Senior Full Stack Engineer

📍 Remote | Full-Time 👋 About Us Medify is a mission-driven EdTech company widening access to medicine and healthcare careers. Our platform supports thousands of learners preparing for high-stakes admissions exams, and our engineering team plays a critical role in delivering reliable, scalable, and high-quality learning experiences. Medify Engineering is a team of ten engineers across two teams, and everyone is hands on, including engineering management and the CTO, which helps us keep our processes practical and engineer-friendly. We work to minimise meetings: engineers typically have a 15-minute daily standup for in-progress updates and quick alignment with Product, plus (per two-week sprint) a one-hour refinement with Product, a one-hour planning session with engineering, and a 30-minute company-wide demo. Operational work like deployments, bug triage, and on-call is handled on a rotation, with each person covering one week roughly every two months. 🎯 The Role As a Senior Full Stack Engineer at Medify, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our platform and technical direction.
