About The Position

Virta Health is on a mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. The company has raised over $350 million from top-tier investors and partners with large health plans, employers, and government organizations. In this role, success involves strong backend expertise, an appreciation for frontend development, and a collaborative approach. As a member of the Care Delivery team, you will design, build, and iterate on products that directly support clinicians and patients, delivering high-quality, scalable care experiences. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional partners to solve complex problems, improve outcomes, and ensure systems are reliable, intuitive, and impactful. The role also seeks someone with an AI-augmented mindset, using modern tools and techniques to enhance development workflows and embed AI into products and processes where it adds value.

Requirements

  • A strong product sense, and the ability to build iteratively. You should have experience in carving down requirements to test an idea in two weeks or less.
