Senior Software Engineer - Platforms - Primefocus Health

Primefocus Health is a seed‑stage healthtech startup headquartered in San Francisco, launched as a venture spin‑out from LG Electronics’ North America Innovation Center. We’re building an innovative technology platform that enables healthcare providers and hospitals to create customized remote patient management solutions for chronic conditions. Our mission is to transform how healthcare providers deliver remote care, making it more efficient and personalized for each patient’s needs, with a particular emphasis on improving healthcare access in underserved and rural communities.

Primefocus Health has been made aware of a phishing scam where con artists are posing as recruiters or hiring managers for prominent companies using email, text messages and social media to access personal information of potential applicants. In this scam, fake recruiters are creating misleading email addresses, conducting remote interviews and extending fraudulent job offers to collect personal and financial information. This type of fraud is normally carried out through online services such as fake websites or through fake email addresses claiming to be from the company. Here’s what you should know to help protect your information from scammers: Authentic email addresses use the primefocushealth.com domain. Always take precautions when sharing personal information. We will never require personal banking information in the recruiting/interview process. We will never require an application processing fee or require other payment for recruiting services. We encourage you to apply for open roles directly through our site.
