Job description

About WellTheory

WellTheory is a digital health company helping people with autoimmune conditions take control of their health through personalized care, nutrition guidance, and ongoing coaching. We're a team of 50+ passionate people who believe better care starts with better relationships. We're also building one of the most AI-forward organizations in healthcare — not by replacing our team with AI, but by expanding what every person here is capable of.

About the Role

WellTheory is looking for an Implementations Engineer to join our fully-remote team. This is a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a mission-driven company working to promote better health outcomes for people with autoimmune disease — building the insurance and data infrastructure at the core of our business and helping new partners go live. You likely have 3-5+ years of experience as a software engineer. Our current stack includes JavaScript, TypeScript, React, React Native, Node, Postgres, and GCP — though you don't need experience with every piece; we're confident an experienced engineer can ramp up quickly. We're looking for someone with strong software engineering fundamentals, strong written and verbal communication, and experience making foundational technical decisions at the 0-to-1 stage. As a small team, we're all generalists who pick up new challenges — we want someone who can pick a problem and solve it.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and build the insurance and data infrastructure that powers eligibility, verification, and claims

• Work directly with new employer, health plan, and channel partners during implementation — collaborating hands-on to get each one live quickly and reliably

• Make foundational technical decisions as part of a small, generalist team building at the 0-to-1 stage

• Use AI tools to move faster and scale your impact as an individual contributor

• Write clear documentation so teammates on our fully-remote team can ramp up easily

You Might Be a Great Fit If You...

• Are customer-centric. You are singularly focused on customer needs throughout the entire software development life cycle.

• Have experience in making foundational technical decisions at an early stage. You’ve built products or large features from scratch and know how to navigate the murky startup waters.

• Are a strong written communicator. Since we are a small team and fully remote, creating documentation to help others ramp up easily will be key.

• Are battle-tested. You nerd out on building robust systems that help provide consistent value, and you have had to launch & maintain such systems in a production environment with real users for an extended period of time.

• Can scale yourself. You’re skilled at using AI tools to augment your impact as an individual contributor.

• Have deep empathy for the autoimmune experience. You don't need to have an autoimmune condition, but you can convey genuine understanding of the lived patient experience.

• Have a beginner's mindset. You love learning, ask questions without fear of judgment, and stay open-minded about new approaches.

• Are unreasonably relentless. You\'ve been called a "force of nature" — persistence is your middle name.

Bonus Points

• You've worked in healthcare or really care about driving health outcomes in the autoimmune or women\'s health space

What We Offer

• A team that genuinely cares about each other and the members we serve

• A fully remote company that gathers every year for an annual retreat

• A base salary range of $140,000 - $160,000 with meaningful equity and benefits. Placement within our range depends on directly relevant skills and experiences you bring to the role.

This position requires current work authorization in the United States. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship at this time.

At WellTheory, we're committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic team — so if you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't check every box, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might be exactly who we\'re looking for.

WellTheory is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
