Virtual pharmacy platform with integrated prescribing and patient management
Pillway operates a full-service digital pharmacy connecting doctors, pharmacists, and patients through a single platform. The tech stack—Azure, Kubernetes, TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS—reflects a cloud-native, microservices-first architecture built for regulated healthcare delivery. Active hiring across engineering, product, and healthcare roles (accelerating velocity) combined with heavy investment in CI/CD security, infrastructure automation, and AI/ML integration signals rapid scaling alongside compliance-driven hardening; the pain-point list emphasizes healthcare regulation adherence and cloud security posture as primary constraints.
