup environment and have an opportunity to make a large impact on Ilara’s product development at an early stage.
The work you do will have an impact on bringing better healthcare services to communities in peri-urban and rural areas of Kenya.
We’re all super passionate about the work we do, and are looking for people with a drive to make real change in the world! What will you be working on?
We’re looking for a well-rounded Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to work on all of the components of our stack - we have tons of work to do on our React front end, Kotlin/Spring healthcare modules, Node.js messaging platform.
To succeed in this role, you should be just as comfortable building beautiful front-end interfaces as you are driving back-end development.
We’re early stage, and flexible, so our approach is to have you work on what makes you the most excited!
You’ll be joining a small engineering team and be responsible for driving development of industry leading products and services.
As we grow, you’ll help build a dynamic and interesting engineering culture and assist in hiring a world-class team.
You’ll be working on software that has a real impact on the health outcomes of the people we serve, and play an instrumental role in helping Ilara achieve its goal of improving patient care across East Africa
About Ilara Health
Ilara Health was founded to make common diagnostics affordable and accessible to the 500m people in Africa who today struggle to access even simple diagnostic tests such as blood tests and ultrasound screening.
The problem is that primary care doctors cannot offer many diagnostics in their clinics so must refer patients. But given the infrastructure challenges in Africa (time and money it takes to get anywhere) patients
often do not go.
We solve this problem by partnering with companies using robotics and AI to create lower cost diagnostics, integrating their devices into our tech platform, and sell this bundle to doctors with financing. Doctors can now offer tests directly in their clinic, improving care and growing their revenue.
Ilara Health is live in multiple clinics across Nairobi and has just closed an investment round led by local and international investors to expand to a lot more clinics by the end of 2019.
