Mission

Despite being ranked by the World Health Organization as a top 10 most disabling condition, having a lifetime prevalence of over 2%, and causing people to be 10 times more likely to die by suicide, OCD is commonly misrepresented as a personality quirk. Moreover, the "gold-standard" treatment for OCD called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) has never been widely-accessible.

NOCD provides evidence based care through ERP sessions with a NOCD specialist. Our company started after our [founders' own experience with OCD](https://theocdstories.com/episode/story-stephen-smith-nocd-f...) - trying to understand what was happening, going through various misdiagnoses, and finally working with an ERP specialist to get better.

Things you might do:

- Build a modern clinical EHR - help us bring great user experiences to the clinical setting

- Implement data pipelines on GCP as we work on research (https://www.treatmyocd.com/blog/columbia-university-medical-...)

- Work with internal support teams so they can offer the best experience to our members

- Simplify Billing + Insurance - Many people have used Stripe (which we use) but we’re bringing insurance billing to the modern age as well

- Lead a new product initiative - How can we help families be more involved in the treatment process for example

SimplePay | Ruby on Rails Developers | UTC+0 to UTC+8 | REMOTE | USD42k-USD60k

SimplePay is a profitable, bootstrapped online payroll software company, with solid annual growth. Our software lets thousands of small business owners (and their accountants) run their South African, Ireland, Singapore and Hong Kong payrolls without headaches, so they can focus on the challenge of building their businesses.

Our development team was already mostly remote pre-pandemic.

To find out more about us, check our developer blog (https://tech.simplepay.cloud) or about page (https://www.simplepay.co.za/about)

Do you believe most SPAs are a pile of steaming crap, but wouldn't mind digging into Vue.js for pages that will benefit from the increased interactivity? Do you laugh when people give up the power of PostgreSQL in favour of data stores that don't offer any benefits for their use case? If so, you may fit in well with our mindset.

Experience: Due to our full pipeline, we can only hire developers who have a few years of Rails experience at this time, or highly experienced polyglots who at least know some Ruby. The work is mostly on the back-end, but some front-end skills are welcome.

Location: UTC+0 to UTC+8

Please mail developers+hn@simplepay.cloud to apply. Your resume / CV must be attached in PDF format. Start your email body with the following 2 headers:

Timezone: Your timezone here

PR/Issue: A link to a PR or issue you've logged for an open source project, no matter how small or long ago.

A small feedback if you don't mind: you might be at disadvantage compared to other (most) remote companies who pay based on their HQ. Why would e.g. Romanian dev consider your "Romanian rate" offer when a competing German company offers a "German rate"?

Also, your subscription plans are the same for every country.
