Lead Analytics Engineer Remote

Nearly half of patients needing medical equipment at discharge don’t get it in time. The ordering process is convoluted and is still primarily handled by fax, leading to higher costs and poorer patient outcomes. Parachute Health aims to ensure every patient gets what they need when they need it by driving efficiency through digital connectivity across the ordering process.

We’re leading the charge with a platform that is ten times faster than the status quo. We connect with major hospitals, payors, and suppliers of life-saving products. Our vision is a “delightfully simple” digital ordering experience for clinicians and we are transforming the world of post-acute care.

We’ve built a strong network of clinicians, suppliers, health plans, and patients and are ready to amplify our story in a bigger, more systematic way. That’s where you come in.
