Base Career helps you apply smarter for this job.
We are seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to help build and scale our foundational platforms – the healthcare database of the future that no one has yet built.
Your team will tackle some of the most complex and high-impact technical challenges in healthcare: how to ingest, store, and serve intrinsically graph-like data at global scale, and how to ensure that entities only see the data dimensions they are authorized to access. You’ll think from first principles, prototype and productionize novel solutions, and develop a truly heterogeneous data lake that stores the world’s multi-modal healthcare data.
This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about solving hard, unsolved challenges. No prior experience in health tech is required.
Our healthcare system remains frustratingly analog. When you live in a world of one-tap car rides, instant meal delivery, and unlimited streaming, why do you still have to call to schedule a doctor’s appointment and fill out a clipboard in the waiting room?
NexHealth’s mission is to accelerate innovation in healthcare by connecting patients, providers, and developers. We’re building the infrastructure layer for modern healthcare, connecting thousands of fragmented, on-premise, and closed EHR systems into a single, modern platform that powers software, APIs, payments, and patient experiences across the ecosystem.
Founded: 2017
Headquarters: San Francisco, CA
Funding: $177M Series C
Employees: 200+
Trusted by tens of thousands of providers and hundreds of health-tech developers — forging the infrastructure layer that modern healthcare needs

Solve the customer’s problems, not yours When making decisions, think from the perspective of the customer. It’s easy to make decisions that make our lives simpler, but not the customers.
Do the things others are not willing to do As a Nexer, always go after the hardest problems. Pursue things at the highest quality. Move at the fastest pace.
Take ownership Act like a founder. Own your roles, destinies, mistakes, behavior, and our mission. The buck stops with each of us - no blaming or excuses.
Say what’s on your mind, with positive intent Be direct, proactive, transparent, and frequent in your communication.
Default trust As a Nexer, you do not have to earn trust, trust is given to you by default. If we by default trust each other, our speed of communication, feedback, information sharing, and overall improvements will be a lot faster.
Think in first principles We first identify the problem and then break it down to its fundamentals before diving into solutions. We constantly ask “why” to validate our assumptions.
