Must have

Nice to have
- Experience in healthcare technology, IDD services, assisted living, behavioral health, long-term care, or medication management, or another regulated environment
- Experience with enterprise, government, or state agency customers, including procurement and reporting requirements

About Our Client
Our client builds software and connected hardware that makes medication management safer for vulnerable populations in group homes, supported living, assisted living, behavioral health, and long-term care. In these settings, a large share of medication administration is handled by non-clinical staff working from paper, spreadsheets, and memory.
Their platform combines eMAR+ software, Smart Medboxes, emergency kits, and gamified self-medication tools into one connected system that prevents errors before they happen rather than documenting them after. They support providers, state agencies, and pharmacy partners across 20+ states, and recently won the first statewide medication management contract of its kind in the United States.
Their results so far:
- 48% reduction in medication errors
- 39% increase in compliance
- 69% improvement in audit-ready documentation
💜 This company was built around a cause that is both personal and urgent. That authenticity shows in how they operate, who they hire, and what they build. If you are looking for work that matters — this is it.
