Our products are now used by some of the country’s largest healthcare organizations.

Since our founding, we’ve been backed by impact investors and VCs - from Kapor Capital to Primary Venture Partners - and we’ve built a team that’s both diverse and mission driven. We enjoy meeting people who share in our commitment to agility, cultivating a thoughtful and safe work environment, and who are results focused. Individuals from marginalized and underrepresented communities are highly encouraged to get in touch.

About the Role

The Taxonomist will:

• Research (including user interviews), analyze, and design systems that address customer needs and concerns
• Work with stakeholders so they better understand the taxonomy process, workflows, and implementation frameworks
• Work with our team to create, implement, and manage taxonomies, clear term definitions, and relationships
