Experience with relational databases like Postgres, data modeling, and data quality

Accustomed to operating in a “you build it you run it” environment (incl. e.g. setting up an SDLC, managing deployments, and infrastructure)
Intrinsic desire to learn and fill in missing skills needed to achieve the desired outcome
Ability to move fast in an environment where things are sometimes loosely defined and may have competing priorities
Ability to articulate your thoughts clearly and succinctly, both in spoken and written form

We are hiring a Senior or Staff-Level Full Stack Engineer with strong product focus and architecture skills
This is a key role with significant scope and growth potential
You will have support and visibility across our VP Engineering, VP Product, and other senior technical staff

About 6 months in, we anticipate the role to slightly shift and include more backend work
Our stack spans vue.js, Rails, K8s on AWS managed with ArgoCD, native mobile (Swift, Kotlin), and ML (Python/Django/PyTorch)

Our take

Kaia was born from the frustration of chronic back pain, an issue suffered by the founders. The answer was simple: multimodal therapy. Yet, it’s a costly answer for many people, which is where Kaia found its niche.

Its AI-assisted digital therapies rely on using computer vision to digitize proven treatments for pain related to musculoskeletal disorders, so they can be delivered outside traditional healthcare environments, with the app helping patients perform exercises correctly by themselves.

Five years after launching, it has more than 500,000 individual users and over 100 companies in the US offering Kaia to employees, such as Virgin Pulse, U46 and Alstom. Studies have found the app to be highly effective at managing pain, with mental health improving alongside it.

Kaia has the customer base and a total of $123 million in raised financing to dominate the competition for musculoskeletal disorder pain management, although it must continue to innovate if it is to stay ahead. For example, it has recently dipped into physical care through its first partnership with Luna, which enables users to request physical care at their doorstep.
