We're growing 10% week over week. And we're still early.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We need engineers who build systems, not features, people who own outcomes end-to-end, orchestrate AI to execute, and raise the bar for everyone around them.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">You won't spend your days writing boilerplate. You'll write specs that agents execute, review AI-generated code with a critical eye, and make decisions that compound over time. This is what engineering looks like now. If that excites you, keep reading.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We'll shape the exact scope together, mobile, infra, platform, AI, full-stack, based on where you're strongest and where we need it most.</p><div style="min-height:1.2em;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"> </div><div style="min-height:1.2em;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"> </div><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>What we are looking for:</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Backend: Membership & payments. </strong>A confirmed backend engineer (5+ years) who thrives on designing really reliable data models and services, without over-engineering them. You reach for the simplest model that holds. You'll own the systems membership growth runs on: subscriptions and their lifecycle, checkout and payments, promotions and partner offers.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We're scaling across the EU, with the complexity that comes with it: new countries, currencies, payment methods, and regulations. This is code where a subtle bug costs real money and real trust. You care that the model is right before the endpoint exists, and that every edge case fails safely.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Frontend: Engagement & world-class experience. </strong>A confirmed frontend engineer (5+ years) with very good craft and a real sensibility for design. You like things crystal clear for the user, you build neat interfaces, and you don't wait for designs to be ready to propose something delightful.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">You'll own what a first-time visitor meets and what keeps members coming back: the acquisition funnel, onboarding, checkout, the everyday surfaces of the product. Your work has to be delightful and reliable for people who have never heard of us and decide in minutes whether to trust us with their health.</p></li></ul><div style="min-height:1.2em;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"> </div><h2><strong>About you</strong></h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">You’re passionate about the future of human health and want your work to help people stay healthy for longer. You move quickly from idea to execution, take full ownership of what you build, and work best with talented people who care as much as you do.</p><div style="min-height:1.2em;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"> </div><p style="min-height:1.5em">You thrive in fast‑moving environments, learn by doing, and value feedback as a way to continuously improve.
