We are a team of 15 people, some of us are based in Brussels (Belgium), others across Europe, Asia, and the USA. We are backed by LocalGlobe, Moonfire, and others. We are looking for open-minded people who are committed to continuously improving themselves and the world around them. Our culture is one of responsibility, high productivity, and genuine feedback.About The RoleAs a Software Engineer, you will be an early member of our engineering team, helping us to build the best CareOps platform in the world. Our platform is burgeoning and we are continually bringing on new customers, which means some projects will be broad in scope and you will be given lots of latitude, while other projects will be optimizations measured in ms.You’ll be working with a world-class product development team and many times directly with customers who want to change healthcare for the better. We believe in cross-functional & empowered teams, so together with product and design you will solve problems and not just execute tasks that were given to you.

We expect you’ll learn a lot working here. You’ll take part in our bi-weekly SODOTO sessions (“see one, do one, teach one”) and knowledge-share with teammates; you’ll hack away at problems during one of our offsites; you’ll perform discovery on new features; you’ll learn about Awell’s customers and the problems they’re looking to solve.Our goal is that when you decide to move on from your journey with Awell, you’ll look back fondly at your time knowing it was very well spent, you’ll have made some great colleagues and/or friends, and you’ll feel a drive to “pay it forward” and coach others so they can also find fulfillment in their work the way you did.Finally, As a Software Engineer, There Might Be Some Additional Pages In The Awell Handbook That Might Be Of Interest To You

Interview process” It Consists OfGoing through interviews at a bunch of companies can be exhausting & stressful. We believe our interview process strikes a nice balance between “hire slowly” and “move quickly.
- A 25-minute screening;
- A short (250-word) written interview, usually followed by a couple back-and-forth emails;
- A 45-60 minute technical interview (problem-solving, not “leet-code”)
- Our “virtual onsite” (2 panel interviews and an interview with someone from the leadership team)
- Final interview with our CEO
To Give You a Couple Of Statistics (these May Change)In total, it’s about 6 hours of interview time. Including the additional time you may take reviewing our company materials, or those of our competitors, that could be 8-10 hours of your time.
- About one out of every four people who have participated in our virtual onsite have joined our team
- About half of the folks who have spoken with our CEO have joined our team
We assign a very high value to the time we put into our interview process, and we look forward to meeting you. Thank you for your time and consideration!Hiring ManagerJonathan Belangerhttps://linkedin.com/in/jbbelanger
