Software Engineer, Frontend

Salary: $145.5K - $187.9K Location Type: Remote Employment Type: FullTime

Position Overview

Virta Health is on a mission to transform type 2 diabetes and weight-loss care. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. Join us on our mission to reverse diabetes and obesity in one billion people.

Working as a Frontend Software Engineer in the Care Delivery Squad is an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of healthcare innovation. You'll be directly involved in leveraging technology and data to fundamentally reshape how care is delivered, rather than just digitizing existing processes. This role allows you to contribute to a mission-driven team focused on designing and scaling a more efficient and effective care model. Ultimately, your work will help streamline care delivery, improve member outcomes, and enhance care team capacity, making a tangible impact on people's lives.

Responsibilities

• Spearhead the development of impactful, medium to large-scale initiatives within Virta's Care Delivery systems, leveraging modern technologies like React, GraphQL, and TypeScript to bring innovative solutions to life.
• Drive innovation by collaborating with a diverse dream team of product, design, clinical, applied AI, and data analytics experts to craft and launch new features that will redefine our care delivery platform.
• Become a key problem-solver by troubleshooting, debugging, and resolving critical issues, ensuring a seamless and exceptional experience for both our members and the care delivery platform.
• Elevate our engineering culture by partnering with fellow engineers, championing best practices, and collectively pushing the boundaries of high-quality software development.

90 Day Plan

Within your first 90 days at Virta, we expect you will do the following:

• Hit the Ground Running: Dive in and immediately contribute by coding and launching multiple key features with robust test coverage, directly enhancing our platform.
• Elevate the Team: Become a catalyst for growth by actively sharing your expertise, collaborating through pair programming, and providing insightful feedback in code reviews to inspire and uplift your fellow engineers.
• Drive Innovation: Identify and spearhead at least one significant process or product improvement, leaving your mark on how our engineering team operates and excels.

Requirements

Must-Haves

• Proven Experience (3.5+ years): You've been in the trenches, actively building and shipping web applications using React or similar modern frontend frameworks.
• API Integration Expertise: You're comfortable and experienced working alongside backend engineers to seamlessly integrate REST or GraphQL APIs into frontend applications.
• User-Centric & Design-Focused: You possess a keen eye for design, a genuine passion for software craftsmanship, and deep empathy for users. This means you can critically evaluate designs and thoughtfully consider their impact on the end-user experience, not just the underlying code.

Company Values

Virta’s company values drive our culture, so you’ll do well if:

• You put people first and take care of yourself, your peers, and our patients equally.
• You have a strong sense of ownership and take initiative while empowering others to do the same.
• You prioritize positive impact over busy work.
• You have no ego and understand that everyone has something to bring to the table regardless of experience.
• You appreciate transparency and promote trust and empowerment through open access of information.
