About Us

Nourish is on a mission to improve people’s health by making it easy to eat well. More than half of Americans have a chronic condition related to what they eat, and poor nutrition is the number one driver of preventable death.

Nourish is addressing this healthcare crisis by helping people eat better, more easily, with our food as medicine platform. We connect people with a telehealth Registered Dietitian, food, and mobile app to improve their nutrition, all covered by health insurance. The Nourish mobile app provides a comprehensive approach to wellness through personalized visits with Registered Dietitians, medically-tailored meal delivery, health progress tracking, personalized content, meal logging, recipes / meal planning, AI chat, and more.

We launched two years ago and already have thousands of dietitians and hundreds of thousands of patients on the platform. Our patients span a wide range of nutrition-related conditions including diabetes, eating disorders, kidney disease, GI conditions, cancer, obesity / weight management, cardiovascular disease, and more. We are live in all 50 states.

We are growing quickly, have partnered with national health insurance companies and provider groups, and have raised over $44M from top-tier VCs including Index Ventures, Thrive Capital, Maverick Ventures, Y Combinator, and Box Group, amongst others. Our angel investors include world-class healthcare founders from Oscar, Rightway Health, Headway, Spring Health, and Alto Pharmacy, as well as soccer star Alex Morgan and the founders from Olipop and Notion.

About the Role:

Reporting to our co-founder & CTO, and as a key early member of Nourish’s engineering team, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our core platform. Working side-by-side with engineering, product, and design, you’ll drive the development of critical features that will lay the foundation for years to come. You’ll take full ownership of major parts of the codebase, setting ambitious timelines and leading project deliverables. Your contributions will be essential in bringing our product roadmap to life and building scalable technology to transform interactions with patients, dietitians, and insurance companies.

This role is full-time and open to remote or onsite/hybrid out of Nourish’s NYC office in the heart of Union Square.

Our tech stack: React / React Native, Typescript, NodeJS / Express, TailwindCSS, Prisma, PostgreSQL, AWS / AppRunner

Key responsibilities:

Design, build, and ship cutting-edge products and features at lightning speed without compromising on quality.
Drive continuous improvements in our engineering processes, tools, and systems to scale both our codebase and team productivity.
Contribute to the estimations, planning and execution of projects, features, and integrations.
Maintain and elevate our existing codebase.
Write clean, fully-tested, high-performance code that sets the standard for excellence.

We’d love to hear from you if you:

Have 5+ years industry experience as a software engineer
Have 2+ years experience with our tech stack, and/or are confident you can cross train and up skill quickly where needed.
Do your own stunts and ship fast. You like to build and ship new things, can independently take a project from idea through implementation, and run toward hard problems.
Think work should feel like play. You value a close-knit team and care about having a lot of fun (and impact) at work.
Want to be deeply involved in product and design. You are not only passionate about engineering but also have a desire to build a product end-to-end, through the design, coding, testing, and deployment phases. We're an early-stage startup where product, design, and engineering are closely intertwined.
