Founded in 2017, Maisha Meds has created the largest digital network of private pharmacies and clinics across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, and Zambia through our mobile software. Our platform not only helps these providers improve business by making sales, managing inventory, and tracking patients. It also reimburses them for providing high-quality care for malaria, family planning, and HIV prevention at discounted costs.
Maisha Meds logs millions of patient visits every year and has provided hundreds of thousands of reimbursements to date. We harness data from our network of pharmacies and clinics to reveal health and market trends, which allows us to design better solutions that work for the people we serve. We have worked with leading academic institutions such as UC Berkeley, Emory University, and KEMRI to evaluate the effectiveness of our programs. Research shows that our system is able to significantly increase the uptake of long-acting contraceptives and appropriate malaria case management.
Our work is funded by a range of partners including scale-up funding from USAID Development Innovation Ventures and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This will help Maisha Meds greatly expand its mobile software to 7,500 total pharmacies and clinics by late 2026, delivering subsidized care to nearly a million new patients in the process.
What We’re Looking For
Maisha Meds builds a point-of-sale Android app for pharmacies to track their sales and manage their inventory. On top of the Android app, we have a layer of features to help us administer programs so that patients visiting pharmacies can receive subsidized medication. We also built a suite of web-based back office tools to help our operational staff manage the subsidy programs.
We’re looking for an engineer to join our engineering team, and lead development for new and exciting features.
The ideal candidate has:
• 4+ years of building quality applications
• A history of writing clean and well-documented code with automated tests
• Experience in building REST APIs
• Ability to scope large, abstract problems to small, concrete tasks
• Managed production deployments and owned infrastructure
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work well with a culturally diverse team (we’re a mix of folks based in Kenya, Europe, and North America)
• Experience building systems for environments with limited or intermittent Internet connectivity is a plus
Our preferred technologies:
• Ruby on Rails
• Android
• Vue.js
• AWS and Terraform
