Our Mission

Short-staffing hurts healthcare workers, facilities and patients. Fixing that is our mission.

As many as 90% of registered nurses have considered quitting the profession next year if critical workplace issues like short-staffing aren’t resolved, according to this study. This crisis touches us all, because we all need healthcare.

Clipboard Health exists to solve the problem of short-staffed facilities and to lift as many people up the socio-economic ladder as possible. To do this, we've created an efficient and transparent marketplace for healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals to fill shifts.

‣

Our Engineering Culture

Our mission is to maintain seed-stage speed as we grow, and to solve harder and harder problems.

We have a culture of removing roadblocks. Every engineering hire is chosen because we trust them enough to give them responsibility. We make sure that CBH team members empower each other by building a culture of helpfulness. If someone else’s input is needed to get unblocked, we make sure that happens same day.

‣

Your Future Team

Between the time you sign and the time you join Clipboard Health things will have changed quite a bit already because we tend to move really fast all the time.

We are currently around 100 engineers in the engineering organization and just for the next quarter, we are planning to grow by an additional 70 people.

So, we will only be able to tell you a couple of days before your joining date or even on the spot on which team you are going to start your journey at Clipboard Health. As mentioned before, things are moving very fast here and we see many people switching teams and challenges on a regular basis.

So instead of telling you which team you are going to join precisely, let us shed more light on how the product and engineering organization is set up.

We have 4 working groups:

Worker Group: Focused on solving problems for the nurses and healthcare professionals.
Workplace Group:Ā Focused on solving problems for the healthcare facilities.
Marketplace Group:Ā Focused on how we match healthcare facilities and nurses and their shifts.
Platform Group: Focused on our core services, setting up the DevOps and SRE function in the organization, but also all the internal tooling enabling all the engineers at Clipboard Health to be more productive.

How the teams are structured:

Teams typically consist of 2 to 5 engineers and include a:

Tech lead: The guardian of technical excellence within the team, but they also own short-term deliverables such as the sprint deliverables and estimates.
Dedicated Product Manager: Represents the customer (even though you should get on the phone with customers very often), managing the tickets and helping the team prioritize, which features to work on.
EmbeddedĀ QA Engineer: Helps drive quality within the team itself so that everyone owns the quality, taking Ā on manual and automation tests, mostly end to end testing.

Your Hiring Manager

Charles Ahmadzadeh, Engineering Manager

ā€Four years ago, I co-founded a start-up and from then until recently I worked there in the capacity of CTO and founder.

We had a rocky start (like a lot of startups!), but just in the last four or five months found product-market fit.

At the same time, we got a team in place that can execute by themselves, which freed me up to do more and look at new opportunities.ā€

‣

Your Ideal Background

You like fast-moving startups, having worked at one or more before
Familiar with modern open source technologies like: Next.js (Express.js/React), Tailwind UI, Flutter, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker.
Experienced in developing, monitoring, and maintaining web/microservices, REST APIs, mobile & web apps that interface with said APIs, on AWS (or similar).
12+ years experience

Interview Process

‣

1. Application Review

We’re seeking an experienced and zealous Principle Software Engineer who has experience scaling frontend and backend code, understanding complex technical areas and building efficient, reusable systems that drive complex web and mobile applications. You would be running our full software development lifecycle, from problem definition and design to development, testing, demoing and supporting production use of features you own.

This first step of the interview process involves us looking at anything and everything you’ve shared that demonstrates your experience and ability to do all those things. We want to make sure you are a good fit for us and that we are a good fit for you, so we read deeply to try to learn everything we can.

‣

2. Short take-home test (˜1h)

In our engineering recruiting, we go directly to a short take-home test. We front-load this in the process because it’s often a make-or-break step, and we want to make the best use of your time before putting you through a series of interviews. This take-home test gives you a choice between a frontend or backend exercise, then cuts you loose to show us how you work.

‣

3. Team Interviews

Once the take-home test is cleared, we immediately put you in an interview with a few team members, then a hiring manager.

In those interviews you will:

  • Get hands-on during a live coding session (1st interview)
  • Have a follow-up discussion on the work you submitted in your take-home test (2nd interview)

In the Hiring Manager interview:

  • Dig deep into a technical problem you’ve encountered in the past, and how you’ve approached it
  • Talk about how you lead and manage teams, approach hiring, and build high-performance culture for teams delivering high quality at unreasonable speed

Usually, we manage to get all of these interviews done in just a matter of days.

‣

4. Leadership Interview

We set very high standards for everyone at Clipboard Health. In this interview with Bo, our COO, you’ll have a detailed discussion about:

  • How you set standards for yourself and drive your own work
  • Your relationship with data, especially as it relates to how you learn about problems and adjust to new/changing needs
  • Talk about particularly hard problems you’ve solved
  • How you interact with other teams when you are blocked, and how you go about unblocking others
  • Your expectations and needs regarding the position and what you expect from a workplace
  • Specifics about how you’d tackle various hypothetical problems

‣

5. Offer

If everything looks good at that point, we make an offer as soon as we can - often same-day.

‣

FAQ

‣

What is your culture like?

The culture of a company comes down to what you reward.

At Clipboard Health, we reward speed, a focus on the customer, and the ability to write clearly. We reward curiosity, initiative and ownership. We reward honest, constructive criticism, and the ability to have hard conversations.

‣

Can I work remote?

Yes, off course! In fact you have to 😃. We are

, don’t have an office and probably never be owning one.

‣

What about the timezone offsets/working hours?

There’s no silver bullet answer, and it mostly comes down to which teams you will work with. We try to build teams that are co-located timezone wise, but expect everyone to have at least a few hours of overlap with the PST timezone for company meetings (even if we keep those minimal). Aside from this, you’re free to organize your time at your own will, as long as your online presence is predictable and people know how/when they can reach you.

‣

How are teams structured at Clipboard?

We work in Engineering pods, composed by 2-6 engineers, at least one SDET and a Product Manager. Those Engineering Pods are attached to Product Groups, working on solving specific customer problems for workers, workplaces, or the marketplace itself.

‣

How often do you release to production?

For our largest part of the codebase, we release to production twice a week. For our mobile apps, the updates are slightly less frequent to avoid ā€œspamming updatesā€. Newer products/microservices have their own release schedule and often ship more than once a week.
