Ruby on Rails Engineer (Fully Remote, US)

Remote - US Full Time Mid Level

Published on February 28, 2024

Hi, we’re Within3. For life science companies, few things are more important than selecting and engaging with key experts, from doctors to payers to patients. But compliance constraints abound, time is of the essence, and choosing experts from around the world and engaging them across multiple time zones and languages means that the old way of hosting conversations—virtual or not—poses massive logistical problems. And once those engagements are complete, life science teams are still challenged to collate, interpret, and share the results with internal and external stakeholders. At each of these inflection points, there’s an insight gap—and it’s wasting years of time and billions of dollars. We built Within3 to fix this. And while we were building it, we saw an opportunity to do more—a chance to make conversations with experts richer and more valuable in the process. So we kept building. We created a better way to find the right experts for every conversation and designed systems to foster more active discussions, so companies could uncover critical insights faster. We developed translation features to allow for more efficient global engagement. We created tools for compliance and security. And we capitalized on the power of AI to help teams sort through the noise, focus on scientific and market signals, and make faster decisions to drive their projects forward. In everything we did, we worked toward a common goal: To help life science teams get more value from every engagement so they can move quickly to deliver life-changing therapies to patients around the world. And that goal still drives us today.
