The ideal candidate loves building great frontend experiences, but prefers more end-to-end ownership of the product. This includes the frontend code, the backend APIs (and more), and rigorous design + implementation of A/B tests. This person will be the founding engineer of the growth team at Truemed.
Come do the best work of your career and help us transition $150B in healthcare spending towards prevention, before people get sick. Specifically, come start the growth team at Truemed!
Truemed enables patients to use HSAs/FSAs to buy healthy food, exercise and supplements.
There is $150 billion sitting in HSA and FSA accounts. This is under-optimized pre-tax money (~35% savings) Americans can use to buy qualified medical expenses. Healthy food, exercise (classes, equipment, gym membership), and supplements count as qualified medical expenses with a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) tying these items to the prevention/reversal of a specific disease.
We’re building the infrastructure that allows health and wellness merchants (think Peloton, 8 Sleep, Oura Ring, etc) to accept the $150+ billion tied up in HSA and FSA accounts. And by allowing consumers to spend these pre-tax dollars on goods that make them healthier, we’ll incentivize consumers to invest in their health, and begin to reverse the explosion in chronic illness that’s plagued the US the last 50 years.
Justin and Calley are experienced founders on a mission to fix the state of American health. We’ve raised $3M+ from top investors like Long Journey Ventures, Box Group, Weekend Fund, healthcare leaders like Dr. Mark Hyman and key angels like the founders of 8 Sleep, Thrive Market, Sana Benefits, and others.
Whether you’re in engineering, marketing, sales, or customer success, you’ll have a seat at the table as we work to improve nutrition and health outcomes for hundreds of millions of people.
Truemed brings to fruition a goal that many in the wellness field believe is necessary for sustainable health improvement: making healthy choices easier and less expensive.
95% of all medical costs go to people after we are sick. This is so normalized, most don’t realize how insane it is. Few would argue that the purpose of healthcare should be to enable people to be healthy. But this is not how it works. Every institution that impacts our health - from Pharma to hospitals to doctors to insurance - makes money when we are sick and loses money when we are healthy. Health doesn’t happen in a doctor's office. Going to the doctor after you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, cancer or any other chronic condition is like going to the mechanic after you’ve crashed a car. We need to prevent the crash in the first place.
