Working side-by-side with engineering, product, design, and analytics, you’ll drive the development of critical features that will lay the foundation for years to come.
Reporting to the Engineering Manager of your Pod, you’ll take full ownership of major parts of the codebase, setting ambitious timelines and leading project deliverables. Whether you’re in the Ops or Platform Pod, your contributions will be essential in bringing our product roadmap to life and building scalable technology to transform interactions with patients, dietitians, and insurance companies.

Key responsibilities
Design, build, and ship cutting-edge products and features at lightning speed without compromising on quality.
Drive continuous improvements in our engineering processes, tools, and systems to scale both our codebase and team productivity.
Collaborate with colleagues across product, design, engineering, and analytics to solve challenging and impactful problems in a data-driven experimentation culture.
Contribute to the estimations, planning and execution of projects, features, and integrations.
Maintain and elevate our existing codebase by developing, releasing, and maintaining backend services and/or infrastructure.

We’d love to hear from you if you
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
5+ years as a Backend focused Software Engineer, preferably building high-performance internal platforms to streamline internal business operations, developer experience, or devops.
3+ years utilizing our tech stack (Typescript, Node.js, Prisma, PostgreSQL, AWS) or confidence and excitement about cross-training and up-skilling!
Do your own stunts and ship fast. You like to build and ship new things, can independently take a project from idea through implementation, and run toward hard problems.
Think work should feel like play. You value a very collaborative, close-knit team and care about having fun and making an impact at work.
Want to be deeply involved in product and design. You are not only passionate about engineering but also have a desire to build a product end-to-end, through the design, coding, testing, and deployment phases. We're an early-stage startup where product, design, and engineering are closely intertwined.
Think from first principles. Ask why, challenge assumptions, and value the right answer over being right.
