Navio builds software tools that help cancer patients and their doctors navigate to a better standard of care. Ultimately, we’ll change the narrative around highly lethal cancers like Glioblastoma, where standard treatment offers no hope.
Navio’s software helps patients understand their treatment, track their progress and response, and provides a streamlined treatment calendar, allowing them to feel less overwhelmed and more in control. For physicians, Navio helps improve patient understanding of and compliance with their treatment plan. With visibility into the complete patient journey, Navio will provide researchers access to a unique dataset for finding novel relationships that will lead to better care for all.
We combine modern technologies, like Kotlin, Scala, Java, Javascript, React, GraphQL and Elasticsearch with AWS services and deploy them on Docker and serverless platforms in an event-based architecture. We offer competitive benefits and stock options in a fast paced environment.
Navio is looking for senior or lead backend engineers who will help architect and own development of software and services for patients and providers, and who will grow over time with Navio into team leadership. Working in collaboration with the head of engineering, product managers, frontend leads, and data scientists, they will be responsible for the core event-driven services architecture that underlays Navio’s products.
