Data Scientist

Do you want to make the world a better place - to be part of a team helping people reach their potential by solving one of the most pressing health issues of modern times?

Our mission
We’re ending the struggles with food.



Today’s food environment has caused a global epidemic of poor metabolic health and excess body weight. Most people in the developed world are affected.

This drives all the major chronic diseases that lead to premature death, or reduce people’s quality of life and potential: heart disease, cancer, dementia, stroke, and more.

Meanwhile, food advice is very confusing. The common advice to eat less and run more does not work: 95% of people fail within a few years. Existing products still use this failed approach and are little more than glorified calculators.

This is a massive and unsolved problem - the most significant health problem in the world.

We are building a product that will change that and end the struggle of food decisions.

At its core, our product is built on three fundamental pillars:

- A revolutionary food-effectiveness algorithm calculates the foods most effectively improve metabolic health and weight.

- An AI-powered food-match system that guides you to foods you love, that also helps you reach your goals. We’ll save you hours of food planning and decisions every week.

- A health score that shows you how metabolically healthy you are - and what to do about it.



We’re about foods you love. Foods that also help you achieve your health goals, increase your strength and energy, and help you reach your full potential.

And the more you use our product, the better it gets at supporting you.

Progress
- We built the largest keto and low-carb site in the world. Now we’re taking our product and app to the next level, based on the latest science, making it entirely flexible for any dietary preferences.

- We’ve been fully funded by our members and have 60+ employees (20+ different nationalities).

- We’ve just taken our first round of investment (https://www.eu-startups.com/2022/03/swedish-diet-doctor-picks-up-e3-5-million-to-revolutionize-the-view-of-healthy-food/) to strengthen our team significantly and speed up the creation of our updated product.

- We're among the top-ranked nutrition websites in the world on Trustpilot (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/dietdoctor.com) and have strong Glassdoor (https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Diet-Doctor-Reviews-E2389502.htm) ratings.



Our culture
At Diet Doctor, we aim to always live our four company values: trustworthiness, simplicity, inspiration, and goodness.

We exist to make the world a better place by empowering people everywhere to dramatically improve their health.

We believe that building a team of top performers - who live by our values and get great things done fast - will significantly increase our ability to progress toward our purpose.

That’s why we're passionate about building a world-class team. Few things in life are as exciting and rewarding as working toward meaningful change as part of a fantastic team.
