Job description

We are Mora, a health-tech company located in Southern California.

Reversing Metabolic Diseases with Lifestyle Medicine. Metabolic disease caused by insulin resistance is responsible for millions of deaths by diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and more. The latest CDC estimates that there are over 100 million people in the US who are type 2 diabetic, or pre-diabetic.

Most of these cases are preventable and reversible through what the medical industry is calling lifestyle medicine—prescribed lifestyle changes which improve medical outcomes.

After our CEO saw the power of lifestyle medicine first-hand, we decided to build Mora, an application which helps people reverse their metabolic disease through key lifestyle changes. There's over 50 years of solid science in the field which supports our protocol, and our challenge is to solve the adherence problem.

If you're passionate about health, saving lives, and doing work that truly matters, then we encourage you to join Mora.

You are driven, an owner, a clear communicator, and have high standards. You will not do this work alone. You will be supported by some of the brightest, most passionate, and interesting people you've ever worked with.
