Role
Who you are
- Backend or full-stack — the more of a generalist, the better
- At least two years of professional experience and no experience cap — we’re hiring across all levels of seniority
- Enough familiarity with Python and TypeScript+React to confidently make code contributions on day one
- Clear communication and an eagerness to collaborate effectively across engineering, product and design
- Experience building user-facing products, with an eye for detail and a sense of what makes software feel intuitive and polished
- Comfort working in fast-paced, dynamic startup environments
- Strong ownership mindset: you care about the outcome, not just your piece of the implementation
What the job involves
- Our software platform is well established and our user base is already quite large, but we’re still in the very early innings of building the world’s hub for healthy living. It will take more world-class engineers to bring our ambitious vision for Fay to life, and that’s why we’re hiring!
- Building features end-to-end: All engineers lead projects and take ownership of their delivery and impact
- Contributing to the underlying platform: We all pitch in to keep the platform stable and the developer experience smooth
- Supporting engineering teammates: We have lively engineering Slack channels and huddles where we run ideas by each other and problem-solve together
- Teaming up with product & design: Every project is a team effort between engineering, product and design, and everyone involved pushes for the best outcome
- Maintaining a high standard: We have a culture of doing things thoughtfully and doing them right, which comes with a commitment to uphold team best practices
- Making the product your baby: We jump in to prototype our new feature ideas, remove developer pain points and fix nagging UI blemishes — all because we care about making things great!
Our take
It is widely accepted that access to holistic nutrition support is a more healthy approach to weight loss than other options. Fay is transforming nutrition counselling by linking individuals with registered dietitians through an insurance-covered platform.
Emerging from stealth in 2024, the company aims to address the widespread need for accessible and high-quality nutritional care in the US. It has an extensive network of dieticians that spans all 50 states, offering tailored nutrition plans to users. For these dieticians, the platform can help them establish their practices, manage insurance claims and match with clients.
With more than 2,300 dieticians on the platform and customers like Amazon, Microsoft, and Pepsi, Fay has made it possible for more than 200M Americans to receive personalized nutrition and lifestyle counseling. But it isn't slowing down anytime soon, as demand grows for weight management and metabolic health solutions, the company recently secured major funding to stay ahead of the curve.
