Job Description Maisha Meds is hiring! We’re seeking an engineering manager to manage our wonderful engineers to build technology to improve healthcare in Africa. About Maisha Meds Maisha Meds is an organization dedicated to improving health care in Africa through best-in-class technology. 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.
