Backend Software Developer

We’re on a mission to solve the metabolic health crisis. Poor metabolic health is having a drastic affect on people globally. In the US alone, 88 million American adults are pre-diabetic, and 84% of those people aren’t aware of it. By 2030, the medical costs & losses in productivity associated with diabetes are expected to exceed $600B.

First and foremost, we're looking for people who are excited about what we're doing—you don't need to know anything about metabolic health, but should be excited to learn. We're building in an entirely new space, so you'll be able to use creativity to help us solve problems and delight our customers.

Our back end web stack is Node/Typescript, Postgres, Redis, GraphQL, and deployed using Aptible and AWS. We use React Native and GraphQL for mobile, as well as React and tRPC on the front end.

As a backend software engineer, here are some common role responsibilities:

  • Design and implement maintainable backend services, including data processing pipelines, APIs, etc
  • Help us scale to process billions of data points per month
  • Build integrations between us and our partners (physicians, coaches, other wearable platforms, etc)

This list is not exhaustive at all, and you'll have a lot of autonomy over your work. Our team is composed of a diverse group of product-minded and mission-driven engineers.

  1. Love thinking broadly and creatively about problems in order to solve them efficiently.

  8. Experience with TypeScript or JavaScript (or excited to learn TypeScript), and using/building GraphQL APIs.
  9. Experience with PostgreSQL or a similar RDBMS.
  10. Experience designing maintainable systems, APIs, and integrations.
  11. Happy writing documentation so that others can ramp up super easily and you're never a single-source-of-failure.

Levels helps you see how food affects your health with personalized insights so you can optimize your nutrition and activity.

Gain insight through personalized data.

Levels provides real-time feedback on how your diet and lifestyle choices impact your metabolic health through biosensors like continuous glucose monitors.

Metabolism is life.

Your metabolic health regulates your sleep, appetite, weight, and energy levels. Levels helps you optimize it all so you can live a longer, fuller, healthier life.

Learn about your metabolic health through real-time, personalized data.

  1. THE CGMS: Your continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is a small device that measures your blood glucose in real-time.

  2. THE APP: The Levels app studies your diet and activity choices to suggest changes to improve your health.

  3. THE INSIGHTS: With your biometric data and in-app insights, you’ll soon understand how food affects your health.

The pillars of your metabolism.

Everybody has health goals. Whether you’re tuning your diet, optimizing your exercise, or just trying to stay healthy, monitoring your blood glucose with Levels can help.

Nutrition

Your metabolism is unique. Your favorite “healthy” foods may be holding you back from feeling your best.

With Levels, you can learn exactly how your diet affects your glucose so you can adjust what, when, and how much to eat for better mental clarity and athletic performance.

Fitness

To stay energized throughout your workouts, you have to know how to fuel your body properly.

Levels helps you eat the right food at the right time to help you improve your metabolic flexibility—which can give you stable energy outside of the gym.

Longevity

By monitoring what your diet does to your body in real time, you can aim to keep your blood glucose stable to maximize long-term health.

Levels provides a direct view into how your food and lifestyle choices affect your blood sugar so you can make choices that may help ward off chronic disease.
