Full Stack Engineer

About Medblocks Medblocks is building a developer-focused “

stack for healthcare ” that makes it possible for anyone to build applications that integrate directly with clinical workflows without rebuilding expensive Electronic Medical Records systems. We believe code has the potential to save more lives than doctors can by themselves. Founded by doctors-turned-programmers, our team leverages open, vendor-neutral standards like openEHR, FHIR, SMART, and SNOMED CT to create a platform that makes healthcare data accessible, interoperable, and useful.

Our Culture At Medblocks, we operate with three core values:

• Trust : We trust you’ll get your work done without micromanagement. We don’t enforce working hours or monitor your activity—we measure outcomes, not outputs.
• Transparency : We believe information flow is at the heart of a healthy company. We share detailed financials and metrics with our team and maintain open communication about company direction.
• Customer Value & Honesty : We’re obsessively focused on delivering value to our customers and maintaining honest relationships about what our technology can and cannot do. We’re a team that values deep work, clear communication, and continuous learning. We’re building technology that matters, and we’re looking for individuals who want their code to make a difference in healthcare.
