Senior Frontend Engineer

Are you someone who wants to make the world a better place, who is not content to work for yet another company the world doesn't need?

Our mission
At Diet Doctor, we are a health company that aims to empower people everywhere to dramatically improve their health. We focus on lifestyle interventions - not medication or surgery.

What are the important components of a healthy lifestyle for those with obesity or type 2 diabetes? How can people implement this lifestyle in a sustainable way?

Currently, no major health organization in the world has an effective answer. We aim to change that.

Progress
- We've been profitable for years, are self-funded, and have no VC investment. Instead, our employees are invited to become co-owners via our employee-stock-offering plan.
- We're the largest keto and low-carb site in the world.
- We’re fully funded by our members, which means we don't need to show any ads or sell any physical products.
- We attract about 5 million monthly visits, have 80,000+ paying members, and 50+ employees (from 20+ different nationalities).
- We're among the top 5 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 align our work with our four company values: trustworthiness, simplicity, inspiration, and goodness.

Our goal is to make the world a better place by empowering people everywhere to dramatically improve their health.

We believe building a team of top performers - who live by our values and get great things done fast - will significantly increase our ability to make rapid 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 alongside other like-minded people.
