Levels is a health and wellness company committed to advancing personalized health knowledge. Through data-driven discovery, science-backed education, and individualized insights, Levels motivates people to optimize their metabolic well-being.
Why join us?
We're working to solve a massive global problem and help people be healthier. If you're into health/wellness, fitness, and wearables, you'll love helping build our product.
We're small, so you'll be able to contribute efficiently and without bureaucracy. You'll quickly have responsibility over big areas of our product.
We're small, so you'll be able to contribute efficiently and without bureaucracy. You'll quickly have responsibility over big areas of our product.
Our team has a wide range of experiences (YCombinator founder, Google leads, medical physician, keeping the astronauts alive at SpaceX, etc) and are excited to learn from you, too.
You'll be able to work remotely and set your own schedule. We don't micro-manage and will help you do great work.
We'll mould your role to shape a career you're excited about. We care a ton about your satisfaction and job happiness, and will help prep you for whatever you're looking for in the future.
We work hard and also highly value balanced work/life. We care about family and your own personal development, and don't expect for you to be always engaged with work.
Engineering at Levels
Since we're an early-stage startup, we constantly have to ask what gets the most value, cheaply, to validate our assumptions?
We build some things to last a long time, and others as prototypes.
We use linting, e2e testing, CI, observability logging, and production probers. We've documented both our web and mobile apps so that you should be able to get started easily—and if you need help, we'll absolutely improve our docs—and contribute your first day.
Our team has previously built products that served tens of millions of customers per day, so we recognize the value of maintainability and keeping our developer experience nimble. We push our backend several times a day, and our mobile app weekly.
You'll help push us to be our best, and we're excited for recommendations and insights you have as you join. You'll be an owner and contribute towards how we work.
First and foremost, we're looking for people who are excited about what we're doing—you don't need to know anything about metabolic health, but should be excited to learn. We're building in an entirely new space, so you'll be able to use creativity to help us solve problems and delight our customers.
Our web stack is Next.js (TypeScript, React, node, Postgres) and we use React Native / GraphQL on mobile.
Since most of our team are generalists, we have flexibility about where you'd fit in. Here are some possibilities (none are hard requirements):
- Design and implement maintainable backend services, including data processing pipelines, APIs, etc
- Build integrations between us and our partners (physicians, coaches, etc)
- Design delightful and performant React Native UIs, including interactive charts
- Create interfaces to help our customers understand complex data and relationships between what they eat and how their body responds
This list is not exhaustive at all, and you'll have a lot of autonomy over your work.
Work closely with the product team to develop some small experiments and quickly iterate to better understand how our members interact with a nutritionist.
Build off some loose wireframes from the product team to figure out how our members interact with small groups and cohorts.
Work with the data science team to figure out how to close the loop on various aspects of behavior and display that information on the mobile app.
