Join the Team Modernizing Medicine

At ModMed, we’re not just building software—we’re reimagining the healthcare experience. Founded in 2010 by a practicing physician and a successful tech entrepreneur, we took a radically different approach: we hired doctors and taught them how to code. This "for doctors, by doctors" philosophy has allowed us to create an AI-enabled, specialty-specific cloud platform that places patients at the center of care.

A Culture of Excellence

When you join ModMed, you’re joining an award-winning team recognized for innovation and employee satisfaction. From our global headquarters in Boca Raton Florida, and extensive employee base in Hyderabad India, we are a team of 4,500+ passionate problem-solvers on a mission to increase medical practice success and improve patient outcomes:

• Consistently ranked as a Top Place to Work

• 2025 Globee Business Awards: Gold Globee for “Technology Team of the Year”

• 2025 Black Book Awards: Ranked #1 EHR in 11 Specialties

• Florida Venture Forum: Venture-Backed Company of the Year

We are growing fast, thinking big, and we are just getting started.
