About Us

At Teton, we are redefining the role of healthcare workers through cutting-edge AI technology. Facing a global nursing shortage, our solutions offer vital support to overburdened health systems. We are experiencing rapid growth, patient and residents across 4 countries already benefiting from our technology. We distinguish ourselves by focusing relentlessly on product excellence and user experience, rapidly deploying solutions that make a real difference.

We require a physical presence in our office in Copenhagen, Denmark. We believe this enables the fastest and most efficient iteration cycles to build an impactful product that users love to use.

We want builders who move at extreme speed while maintaining quality. If are not ready to work more than 9-17 this isn't for you. We are well funded and offer significant stock options.


What will you build

Our system comprises thousands of devices that supply patient and resident data based on our AI models. With every new device we deploy, there is a slight increase in load on our central system. You will make sure we are always able to keep up with this increasing demand. You will be part of the team building the bridge between our AI devices and the database and API that our app developers consume.


You have previously (we currently use)

  • made scalable ingestion pipelines (rabbitmq, mqtt)

  • optimised and scaled Postgres databases by studying query plans and restructured schemas (RDS, Clickhouse)

  • worked with type-safe languages (Rust, Typescript)

  • experienced the trade-offs between horizontal and vertical scaling

  • built pristine APIs or SDKs that make consumers self-driven in creating new solutions (ts-rest, openapi)

  • worked with infrastructure as code and cloud providers (Pulumi, AWS)

  • worked in a team applying site-reliability engineering or DevOps in some shape or form (Grafana, Victoriametrics)


You know

  • that good communication skills are essential, both toward customers, sales, compliance and other developers

  • your personal preferences can change in conversation with other bright developers

  • how to learn new programming languages, libraries and technologies

  • caching is hard

  • performance optimisation without measuring is guessing

  • how transaction boundaries affect the design of a distributed system

  • when to apply schemas and when to relax the requirements

  • how to recognise when a new shiny tool is just good marketing

  • you will probably not use all the technology you read about, but you can't help yourself searching for a better solution


What We Offer

  • Stock options

  • Work with state-of-the-art technology in a pioneering field

  • Impact the future of healthcare

  • No politics, minimum meetings, meritocratic organisation of do’ers
