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.
As a Backend Engineer, you’ll build reliable systems, improve data accuracy across member, client, and operational workflows, and automate processes that are critical to Virta’s ability to deliver seamless care and transparent reporting. Your work will enable faster decision-making, reduce manual processes, and ensure our data is accurate, accessible, and ready to support both internal teams and external partners.
We’re also 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 processes where it adds value.
