OVERVIEW OF REACH52 AND OUR WORK

reach52 (R52) is a fast growing, social enterprise start-up working to bring sustainable, universal basic healthcare services to users in low-access, developing regions. We do this through an innovative service model, an off-line technology platform and embedding support within communities to help residents access care, knowledge and other services we deliver.

Our mission is divided in to two parts: community access, navigation and healthcare support on the one side; and ultra-low-cost fill-in services to sustain the solution on the other. This allows core healthcare services and treatments to reach further into communities where state of the art services don’t always get to. Our fill-in services allow treatments for life threatening conditions to be accessed reliably and with continuity, so minimising the risk of relapse or crippling financial problems. At the current time our income comes from grant funding and the value of our data services. This, together with other funding streams, provides a sustainable solution so that the services become embedded in the communities we serve.

OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE

In 2019, reach52 was been awarded funding from a major bank to grow into India. We would like tohire a highly motivated Junior Software Engineer to support the designing and delivery of enterprise solutions, applications and integrations in India. India is a new market for us, and we are rapidly expanding our userbase and need to continue to build our portfolio of integrated applications that work in a challenging, off-line environment. We currently use document databases to replicate data between a master and the off-line applications. We have extended workflows that mean our processes flow through Java/Kotlin applications on android and through web technologies depending on the access channel. We support interactions with communities, commercial, logistics and police offices. We need extend our support for internationalisation and localisation and to integrate external services such as local payment options to our commercial applications, together with access to data from third parties. The role will involve the continuing development of a cross application technology solution with emphasis on cost and productivity and existing investment. The candidate should be able to work well with the dev team based in Manila, Philippines.
