Backend Software Developer

Job Description

First and foremost, we're looking for people who are excited about what we're doing—you don't need to know anything about metabolic health, but should be excited to learn. We're building in an entirely new space, so you'll be able to use creativity to help us solve problems and delight our customers.

Our back end web stack is Node/Typescript, Postgres, Redis, GraphQL, and deployed using Aptible and AWS. We use React Native and GraphQL for mobile, as well as React and tRPC on the front end.

As a backend software engineer, here are some common role responsibilities:

• Design and implement maintainable backend services, including data processing pipelines, APIs, etc
• Help us scale to process billions of data points per month
• Build integrations between us and our partners (physicians, coaches, other wearable platforms, etc)

This list is not exhaustive at all, and you'll have a lot of autonomy over your work. Our team is composed of a diverse group of product-minded and mission-driven engineers.
