Thyme Care rolled out our new company values, which act as a shared north star for everything that we do. These values, which include acting with our members in mind, moving with purpose, and seeking diverse perspectives, are consistent across departments and functions, including Engineering. As an engineering team we decided that we wanted to add an additional layer of values to:

• Codify behaviors that are more specific to our engineering functions

• Align on norms across teams and engineering functions

• Align on the types of behaviors that we would look for in interviews

After quite a few live discussions, a narrowing down process, and some wordsmithing, we narrowed our list to the most meaningful four, highlighted below

We’re excited to share these externally so that prospective engineers know what kind of team we’ve fostered here and what kind of team they’d be joining.

Thyme Care's Engineering team is proud of how learning and mentorship are core parts of our culture. Read to learn more.

We sat down with one of our talented Data Scientists, Scott Worland, to talk about his background and what it’s like contributing to the data science and engineering team at Thyme Care.

We've talked about why we chose Kubernetes at Thyme Care to deploy and scale our applications, emphasizing the importance of managing the complexity of Kubernetes. In this post, we hope to share just one aspect of how we’re doing that, through the automation of our deploy process.

When launching Thyme Care, we deployed our MVP to AWS Elastic Beanstalk (EBS). While it helped us hit the ground running, we quickly outgrew this solution. Our plans for the future required a more robust platform – one that was highly observable, general enough for any number of workloads, and able to support our scale well into the future.

Using a simple inheritance pattern along with Python’s *args and **kwargs symbols, Thyme Care can insert our own metadata into a wrapper class without affecting the underlying implementation.

With a background in both finance and healthcare technology, Head of Data Science Alphan Kirayoglu’s current project is building the foundation and technology that will better the cancer journey for patients, their caregivers, and providers. Learn more.
