Ginger.io - Mobile Engineer - Downtown San Francisco - Full Time
Ginger.io is a small team on a big mission to drive better health outcomes. Our pioneering platform combines a mobile app that uses smartphone sensors to passively collect information about an individual’s daily behaviors with an analytics engine (based on research from MIT’s Media Lab) that turns that raw data into health insights.  We provide that information back to clinicians or loved ones who can act on it to ensure that at-risk patients receive the right care at the right time.
As we’ve grown, we’ve become part of the care solution at institutions such as Kaiser Permanente, Novant Health, UCSF, Duke Medical and Cincinnati Children's. In addition, Ginger.io has emerged as a leading voice in the conversation around bringing technology to behavioral health. Ginger.io is part of the Techstars network and is VC-backed by Khosla Ventures and True Ventures.
We come to work each day to revolutionize the way that care is delivered, and we'd love to have you join us.
