Senior Software Engineer - Care Delivery
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. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. Join us on our mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people.
In this role, success looks like having strong backend expertise, paired with an appreciation for frontend development and a collaborative approach to supporting colleagues across the stack.
As a member of the Care Delivery team, you will design, build, and iterate on products that directly support clinicians and patients, helping deliver high-quality, scalable care experiences. You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional partners to solve complex problems, improve outcomes, and ensure our systems are reliable, intuitive, and impactful. We’re excited to find someone who brings an AI-augmented mindset, using modern tools and techniques to enhance development workflows and spot opportunities to embed AI into products and processes where it adds value.
What You’ll Do
Build and enhance scalable Python, Golang services and React frontends to power our member facing mobile app, and care delivery systems with a focus on supporting our patients and care teams.
Contribute to building a digital first experience for patients and scaling care delivery.
Partner with product management, design, analysts and non-technical stakeholders to come up with high-impact features that make metabolic weight loss feel accessible and exciting to our members.
Contribute to the growth of the engineering team by sharing knowledge, mentoring peers, and helping introduce standardizations and processes that improve technical quality.
