BRIO | Remote-OK | Dir. or VP of Engineering

BRIO helps employers access Covid-19 testing to squash outbreaks before they claim lives and livelihoods. Pre-pandemic, we helped employers track chronic health issues via regular outpatient blood testing. Post-pandemic, we have a concrete plan to return to our prior work (TL;DR pre-pandemic work supports current work which supports post-pandemic work).

Team context: - Python 3, Flask, PostgreSQL, and Redis, running on AWS. Server-rendered HTML via Jinja, with Javascript and PostCSS.

- Currently 3 Sr. level engineers. Since it does not look like this problem is going away anytime soon, we’re building out the foundation for a permanent team

- In pure transparency, and by prior agreement, several of the current team members are not planning to stay long term

Key metrics: - >20 companies served including many in the food supply chain, and multiple outbreaks quashed. ~60% month-on-month growth

- We are in a position to make real contributions to the worlds understanding of how the disease spreads (e.g. partnering with researchers at Johns Hopkins)
