  • Collaborate with our team to deliver full-stack features end-to-end.
  • Lead and improve database architecture, performance, and reliability.
  • Participate in DevOps and infrastructure projects, including CI/CD, deployments, and monitoring.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions as we evolve our stack and scale our systems.
  • Work closely with product, design, and leadership to scope and deliver high-impact features.
Qualifications


Must-Haves:

  • Strong backend engineering experience with serverless architectures.
  • Solid experience with relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL, RDS) and data modeling.
  • Ability to assess and optimize database performance, scaling, and migrations.
  • Experience with AWS (Lambdas, EC2, S3, RDS, etc).
  • Strong understanding of backend system design and REST API development.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar).
  • Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, remote startup environment.

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Frontend experience with React and Vite.
  • Backend experience with Node.js.
  • Experience with TypeScript.
  • Experience with observability, monitoring, and alerting systems.

About Us


  • Crazy ambitious mission: we're reinventing how we should think about pregnancy and infant wellness, leveraging all the exciting research in the early-life microbiome space. From there on, we expand into adult gut and vaginal microbiome health for overall wellness. This is an opportunity to have a trajectory-altering impact on humanity.

  • Lots of room to experiment, iterate, and build: we have a huge vision, and you'll have the opportunity to grow rapidly and influence the strategic direction of the company (and we have 2+ years of runway to make that happen)
  • Transparent culture: we do the right thing by the team, users, and stakeholders. When you have complete trust in your teammates, you can be much more open and move faster ;)
  • Our core values:
  • Learn fast, be better (get to the root cause)
  • Relentlessly resourceful but know when to ask for help (scrappy but smart)
  • Think like an owner (have accountability)
  • Act with honesty and empathy (radical candor)
  • Delight people by anticipating their needs (be proactive and thoughtful)
