How MedMe built its engineering and product organization through two critical growth phases

18 hires across two separate engagements. Senior technical hiring built to scale alongside the business.

MedMe is building the operating system for the next generation of pharmacies - transforming them from prescription fulfillment centers into modern community healthcare hubs.

Founded by a health data scientist, a product engineer, and a practicing pharmacist, the company is reimagining the role pharmacists play in healthcare delivery by enabling clinical services, patient engagement, and operational workflows through software.

As MedMe expanded toward the U.S. market and accelerated revenue growth, hiring became increasingly urgent.

The company needed to rapidly scale engineering and product capacity, support major incoming customers, replace critical technical leadership after an unexpected departure, and establish recruiting infrastructure capable of supporting future growth.

Over two engagements spanning roughly 10 months of active recruiting, Invenio embedded directly into MedMe’s team to help scale engineering and product hiring - supporting 18 hires across technical leadership, infrastructure, product, and senior engineering functions while saving an estimated $429K compared to traditional contingent recruiting models.

The challenge

MedMe’s growth created immediate pressure on the company’s technical organization.

As the business expanded into new markets and prepared to support larger customer demand, engineering and product hiring became directly tied to execution timelines and organizational stability.

High-priority challenges

  • Time-sensitive engineering hiring tied to major incoming customers
  • Replacing a departing Head of Engineering
  • Scaling technical leadership and senior engineering capacity
  • Building hiring infrastructure capable of supporting long-term growth
  • Maintaining hiring quality while moving quickly in a competitive market

What the team needed

Internal bandwidth was limited, and the team needed a recruiting partner capable of operating with urgency while also helping shape longer-term hiring strategy and organizational structure.

Why MedMe chose an embedded recruiting partner

Rather than relying on transactional recruiting support, MedMe partnered with Invenio to create an embedded recruiting function capable of integrating directly into the company’s workflows and leadership processes.

Embedded across

  • Recruiting execution
  • Organizational planning
  • Compensation benchmarking
  • Engineering leveling
  • Hiring process design
  • ATS selection and implementation
  • Candidate experience and interview operations

Built for long-term infrastructure

The partnership extended beyond hiring support. Invenio also helped MedMe establish stronger recruiting infrastructure and hiring practices designed to support the company through future growth phases.

Scaling with demand

When hiring demand slowed, the engagement scaled back. When growth accelerated again, the recruiting function ramped quickly without requiring the team to restart onboarding, recalibration, or process alignment from scratch.

Scaling the engineering and product organization

Across two engagement periods, Invenio supported hiring across engineering, infrastructure, product, and technical operations functions.

Key hires

  1. Head of Engineering
  2. Principal Engineers
  3. Senior Software Engineers
  4. Senior Infrastructure Engineers
  5. Head of Product
  6. Technical Product Managers
  7. Technical Project Managers

Foundational leadership and execution capacity

The partnership helped MedMe scale both foundational technical leadership and day-to-day engineering execution capacity during multiple periods of rapid organizational growth.

Operating inside the company's systems

Because the recruiting function operated directly inside the company’s systems and communication channels, hiring managers and leadership teams were able to move quickly on calibration, compensation decisions, and offer strategy throughout the engagement.

The outcomes

Over two critical growth phases, the partnership helped MedMe build the technical organization required to support expansion, customer growth, and long-term product development.

18 strategic hires completed across engineering and product

The engagement supported technical leadership hiring, senior engineering scale-up, and product organization growth across multiple hiring cycles.

Recruiting infrastructure established for long-term scale

Beyond filling roles, the partnership helped MedMe improve hiring systems, process design, compensation calibration, and organizational planning.

More than $429K saved compared to contingency recruiting

Compared to traditional agency models, the embedded partnership delivered significant savings while providing continuity, strategic support, and deeply integrated recruiting execution.
