In addition to the salary, there is opportunity for an annual bonus Our Culture The Clinic Is the Point Every clinic using our software is short-staffed, squeezed on reimbursement, and simply doing their best to keep patients alive. The better we do our work, the more they can focus on their patients. Never lose sight of who is on the other end of what we build and sell. How We Treat Each Other 01 Assume Positive Intent. The best teams start from a simple belief, that the person across from them wants the same good outcome they do. When that is the default, disagreements become conversations and conversations become progress. 02 Build Trust Every Day. Trust is the most valuable thing a team can build. It grows through small acts, showing up, following through, doing what you said you would. 03 Be Suitably Disagreeable. The greatest teams debate hard, push back with courage, and when a decision is made they commit completely, as if it were their own idea. 04 Speak Directly. Skip the Politics. There is something powerful about a team where people say what they mean, to the right person, at the right time. No side conversations. No corridor politics. How We Think 05 Keep Asking What We Could Become. The most exciting companies never stop asking what they could become. At our company the best version of us has not been built yet. 06 Know Your Craft. Deep domain expertise changes how you make decisions. You stop reacting to requests and start solving root problems. 07 Lead With Your Principles. The most memorable people are rarely the ones with the biggest titles. They are the ones whose principles are visible in everything they do. 08 Love What You Do. Tell Us If You Don't. When someone works at something they genuinely love, it shows. If that is not where you are, we would rather know and help. How We Operate 09 Own Your Role. Strengthen the Team. When every person brings their best to their piece of the work, the whole becomes more than the sum of its parts. 10 Spend Like It's Yours. The companies that last are the ones where every person thinks carefully about where time and money go. 11 Inform to Align. We have people across time zones, offices, and geographies. We protect that strength by communicating generously. 12 Name Waste When You See It. The best improvement ideas come from the people closest to the work. We practise Muda, the Japanese discipline of seeing waste clearly and naming it.
