Project description: Avenga is currently hiring a Principal Ruby Engineer to join our product development team that develops a communication tool for the healthcare industry for our American customer. The platform makes it easy for doctors to communicate with their patients and with each other. It is already used by many US clinics to provide a positive patient experience and simplify administrative workflow.

There are additional requirements for medical information, so security is an additional challenge in design and development. For this reason, it makes the engineering process especially interesting. You will be able to take decisions about the product and technical strategy every day. We will help with the balance between effort and effect!

At Avenga, we’re committed to our projects, customers, having fun, and most importantly to each other’s success.
