About the Role
As Founding Engineer on the Deeper Engagement team, you will define the technical architecture that enables Healf to connect wearable data, behavioural signals, and personalized engagement at scale. This 0‑to‑1 role offers direct access to the CTO and founder.
What You Will Do
- Define and build the technical architecture for the Deeper Engagement team from the ground up
- Own wearable data integrations, backend APIs, and the mobile experience end‑to‑end
- Make key infrastructure decisions—stack, data model, and system design choices that will shape the product for years
- Partner with product and the CTO to translate the engagement vision into a production system that evolves continuously
- Set the standard for how the team builds, ships, and iterates as it grows
What We Are Looking For
- 0‑to‑1 experience: You have built something meaningful from scratch and understand what that demands
- Strong Python backend engineering skills
- React Native or equivalent mobile development experience
- High ownership: when a problem is yours, you see it through completely
- Comfort with ambiguity—able to work from a vision rather than a detailed spec
Nice to Have
- Wearable or health data integration experience with devices like Oura, Whoop, or Garmin
- Background in consumer health, fitness tech, or habit‑forming mobile products
- Experience building systems that personalize based on biometric or behavioral data
