New York - Full time or intern Rails devs

Aidin's mission is to bring transparency to the healthcare system and empower patients with data to make more informed decisions on where they receive care. We're backed by the best institutional investors in both consumer internet http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/15/aidin-seed-round/. Aidin was born out of Blueprint Health (3% acceptance rate), a Techstars affiliated healthcare IT accelerator. We're surrounded by amazing talent as we currently reside in Dogpatch Labs (http://dogpatchlabs.com/), a highly selective co-working space housing the best startups in New York.

As a software engineer on a small team, you'll touch on every aspect of the technology related to the company. It’s a broad job description and we’re looking for someone who loves being part of a fast-paced, constantly evolving work environment where your opinions and decisions will seriously affect our technical direction. We’re looking for a technology generalist with interest in specializing as necessary - It's more important that you love learning and can adopt new languages/frameworks/APIs very quickly.

There are few companies poised to actually make an impact on people's lives, but Aidin is one of them. Join a team of people committed to leave a lasting impression on a part of healthcare that one day, we too will rely on. We couldn't be any more excited about what we're doing, and so is the tech community! http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/10/meet-the-three-most-fund-ab...
