Job description

Company Overview

We are Una, a mission-driven company tackling the ever-increasing burden of metabolic disease.
We combine the latest medical research, data science, biosensor technology, and human-centered design to enable sustainable behaviour change and improve health outcomes.
We have created the first medical-grade digital therapy that sustainably solves metabolic dysfunction.
Backed by excellent investors including Atlantic Food Labs, PeakBridge, Plug and Play, and DART Labs, as well as angels such as the founders of mySugr/9amHealth and Ada Health.
We are a fast-growing team. You will join us at a hugely exciting time as we have just launched our fully-reimbursed solution to 9 million people living with type 2 diabetes in Germany. There are opportunities to shape the company's direction from the start.
Note: The role requires you to be based in Berlin but is remote-first.

Tasks

Working closely with tech and product leads, you will help build quickly and test new features as we learn from users. You will work remotely, ready to hit the ground running as we aim for product-market fit by adding functionality that improves the health of people living with diabetes. Comfortable with hands-on coding, expanding your skill set, and explaining technical terms well. Enjoy brainstorming and involvement across the product development cycle. Motivated by the potential to improve health for millions living with metabolic illnesses such as diabetes.

  • Understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools and container orchestration, e.g. Terraform and Kubernetes
  • Experience with mobile cross-platform frameworks such as Flutter or React Native
