Medplum

Medplum builds an open source, API-first electronic health record platform, used by leading digital health and life sciences companies to create, store and exchange clinical data. In a field long defined by closed systems and brittle integrations, the company's approach - treating the EHR as a programmable, standards-based layer rather than a fixed application - places it among the more technically ambitious undertakings in healthcare infrastructure.

The work sits at the intersection of several demanding disciplines: healthcare interoperability, API-first platform design, open source software engineering, and the privacy and security of health data. Engineers are therefore engaged with problems of genuine consequence and difficulty - making clinical data both more useful and more strictly protected - and their contributions are visible in a public codebase rather than confined to a proprietary stack.

Medplum describes its purpose as catalyzing change in healthcare by improving the access, privacy and utility of health data. Practically, that means work whose effects reach beyond software: faster medical research, improved patient access, and systems that other builders can extend openly. For engineers who want their craft to be both exacting and consequential, the platform offers a rare combination.
