About us
Our Vision
We believe in a world where everyone, regardless of their country’s wealth or frontiers, enjoys access to medicines and healthcare when they need it.
Our Mission
We work tirelessly to remove access barriers faced by patients and caregivers across Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) when seeking quality medicines and quality healthcare.
Who We Are: Bridging Continents, Bringing Health
Imagine a world where critical medicines are within reach, affordable, and synonymous with quality, no matter where you are. That’s the world we’re building with our unique, demand-aggregation model that unites healthcare providers across LMICs. At the heart of our identity is a single, resolute commitment: to build a future where geography and income never stand between any individual and life-saving medicines. Our platform isn’t merely a space for transactions, we unlock affordable access to medicines by aggregating demand across healthcare providers. We also help manufacturers build a sustainable and reliable global access strategy.
Our business focuses on low- and middle-income countries and strengthens the purchasing power of these markets to ensure the supply of cost-effective, high-quality medicines. We partner exclusively with authorized, high-quality pharmaceutical companies and certified caregivers to accelerate sustainable access to medicines.

We’re searching for an experienced and proactive Full Stack Developer who can work alongside the developing and designing team to evolve the current marketplace prototype as well as address any technical issues that may arise over the course of operations. Given the early stage of the company, the selected person will have a unique opportunity of driving the technology and growing in experience and leadership as the tech team grows over time. The person will also actively seek out other business opportunities that can improve our platform beyond the current offerings, including data and analytics powered solutions.
Our platform is built with Django, Next.js and PostgresSQL.
Key tasks and responsibilities:
- Developing pixel-perfect user interfaces from Figma designs using Next.js, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Interview Process: Candidates selected to start the interview with Axmed will be given an assignment to complete, which typically takes under 4 hours. Candidates will be given a few days for this part of the process. Following the assignment, there will be two interviews: a technical interview, which focuses on assessing the candidate’s technical skills and problem-solving abilities, and a soft skills interview, which evaluates the candidate’s communication, teamwork, and cultural fit within the organization. This comprehensive process ensures a well-rounded evaluation of each candidate’s qualifications and suitability for the role.
Salary: USD 50,000 – 75,000 depending on candidate’s profile and experience
