About LifestyleRx

LifestyleRx is pioneering the future of virtual healthcare, focusing on Type 2 Diabetes reversal. Our goal is to deliver 2M diabetic remissions, return 12M years of life to patients, and offset more than $250B in healthcare costs.

LifestyleRx is backed by Y Combinator, Susa Ventures and Funders Club.

Type 2 Diabetes and Prediabetes affect more than 30% of Canadians. Patients with Type 2 Diabetes have a 6 year shorter life expectancy and are at much higher risk for cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline. However, for many patients, Type 2 Diabetes is reversible. By implementing lifestyle changes with the support of a care team, patients can achieve diabetic remission and regain their full metabolic health.

Our program is covered by provincial health insurance in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. We hope to launch LifestyleRx in every remaining Canadian province in 2025. We also have an early presence in the US.

As we expand our reach, we are looking for passionate people to join our team who are excited about making a significant impact in healthcare.

Position: Senior Software Developer (Full Stack)

Location: St. Thomas, ON (In-person, see more info below)

Salary: $160,000-$200,000 + equity (depending on experience), with 4 weeks vacation and health benefits

Role Overview

As one of the first developers at LifestyleRx, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the technology used by our physicians and patients every day. You will collaborate closely with our CTO to design, develop, and enhance the virtual care delivery tools used by our physicians, patients, and partners.

• Proficiency in a high-level programming language, with preference for past experience with any component of our stack.

• Desire to learn and to expand skills — both in the scientific/clinical domain and in software development.

• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.

• Self-motivated, high ownership, low ego; desire to work on a fast-paced, intense, fun team.

In-person

• This is a fully in-person position at our office in St. Thomas, ON (near London, ON).  You would be the third member of our growing team in this office, alongside our CTO.

• We are seeking committed individuals who already live in the area or who would relocate here - we aren’t looking for super-commuters. If you relocate to St. Thomas there is a $5,000 relocation bonus available.

• Everyone has their own office with a door - no open concepts here.

• St. Thomas is one of the fastest growing cities in Ontario, and is home to the future Volkswagen EV Battery Plant. It is a 15 minute drive to Port Stanley and Lake Erie and 20 minutes to the City of London. If you would be relocating to St. Thomas for this position, we would be happy to show you around and help you find a great place to live. 

• We believe building in-person is a huge strategic advantage, and we hope you’ll join us. We form tighter bonds, build a stronger culture, and move faster since we're all working from one location.
