Company mission
To improve the quality of life for millions of people with musculoskeletal issues like back pain, whether it's in their workplace or the clinic.
Role
Who you are
- Software builder with 3+ years’ experience – you’re passionate about your craft and comfortable working across the stack (leaning frontend or backend is fine). Experience with a strongly typed backend + JS framework (bonus points for .NET + Vue, but not essential)
- Proven track record of building applications with real complexity, whether in a commercial role, open-source, or personal projects that showcase your commitment to engineering
- Self-starter with autonomy – you make sensible decisions independently, take ownership, and aren’t afraid to figure things out without waiting for hand-holding
- Product-minded and user-focused – you work closely with designers and clinical experts, always thinking about usability, impact, and experience
Desirable
- Cloud infrastructure experience: We use AWS
- Experience with building: B2B, SaaS platforms
- Obsessed with learning: you’re curious, self-motivated, and have a track record of figuring things out fast as well as staying on top of industry news and trends
- Driven by impact: you’re excited to help build something meaningful from the ground up
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a full stack developer who’s ready to roll up their sleeves. As an early full stack hire, you’ll have the chance to bring ideas, best practice, and real ownership - helping shape how our product is built, scaled, and maintained across the stack
- Our product is VIDA, a web platform used by thousands of employees to improve musculoskeletal health and reduce pain. It combines clinical insight, movement science, and technology to assess risk, reduce pain, and help people move better at work and beyond
- Join as one of the core engineers to work across frontend and backend systems that power VIDA: from assessments and programmes to data pipelines, APIs, and internal tools
- You’ll be responsible for shipping reliable, well-designed features end-to-end, from concept through to production, with success measured through product adoption, system reliability, developer velocity, and customer outcomes
- Shipping features that tackle a wide range of customer challenges
- Making key architectural and tooling decisions to keep systems reliable, scalable, and efficient
- Collaborating with clinical and UX teams to design experiments and implement complex clinical logic and algorithms
- Helping foster a culture of engineering excellence through mentoring, collaboration, and continuous learning
Salary benchmarks
Our take
A recent study has found that desk workers spend an average of 1,700 hours a year sitting at their laptop or computer, leading to musculoskeletal issues, eye strain, and tiredness. Moreover, a different study has found that 60% of employees reported pain associated with a musculoskeletal issue at any moment. Employers are thus legally required to provide employees with safe working environments, but the solutions currently implemented are usually superficial, with no real impact on employees' wellbeing.
Vitrue VIDA is a startup that solves this problem by using cutting-edge technologies developed with surgeons and professional athletes to enable early detection of musculoskeletal conditions and to provide desk workers with personalised treatment.
Vitrue VIDA's strategic growth plan is to offer its comprehensive SaaS product at a very low price, standing out from its competitors. This makes it an affordable and attractive option for employers and will help in growing its customer base. VC awarded to Vitrue Health in 2024 is being channelled into new hires, research and development and company expansion into the US and new European markets.
