Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for product-minded mobile engineers who have a keen design intuition, an eye for detail, and most importantly, compassion for our patients
- 3.5+ years software engineering experience building mobile apps using React Native or similar technologies
- Experience working with backend teams integrating REST or GraphQL APIs
- An eye for design, a love of your craft, and empathy for our users. You should be able to critique and think through how designs will impact our end users, not just the code
- You put people first and take care of yourself, your peers, and our patients equally
- You have a strong sense of ownership and take initiative while empowering others to do the same
- You prioritize positive impact over busy work
- You have no ego and understand that everyone has something to bring to the table regardless of experience
- You appreciate transparency and promote trust and empowerment through open access of information
- You are evidence-based and prioritize data and science over seniority or dogma
- You take risks and rapidly iterate
What the job involves
- In this role, you will be building features and maintaining our cross-platform application that is used daily by our members. Your work will have a direct and meaningful impact on our members lives
- Develop medium to large scale, initiatives in the Virta mobile application utilizing React Native, TypeScript, and platform specific tooling
- Modernize existing screens and components to improve our patient experience and support our internationalization and localization efforts
- Collaborate with product, design, clinical, and applied AI teams to deliver new features to patients
- Troubleshoot, debug, and fix issues with the mobile application
- Collaborate and be part of the mobile release process as a mobile release manager in partnership with QA and stakeholders
- Collaborate with other engineers on the team and promote high quality software engineering practices
- Be a point of reference to unblock fullstack and frontend engineers who are contributing to the mobile codebase
- Within your first 90 days at Virta, we expect you will do the following:
- Release at least one medium feature on the mobile app
- Collaborate with other engineering team members through knowledge sharing, pair programming, and giving feedback in code reviews
- Propose and implement one or more process/product improvements to make our engineering team and developer experience even better
Our take
Much of the care for type 2 diabetes has been based on control and prevention, rather than a direct reversal of the issue. Virta Health is changing that, providing patients with personalized treatment plans, virtual monitoring and patient care.
Instead of depending upon medication, which often needs to be increased over time, the company is tackling the problem at its root and taking a fundamentally different approach that is better for the patient, and more economical for insurers. Among enrolled patients in its clinical trial at one year, 60% achieved diabetes reversal.
While platforms like Vida Health also serve similar markets, the large number of prediabetic (88M) and diabetic (30M) Americans presents a significant opportunity for growth. Along with its significant funding round in 2021 fueling its efforts to expand the reach of its telehealth-powered diabetes reversal treatment. Positioning the company for widespread adoption and continued success in addressing this critical healthcare challenge.
