Software Engineer

Austin, TX

Virta Health is on a mission to transform diabetes care and reverse the type 2 diabetes epidemic. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse type 2 diabetes 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 live diabetes-free. Join us on our mission to reverse diabetes in 100M people by 2025.

In this role, you will be building features and maintaining our cross-platform application that is used daily by our patients. Your work will have a direct and meaningful impact on their lives.

We’re looking for product-minded mobile engineers who have a keen design intuition, an eye for detail, and most importantly, compassion for our patients.

Responsibilities

Develop medium to large scale, initiatives in the Virta mobile application utilizing React Native, TypeScript, and platform specific tooling
Modernize existing screens and components to improve our patient experience and support our internationalization and localization efforts
Collaborate with product, design, clinical, and applied AI teams to deliver new features to patients
Troubleshoot, debug, and fix issues with the mobile application
Collaborate and be part of the mobile release process in partnership with the Mobile Release Manager and QA leads

90 Day Plan

Within your first 90 days at Virta, you will have opportunities to:

Release at least one medium feature on the mobile app
Collaborate with other engineering team members through knowledge sharing, pair programming, and giving feedback in code reviews
Propose and implement one or more process/product improvements to make our engineering team and developer experience even better

Requirements

3.5+ years software engineering experience building mobile apps using React Native or similar technologies
Experience working with backend teams integrating REST or GraphQL APIs
An eye for design, a love of your craft, and empathy for our users. You should be able to critique and think through how designs will impact our end users, not just the code

Values-driven culture

Virta’s company values drive our culture, so you’ll do well if:

You put people first and take care of yourself, your peers, and our patients equally
You have a strong sense of ownership and take initiative while empowering others to do the same
You prioritize positive impact over busy work
You have no ego and understand that everyone has something to bring to the table regardless of experience
