Senior Data Engineer
Who We Are and Why Join Us
At OnMed our purpose is simple but powerful...to improve the quality of life and sense of well-being in our communities by bringing access to healthcare to everyone, everywhere. Our path to everywhere has already begun, with our innovative CareStation, a small but mighty, Clinic-in-a-Box, bringing #healthcareaccess anywhere with an outlet to plug it in. Poised to become a key component in America’s public health infrastructure, the OnMed CareStation is the only tech-enabled, human-led, hybrid care solution that combines the comprehensive experience, trust and outcomes of a clinic, with the rapid scalability of virtual care.
At OnMed, every role, every day, is directly impacting the communities we serve. You’ll join a high-performing purpose-driven team, innovating to break down the barriers that keep people from the care they need.
This is not just a job… it’s a movement to bring healthcare where and when people need it most. It’s healthcare that shows up.
