About Una Health
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. We are backed by investors such as Atlantic Food Labs, PeakBridge, Plug and Play, and DART Labs, as well as angels like the founders of mySugr/9amHealth and Ada Health. We are a fast-growing team and have recently launched our fully-reimbursed solution for 9 million people living with type 2 diabetes in Germany. This is an exciting time with opportunities to shape the company from the start. Note: The role requires you to be based in Berlin but is remote-first.
Tasks
In this role, you will work closely with tech and product leads to rapidly build and test new features to improve the health of people living with diabetes. You will work remotely and should be ready to contribute effectively in a fast-paced environment focused on achieving product-market fit and meaningful health outcomes. You will get involved across the product development cycle, expand your skill set, and communicate technical information clearly. Above all, you are motivated by the potential to improve health for millions affected by metabolic illnesses.

- Experience with mobile cross-platform frameworks such as Flutter or React Native
- Interest in expanding your skills to cover Dart and Flutter
Note: Research shows a confidence gap among different groups in applying when meeting criteria, so if you meet most requirements but not all, you are encouraged to apply.
Our tech stack
We currently operate with cloud-native, event-driven microservices architecture. The infrastructure includes Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions. Backend uses Python and Django (version 3+), frontend Dart and Flutter (version 2+), with GitHub as meta tool.
