Founding Engineer at early-stage consumer healthtech startup
Are you ready to be the first hire at a mission-driven startup? We are looking for a product-minded Founding Engineer to build a mobile-first fitness platform from scratch. This is a rare opportunity to own the architecture, choose your stack, and work directly with a notable founder on a product designed to help people reclaim their wellness. If you have 4–7 years of experience, a love for greenfield development, and the desire to join a well-positioned early-stage venture with equity on the table, this is the role for you. Join a team where you aren't just executing a backlog—you're shaping the future of the product.
