What we do

Patients VIP is a US-based startup that helps clinical research sites and sponsors find and enroll patients for clinical trials. Alongside our marketing work, we build the internal platforms and web tools that make that process faster, clearer and more transparent for researchers and patients.

Why work for us

We are looking for a mid-level developer to help build modern, scalable web applications. You will play an important role in building and improving our internal platforms and web-based tools, with a lot of freedom to be creative. There are no set working hours, just meeting deadlines. This role is open to part-time work and is an introductory opportunity to see if we would like to work together longer term.

Our culture

We are a young startup with a fun, flexible environment. We value simple, scalable solutions over over-engineered systems, and we care about consistency in our stack. We also embrace new AI technologies and plan to incorporate them into our future projects, so developers who are curious about AI will fit right in.

Our engineering process

Most of our work is web-first, built with Next.js, Supabase (Postgres) and Vercel, with vanilla JS for the occasional lighter tool. You should be comfortable building front ends, creating clean UI, working with APIs, and using a backend like Supabase for the database, auth and edge functions.

Our hiring process

We are currently hiring South African developers only, and English must be your first language. Reach out with a short intro and examples of web apps you have built. We will chat about your experience and how you like to work, and the role starts as a trial period to make sure we are a good fit for each other.
