• Work on front-end, back-end, native mobile and connected device integrations.
• Miga delivers traditional healthcare (telemedicine, labs, pharmacy) through a game like experience (think Candy Crush).
• Co-Founders are seasoned operators who’ve built and grown companies before.

What will I do?

We exist to help people lead the long, healthy lives they deserve, by preventing the next million heart attacks and strokes. Fundamentally that is what you will do, too!  The problem is complex and mind bendingly difficult, but if you’re a purpose-driven individual who likes challenges, then you’ll love working at Miga Health.

As a Software Engineer you will report directly to our Co-Founder (Dre). Dre is a multiple time CTO and software engineer by training and has grown teams and built engineering cultures before. Because of this, we understand the value that software engineers bring to the table. We’re excited for the technical output you will bring, but also for your participation in product decisions alongside the rest of our team.

You will be working on our native mobile application (written in TypeScript using React Native), and may also work on integrating our application with connected devices (e.g. blood pressure monitors, smart watches).

Some of the things you’ll do:

• Write code for our backend, frontend, integrations and infrastructure using TypeScript.
• Make architectural decisions that will be pillars of the engineering organization for years to come.
• Make stack and operating norms decisions that will set the foundation for our engineering team both technically and culturally.
• Set the bar for engineers who join Miga Health, and help to grow the team of software engineers required to make our vision a reality.

What is Miga Health looking for?

tldr; You are excited about early stage startups, and working in a new code repo without much technical debt. You have at least 3 years of real software development work, ideally know TypeScript and React Native. You're comfortable with a fast paced environment, and can handle lots of ambiguity. 

• You have been delivering code to a production environment for 3+ years in a commercial setting with real users.
• Ideally you know TypeScript and React Native, although not a deal breaker.
• You can handle incredible amounts of ambiguity, change, and uncertainty.
• You don’t need to have any experience working in heart health or even healthcare. We welcome anyone who can help us think differently and creatively about the problem space.
• You’re a purpose-driven individual who likes challenges, and wants to be part of building a healthcare future that doesn’t leave anyone behind.
• You’re comfortable asking the hard questions, even when it’s uncomfortable.
• You sweat the pixels on implementation, but don’t let great get in the way of good.
• You work quickly, but push back on timelines when needed.
• You’re a system thinker that considers how decisions impact the company tomorrow.

Does Miga Health support remote work?

We are building an exceptional team and seek out the best talent across the world. We have been remote-first from day one, with people currently based in Austin, Boston, Denver, Melbourne, New York City, Ojai, and San Francisco. For this specific role, we're looking for somebody who is based between Pacific Standard Time and Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC +11, -12, -11, -10, -9, -8)

Who is Miga Health?

At Miga Health, we are building the future of heart health. We exist to help people lead the long, healthy lives they deserve, by preventing the next million heart attacks and strokes.

Cardiovascular disease is responsible for 1 in 3 deaths. What’s crazy is that 80% of premature heart attacks and strokes are preventable, so the opportunity for improvement is astounding. 

Our founders are purpose-driven and values aligned, and we will spend a good portion of our interview process trying to understand where your values lie. We strive everyday to build a culture where people aren’t afraid to ask the hard questions, challenge the unacceptable, and always think about how consumers will feel. 

We’ve just raised a large seed round, and are in that fun phase of early experimentation, which means we’re looking for people who are comfortable with ambiguity, change, and uncertainty. 

What is Miga Health building?

We are building a heart health platform that will combine world-class consumer product with innovative and rigorous healthcare delivery. When we say consumer product, we mean the amazing experiences of Candy Crush Saga, Duolingo, and Headspace. When we say healthcare delivery, we mean telemedicine consultations, pharmacy fulfillment, and diagnostics and labs.

Who is Miga Health’s customer?

We put the consumer at the center of everything we do, constantly asking ourselves the question — “how does this person feel?” 

To that end, we’ve conducted dozens and dozens of interviews with people to learn about their lives living with cardiovascular disease. All these interviews have been recorded and transcribed, and we’ve synthesized them into insights (in Dovetail) that we can share with you as part of any interview process. We’ve also interviewed many primary care physicians and cardiologists.

How does Miga Health approach compensation?

We are big believers in providing excellent compensation to everyone on the team as we build the future of heart health. 

• We offer salaries at the top of the benchmarks you’d find for senior roles at big name companies (from levels.fyi and other sources). 
• We provide equity to all employees regardless of role or location. Importantly, because you’d be one of the first few teammates, the size of any equity grant will be significant.

What benefits does Miga Health offer?

We are embarking on an ambitious journey and are committed to providing generous benefits, even at this early stage. 

• We cover 100% of health, dental, and vision premiums, and 75% of any dependents (for US based employees).
• We provide a 401(k) plan and FSA (for US based employees).
• Work remotely and design your days how you like.
• Face to face offsite in San Francisco every 6-months, with flights and lodging paid for.
• Unlimited PTO, where you’re truly offline — no meetings, messages or work.
• A powerful Macbook Pro to do your best work.
