Software Engineer

At Fay, our mission is to make nutrition a foundational pillar of preventative care, improving outcomes, accessibility, and affordability at scale. We're building AI-powered infrastructure to transform preventative healthcare. Think that's bold? We're just getting started.

Today, Fay is a three-sided marketplace connecting providers, patients, and payers to revolutionize preventative care delivery. Our b2b2c business-in-a-box solution empowers dietitians to deliver high-quality, affordable nutrition care, helps patients take control of their health, and enables payers to build healthier member populations. Nutrition is our starting point, not the finish line. The platform we're building will expand into new areas of preventative health and wellness as we grow.

We're proud to be one of the fastest-growing companies in healthtech, backed by category-defining investors like General Catalyst, Forerunner, 1984, and Goldman Sachs.

Ready to leverage AI-driven technology to transform preventative care and make a real-world impact on health? Let's talk.

This role offers what many ambitious engineers are looking for:

• 🌟 Top-tier teammates: We have an unusually talented and accomplished team of engineers who’ve held lead, staff, principal and director level roles in past jobs.
• 🧑‍💻 A builder-centric culture: We’re a fast-moving team with high standards, supported by thoughtful processes that keep things running smoothly without getting in the way.
• ⚒️ Modern tools & best practices: We use the best tool for the job at hand, and we’ve leaned into AI-driven development in all of the places it’s proven to be most effective.
• 🤝 A tight-knit, high-output team: We’re a total of nine backend/full-stack engineers who collaborate closely, move quickly and have an unreasonable amount of fun together.
• 🤲 An ever-important mission: We’re here to deliver high quality, convenient and affordable care to the hundreds of millions of Americans who need it.

Our software platform is well established and our user base is already quite large, but we’re still in the very early innings of building the world’s hub for healthy living. It will take more world-class engineers to bring our ambitious vision for Fay to life, and that’s why we’re hiring!

• →Maintaining a high standard: We have a culture of doing things thoughtfully and doing them right, which comes with a commitment to uphold team best practices.
• →Making the product your baby: We jump in to prototype our new feature ideas, remove developer pain points and fix nagging UI blemishes — all because we care about making things great!

• Backend or full-stack — the more of a generalist, the better
• At least two years of professional experience and no experience cap — we’re hiring across all levels of seniority
• Enough familiarity with Python and TypeScript+React to confidently make code contributions on day one
• Clear communication and an eagerness to collaborate effectively across engineering, product and design
