teams built with Gigson developers

Healhtech - Backend

Looking to hire African healthtech developer ? Gigson pre-vets engineers from a 22,000+ developer network — only the top 4% qualify. Gerocare achieved 70% product performance improvement after placing a Gigson backend engineer. Helium Health also hires through Gigson. Shortlisted in 5 business days, 40–60% below US/UK rates.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Built for healthtech teams who need
senior engineering capacity, fast

If you recognise your situation below, Gigson Performance is the right call.

You don't have time to run a full hiring process

CTOs at growth-stage healthtech companies don't have 8–12 weeks to run a technical hiring process alongside product deadlines and engineering decisions. Gigson Performance handles sourcing, vetting, and shortlisting.

Your product performance is holding back growth

Gerocare's 70% performance improvement shows what the right backend hire can do. If your platform is slow, unreliable, or struggling to scale to more patients or providers, engineering quality is likely the constraint.

You need engineers who understand digital health products

Health platforms, EHR systems, and patient-facing apps have domain requirements that general engineers often lack. Your talent manager screens for engineers who've built in healthtech — not just good general engineers applied to a health context.

You're launching or scaling a health app

Mobile health apps serving patients require mobile engineers who understand health data sensitivity alongside standard performance requirements. Gigson's network includes React Native and Flutter developers with healthtech context.

You're building EHR or FHIR integrations

Electronic health record integrations, HL7/FHIR APIs, and interoperability work require domain experience most general engineers don't have. Gigson's healthtech network includes engineers who've built these systems before.

US/UK healthtech engineering costs are unsustainable

Digital health startups face high engineering costs at precisely the stage when capital matters most. At 40–60% savings vs. US/UK rates, Gigson hires extend runway and free capital for product development and growth.

Imagine developers who stay productive. Forever.

Work with experienced developers who have a dedicated team to help them maintain highest productivity levels.

Prescreened candidates

Only 4.3% of the developers we screen get a Devcenter assessment profile.

Human talent managers

Go straight to a shortlist of candidates that fit the job description perfectly.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Everything in a managed
healthtech developer hire

Gigson Performance is not a job board. It's a fully managed service with healthtech domain screening built in.

Dedicated talent manager

A human talent manager handles your search from day one. They understand healthtech stacks and will specifically ask about your domain requirements, stack, and product context before surfacing candidates.

100% Human-led

Healthtech domain screening

Beyond the standard Devcenter assessment, your talent manager screens for digital health product experience, EHR/FHIR integration knowledge, health data platform familiarity, and the specific stack and domain context your product requires.

Assessment verified

Post-placement performance oversight

Your talent manager stays engaged after placement to monitor delivery. In healthtech, catching a performance problem early is far less costly than discovering it in production.

Ongoing support

Free replacement at any time

If the developer underperforms, Gigson replaces at no additional placement fee. In healthtech, engineering continuity matters — this guarantee protects you.

100% guarantee

3 shortlisted candidates in 5 days

Cross-border ready
