Let’s bring the focus of Pediatrics back to the children

Canid is an early-stage startup that is on a mission to help pediatricians spend more time with children, while we do the rest.

We're beginning with the biggest pain point for every pediatric practice: comprehensive vaccine management. Our product helps physicians lower their overall internal costs, improve their vaccination rates, and simplify their vaccination record management, all with a single 30-second scan.

Our goal is to bring practices the comprehensive vaccine management they deserve and we need amazing people to do it!

We are…

Bringing together experts in SMB & health tech, with a proven track record of building scalable enterprises. We are passionate and deeply invested in building a better healthcare system - one that works for patients and doctors alike. We also deeply care about each other, are proud of the tight-knit culture we built, and fully embrace the challenge of maintaining this culture as we add new members to our teams.

You are…

A marketing pro with a strategic mindset that’s ready to roll up your sleeves and make things happen. As our first marketer, you'll be instrumental in shaping and executing our marketing strategy. If you're experienced with top-down sales models, we'd love to hear from you!

We're eager to welcome someone who can bring fresh ideas to the table and iterate quickly on our strategy to find what fits our market best. From day one, you'll have the opportunity to build our marketing efforts from scratch, and see the impact of your day to day work in the way that we make decisions.
