At Summer Health, we're reinventing the world of pediatric care with a unique vision: to place a doctor in every parent's pocket. With an innovative platform that connects parents to a pediatrician within 15 minutes, our commitment to healthcare is as uncomplicated as sending a text message. This formidable challenge of integrating healthcare, technology, and convenience presents our team with a wealth of engineering problems. However, our growth-minded, problem-solving approach helps us continually rise to these challenges.
Our Growth Mindset
Central to our engineering team's philosophy is a strong growth mindset. Everything we do is focused on continual improvement - whether it's our processes, our technology stack, conventions, or even our team dynamics. Every team member is encouraged to contribute to this process of evolution. From refining code, streamlining workflows or reducing meeting redundancies, every bit helps to ensure we operate at peak efficiency.
Problem Solvers, Not Just Delivery Engineers
Another key aspect that sets us apart is that we are not just "delivery engineers" – we're a problem-solving team. Our engineers play an integral role in the creative process, defining, understanding, and formulating solutions for the challenges we face. This mindset takes us beyond simply delivering a product; it turns us into innovators, continually reshaping our approach to ensure we provide the best pediatric care.
Diversity and Inclusion
We believe in the power of diversity and inclusivity. We strive to create an environment where all team members can show up as their authentic selves, contribute their unique perspectives, and feel valued. Our team members' diverse backgrounds and thoughts are not just appreciated - they're essential to our success. The richness of ideas, viewpoints, and experiences that stem from this diversity fosters innovation, drives creativity, and enables us to solve complex problems in novel ways.
High Collaboration, High Iteration
Our day-to-day is highly collaborative and iterative. We implement practices like continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment, encouraging engineers to merge multiple items to production daily. By breaking down features into smaller increments, we can rally around similar goals, accelerating our critical path quickly.
Pair programming is a cornerstone of our team culture, and we also place immense value on internal documentation to help each other understand ideas and align on conventions. We're always seeking ways to improve our productivity, and often, this means turning convention into automation so we can focus on the problems that matter most.
Into the Future
At Summer Health, we're leveraging technology and teamwork to transform pediatric care, bringing it to parents' fingertips. Our growth-minded, problem-solving engineering team is at the heart of this revolution, driving us forward, one line of code at a time. We're not just writing software; we're writing the future of pediatric care!
