About Medflix - empowering healthcare professionals for better care
Medflix (www.medflix.app/app) is a platform where healthcare professionals (doctors, medical students and more) stay updated through live talks, Q&As, support material and more. Through the platform we believe that these professionals can be empowered to deliver better care to patients (like our families) throughout the globe.
In its current (and evolving) form, it is a live learning and engagement platform seeing tremendous week-on-week growth through stellar speakers and a very active early community. The product is in the growth stages and you will be playing a key role in steering the tech to create a scalable and lovable product experience.
We are backed by startup, VC and PE veterans including Kunal Shah (CEO, Cred), Raghunandan G (Zolve, ex-TFS), Avnish Mehra (Everstone) and more.
Medflix is a platform by PlexusMD (www.plexusmd.com/app), a network trusted and loved (4.4 stars on Playstore and 4.4 on Appstore) by more than 3 lakh doctors in India and working closely with leading healthcare providers and companies like AIIMS, Jaslok, Hinduja, Apollo, HCG, Elsevier, Association of Physicians of India, Indian Association of Cardio-thoracic surgeons, Society of Nuclear Medicine, Govt of Gujarat (HFW Dept), Govt of Haryana (SIFHW), McKinsey and company, Takeda, Mankind and others.
About the Role
Tech stack (expertise in all is not required, experience in some will be sufficient):
- React / Next.js (required, at least 1 year of experience)
- Express.js (required, at least 1 year of experience)
- Familiarity with cloud services (gcp / azure / aws)
- PostgreSQL (or expertise in any relational database)
- Redis
- Docker/Kubernetes deployment (good to have)
For this role we are looking for engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset, an understanding of how startups operate and who like to get their hands dirty when unknown things come their way. You will work closely with the product team to prioritise and ship features with a predictable cadence.
As this role is full-stack, you need to have a good understanding of frontend design and be obsessed with responsiveness and pixel-perfect behaviour. On the backend side, an OCD for efficiency and optimisation is a required personality trait.
Demonstrated history of solving hard problems (frontend/backend or both) is a great-to- have.
Benefits and growth
While we ensure competitive compensation (plus ESOP options for deserving candidates), at Medflix, you will also have a strong say in how final solutions look. You will get the opportunity to learn to steer an accelerating rocket ship.
College credentials, background or years of experience are no bar for growth inside the company for enthusiasts who believe in our mission and demonstrate that passion to create a product that healthcare workers love.

What you will do:
● Design and build features for our web applications — front end and back end, using Ruby on Rails, Python, JavaScript, and React
● Work across the stack: databases, APIs, and the plumbing that connects them
● Take a feature from first line to shipped — you'll touch every phase of the build, not just one slice of it
● Test for performance, security, and the edge cases that actually break things in production
● Work directly with the rest of the team on shared infrastructure, not off in a corner
● Push for better tools and approaches as the codebase grows, instead of settling for "it's always been done this way
What you need
● 0-1 years of professional experience building with Ruby on Rails, Java, Python, JavaScript/React, or Node
● Comfortable with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and jQuery on the front end
● A real grip on data structures and algorithms — not just the interview-prep version
● Solid object-oriented design instincts
● You'd rather write simple, clean code than clever code
● Comfortable with relational databases day-to-day
● Working knowledge of NoSQL is a plus, not a requirement
● Some interest in the math and stats side of finance helps — you don't need to be an expert.
Also running in production here — OPTIONAL / NICE TO KNOW You won't be hired against this list. Prior exposure is a genuine plus, and you'll bump into these once you're in — but not knowing them isn't a blocker.
● Rust — pricing & risk engines
● Go — auth & billing services
● AWS Lambda
● API Gateway
● Redis
● DynamoDB
● CI/CD pipelines

About the client
The client is building a suite of SaaS products for websites—products with clear product-market fit, strong customer pull, and the potential to become $100M+ businesses.
As they grow, they need engineers who go beyond feature delivery. They are looking for backend developers who want to build enduring systems, make practical decisions, and help us ship great products with high velocity.
What You’ll Do
- Work with product, design, and support teams to turn real customer problems into thoughtful, scalable solutions.
- Design and build robust backend systems, services, and APIs that prioritize long-term maintainability and performance.
- Use AI-assisted tooling (where appropriate) to explore solution trees, accelerate development, and reduce toil.
- Improve velocity across the team by building reusable tools, abstractions, and internal workflows—not just shipping isolated features.
- Dig into problems deeply—whether it's debugging a performance issue, streamlining a process, or questioning a product assumption.
- Document your decisions clearly and communicate trade-offs with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
What Makes You a Strong Fit
- You’ve built and maintained real-world software systems, ideally at meaningful scale or complexity.
- You think in systems and second-order effects—not just in ticket-by-ticket outputs.
- You prefer well-reasoned defaults over overengineering.
- You take ownership—not just of code, but of the outcomes it enables.
- You work cleanly, write clear code, and make life easier for those who come after you.
- You’re curious about the why, not just the what—and you’re comfortable contributing to product discussions
Bonus if You Have Experience With
- Building tools or workflows that accelerate other developers.
- Working with AI coding tools and integrating them meaningfully into your workflow.
- Building for SaaS products, especially those with large user bases or self-serve motions.
- Working in small, fast-moving product teams with a high bar for ownership.
How’s the team?
- Open and flat hierarchy
- High-agency work with a get-stuff-done attitude
- Teams that focus on creating wins - for the org, the team and yourself - all fuelled by mentorship and empowerment
Our Culture
Some values we’ve lived by over these last 14 years:
We think like inventors.
>Invent the answer you wish existed. If it already exists, ask how it could exist better.<
We build for the love of it. And we build the best.
We don’t just copy and paste. We start from first principles—frame the problem, question the default, ship, improve, repeat—until it’s world-class.
Every version and experiment is a chance to push past our comfort zone and hone our craft. It isn’t easy—it takes patience and persistence—but it ends in work we’re proud of.
Ownership builds a rocket ship.
>It’s not the hours you put in your work that count; it’s the work you put in the hours.<
We’re here to build the business. When we see a problem, we own it end‑to‑end. We pull in the right people, ask for help early, track just enough to finish, and close the loop. We focus on what moves the needle, cut low‑impact work, and push hard when it counts—then recover.
That focus builds subject mastery. It helps get in the flow. It fuels passion and can spark healthy friction—and that’s all part of the game. We make a fuss when it matters, and once a call is made, we commit to it fully—whether we all agree or disagree.
Step up to stand tall.
>Greatness is a moving target.<
Chase excellence in your craft and take on bigger problems. Grow into a full-stack problem-solver and leader—whatever your domain. Improve with intent, work with people who push you, and never get too comfortable. That’s how we level up.
