Engineering Director, Feegow (100% remote-friendly within Brazil)

  • Full-time

Company Description

Welcome to the good side of tech 👋

You might have heard about us but with a different name: Feegow, Doctoralia or Docplanner. The names are different depending on the country we are located in, but we are all part of Docplanner Group.

It all started over 12 years ago when we asked ourselves: is anyone in healthcare thinking about patients? We jumped in and we empowered patients by giving them access to leave and read reviews about their visit. We then provided doctors with the technology to manage bookings easily and save time, so they could devote themselves to what they always wanted: treating patients. And today is the day in which we ask you: wanna join us in the next step of making the healthcare experience more human?

Where does Feegow fit here?  

In 2022 Feegow joined the Docplanner Group, a health-tech company. We are dedicated to developing innovative solutions and promoting access to top-tier management for physicians seeking to take their practices to the next level, as well as managers in search of a robust solution that covers end-to-end operations. Our ultimate goal is to create a world where everyone can access high-quality healthcare. 

Docplanner Group at scale

We are leaders in 13 countries so far, and more than 90 million patients trust us every month. 300.000 specialists believe in us and our product, and so do leading venture capital funds such as Point Nine Capital, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, and One Peak Partners. And yet, employing over 3.000 people all over the globe, we managed to keep the startup-mindset we started with over 12 years ago.

And why should you join us?

Because it feels good to tell your family and your friends how you made the world a little bit better. You go to bed knowing that what you do matters, and that your talents align with your beliefs.

We want to make the healthcare experience more human, and that starts with you being you. We believe that considering the diversity of human experience makes a better healthcare experience for all. We’re not just different: we embrace diversity. We will encourage you to come to work your whole self, and that includes not coming to the office at all if you prefer not to, as we're 100% remote-friendly.
