New York, New York, United States
Our Mission
We’re building infrastructure for modern healthcare delivery.
Traditional healthcare is plagued with outdated, monolithic EHRs designed to maximize billing outcomes. Patient outcomes and provider experiences have been afterthoughts, as these systems have bolted on non-API-first solutions. None of this is built for how clinically excellent healthcare is actually delivered—longitudinally and collaboratively, with the patient at the center.
Healthie is the world’s leading API-first, ONC-Certified EHR for healthcare delivery outside of the hospital. We provide the powerful infrastructure every scaling organization needs—EHR, scheduling, patient engagement, billing, and more—all accessible via modern APIs and a white-labeled UI. Our platform makes it simple for organizations of any size to launch, customize, and scale their care delivery models without reinventing the wheel.
Today, over 2 billion API calls are made to Healthie every month, as thousands of organizations—working with more than 17 million patients in total—rely on Healthie to deliver clinically excellent healthcare in over 25 specialties, from preventative medicine to complex chronic care management.
We believe in the power of technology to improve access to healthcare—and we’re building the rails that make this a reality. We work fast and with quality because we provide business-critical, healthcare-critical software that clinicians and patients need for a better healthcare system.
We’re customer-obsessed, operate with lightning-fast processes and responses, make our product roadmap public so customers can see what we’re building, and remain relentlessly focused on how care gets delivered.
Healthie is backed by leading investors, and while we've $42M raised to date, more importantly, we operate with fiscal responsibility and have been profitable for more than half of our time as a company.

About the Role
The best automation engineers have the technical depth of a software engineer, the product instincts of someone who's lived in the codebase, and the empathy to always ask: what does this feel like for the person on the other end? That's what we're looking for.
This is an engineering-forward role. You'll work across our Ruby backend, React frontend, and React Native mobile app, building and maturing automated test coverage, reducing friction in our CI/CD pipelines, and helping the team develop stronger quality instincts over time. We're in the middle of moving from a Capybara/Selenium foundation to a modern Playwright-based suite, and this person will help shape where that goes. We use AI tools as a genuine force multiplier, and we expect the same from you.
At Healthie, we are increasingly AI-enabled and AI-accelerated in how we build. We are looking for team members who actively leverage AI-powered development tools, embrace automation, and help teams adopt modern, AI-assisted engineering practices to increase velocity and quality.
