Who is Babylon?
Our mission is simple: to put an accessible and affordable health service in the hands of every person on earth. We’re at the forefront of making two worlds converge – tech and healthcare.
Imagine being able to access a doctor, within minutes, from an app on your phone.
Well, now you don’t have to imagine…
Babylon has partnered with TELUS to bring Canadians “Babylon by TELUS Health” – a service that is revolutionizing Canadians’ access health information and primary care.
What does it mean to be Babylonian?
We hire only the best.
Finance pros, creatives, strategists and analysts keep the Babylon mission growing around the world. We won’t stop until everyone, everywhere, has access to healthcare – right now, at least half the world’s population doesn’t. We’re going to change that.
If you’re passionate about our mission – improving access to primary care across British Columbia (and soon, across Canada) – we want you to join our team!
