About The Position

At Total Life, we believe that the later chapters of life should be defined by growth, purpose, and emotional resilience. We are on a mission to revolutionize healthier aging by combating the silent epidemic of mental health issues and anxiety among the elderly. Our work is driven by a deep-seated commitment to making quality, affordable emotional support services easily accessible to a demographic that is too often overlooked in the digital health revolution. We are a behavioral health company solely dedicated to the 65+ population. Our values are rooted in empathy, evidence-based care, and accessibility. We don’t just provide therapy; we empower seniors to redefine their identity, navigate complex health changes, and maintain a high quality of life. When you join Total Life, you aren’t just joining a platform—you are joining a movement to ensure that every senior has a partner in their mental health and wellness journey. We're growing fast, our technology is at the center of everything we do, and we're looking for a Full-Stack Developer who wants their code to actually mean something. You'll work directly alongside product, design, and clinical operations to build the platform that connects seniors with the mental health support they need. Every feature you ship, every performance improvement you make, every API you design — it touches real patients and real outcomes.
