About us

Health is the most important thing in life, and the American healthcare system is completely broken - poor outcomes, high cost, bad patient experience. We're building a new system from the ground up.

Our mission is to improve people’s health by making it easy to live a healthy lifestyle.

Nourish is the country's largest dietitian-led metabolic health clinic. We’re an AI-native digital health system matching patients with 10,000+ Registered Dietitians, physicians, medications, lab testing, and AI agents to deliver insurance-covered care across all 50 states. Founded four years ago, we've completed millions of appointments, tripled year-over-year, and partnered with health plans covering 200M+ Americans across 250+ health systems.

In 2026 we raised a $100M Series C, bringing total funding to $215M. The round was led by Menlo Ventures, with participation from Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners, Maverick Ventures, Y Combinator, BoxGroup, Atomico, Daybreak, and Operator Partners.

This is not a job for everyone. We hold an extremely high bar because we believe talent density is our biggest competitive advantage. We're looking for people who actively choose hard, ambiguous problems, who run toward unglamorous work, give and receive candid feedback, and bring relentless resilience without the ego. Our work is important, but we are not self-important. We do this because we’re solving one of the hardest problems in the world, and the problem matters. If that's you, we disproportionately reward it.

About the Role:

Nourish is looking for talented Staff Full Stack Engineers to join our Consumer, Growth, and Care Expansion Pod! 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, design, and analytics, you’ll drive the development of critical features that will lay the foundation for years to come.

Reporting to the pod's Engineering Manager, 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. Check out ‘Engineering at Nourish’ to learn more about our team and what we’ve already built!

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.
Collaborate with colleagues across product, design, engineering, and analytics to solve challenging and impactful problems in a data-driven experimentation culture.
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:

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
8+ years as a Software Engineer with user-facing product experience.
4+ years experience with our tech stack (React, Typescript, Node.js, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Amplitude), including Mobile Engineering experience (React Native).
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 very collaborative, close-knit team and care about having fun and making an 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.
Think from first principles. Ask why, challenge assumptions, and value the right answer over being right.
Nice to Have’s
- Comfort in Ambiguity. You're comfortable defining and solving ambiguous problems.
- Startup or Scale Up experience. You have that dog in you; you’re resilient and persevere through challenges.
- Interviewing familiarity. We’re quickly growing our Engineering function and expect our Engineers to help us do so!
- Energized by our mission. Our mission defines everything we do, we need engineers hungry to improve people’s health by making it easy to eat well.
