Our commitment to fostering an exceptional workplace culture has earned us notable recognitions, including being listed as a Great Place to Work in both the technology and healthcare sectors. Join us in our mission to empower healthcare innovators and improve healthcare differently.

Let’s talk stack

Our mobile stack consists mainly of React Native applications, written in Typescript with Redux, with some Native iOS and Android elements. Our back-end applications for data operations are based on different types of architecture exposing REST services, via microservices or monolithic applications in Ruby on Rails. As quality is central to our principles, all this code is tested using frameworks such as Jest, as well as end-to-end testing libraries and services. Finally, we firmly believe in a continuous deployment approach and have reached a high level of maturity in this respect, deploying code in multiple environments.
