Meet the women Fullstack Developers at Doctolib

An important realisation came from Evita Stoop. During her speech about tolerance, she said:

I find it very true. It inspired me to gather with the other women Fullstack Developers at Doctolib to share some of our experience to everyone. Specifically, I’d like to share who we are, how we started coding and what makes Doctolib a good place to learn and grow in our opinion.

I work in the Virtual Care team at Doctolib. My team’s goal is to build video consultations in France. And I love that we are creating a brand new product and a new way to access healthcare for both patients and doctors.

What about my female colleagues ?

Most of us started coding while we were at University. We all had slightly different experiences, but the common theme was that, at first, we really did not envision ourselves working as Software Engineers. But once we tried it, we all loved it and decided to stay on this track.

Let’s take Melyna for example. She began University with her sights set on the energy sector, but she recalls,

When we think about coding and software development, we often imagine a job that is going to be purely logical and mathematical, but it is really more creative than you expect.

Melanie G for example used to draw all the time in high school. At first, she was looking for art schools. But after much thought, she decided she wanted to keep drawing as a hobby, and ended up studying at Epita as she had a lot of interest in scientific classes. She didn’t know a lot about programming, but managed to learn really fast. She said,

Not all of us started coding at University. Coralie got interested in code while working on the website for her own company. She shared

All of us can agree:

The key here is really keeping an open mind because you might not know you like something until you try it!

Now that you know a little more about us, let’s talk about what makes Doctolib a great place to learn and grow.

Doctolib is a mission driven company in the healthcare sector, many of us are here because we want to change healthcare for good!

Personally, I love working at Doctolib because every day we improve working conditions for Doctors and healthcare access for patients. I think that’s a very noble mission, for which I am happy to wake up every morning.

For some of us, like Tetiana, it was even a requirement in her job search. Her only condition for her next job was that the work should be impactful. She said

Nerisa shares her personal experience as a non-french speaker in France,

Understandingly a bit intimidated by this whole process, Nerisa looked for alternatives.

In addition to the societal impact, we also love working at Doctolib because of the people! It’s a place with a palpable entrepreneurial spirit, where we tackle challenging and interesting technical problems.

Melyna, who spent 3 years in fintech, said

Coralie sums up what it’s like to work at Doctolib pretty succinctly,

We’re growing at the speed of light and Full Stack Developers are the core to our success, so I’d be delighted to connect with you to hear about what you’re working on!
