## Job description

## 🎉 JOIN OUR TEAM AT VITAL

## 👉 TLDR;

👩‍💻 We build developer tools for the fastest growing health companies so they can provide personalized, preventative care to millions of people. 🎉 We raised our $2.9m Seed round from world-class investors and we’ve spent the last year building products that our customers love. We've signed some of the largest companies in health and wellness with a small but mighty team. 👥 To keep up with the market pull and develop our AI product, we are rapidly hiring!

## 🩺 VITAL

Vital is building the future of healthcare - one that is data-driven and personalized. We raised our Seed round from world-class investors like Point Nine, 20VC, YC and 10+ renowned founders turned angels. We’re a team of AI, ML specialists and health techies who have worked at companies like Apple, SpaceX, Ro, Lyft & Babylon Health. We’ve spent the last year building products our customers love and now need motivated people to help us rapidly scale and meet demand over the next few months 🎉

## 🎯 VISION

Data has changed the world, transforming numerous sectors. In e-commerce, data revolutionized retail by enabling personalized shopping experiences, predicting purchasing behaviour and tailoring recommendations In banking, data led to personalized financial services, improved risk management, fraud detection and boosted consumer engagement.

The same is yet to be done in healthcare. The US has a health epidemic. 50% of the US population has a chronic disease and 86% of healthcare costs are attributed to this crisis. Combined with a shortage of healthcare professionals and rising healthcare costs there is an urgent need for cheaper, personalized and proactive healthcare. With more and more data being collected from wearables, lab tests and patient-doctor exchanges, we’re entering an era of healthcare where data is abundant.

At Vital, we’re building data infrastructure that serves as the backbone for the digital health industry. Our platform provides developers with the tools they need to access, aggregate and utilize health data from health records, devices and labs effectively. We're empowering creators at the forefront of longevity, fertility, precision medicine and more to leverage this data to provide personalized, preventative care to millions of people.

## 🏆 MAKE YOUR MARK

🫓 A Truly Flat Hierarchy: Spar and learn directly from Maitham and experienced operators across Europe and the US, who have scaled businesses before. We value the opinions and ideas of our entire team. 📣 Influence Fundamental Decisions: As part of the early team, you'll have a visible impact on all aspects of Vital. You have the chance to make decisions typically reserved for leadership at other companies and ship products that impact millions of people. ⚡️ Autonomy and Ownership: Work on the most crucial problems at the company, craft and implement solutions. Whether it's owning a new feature, a product, building a team or owning critical processes. 📈 Career Defining Growth: Being part of a company from the start gives you a unique reputation in the market. You're part of a handful of employees who directly impacted the business. Joining Vital is the perfect springboard to skip steps on a career ladder, as we'll give you as much opportunity as you can handle. 💰 Meaningful Upside: We've stayed disciplined on valuation and how much we've raised to ensure our team benefit from very attractive equity packages and reap the benefits of building and scaling Vital.

## 💪 OUR VALUES

🤝 Nothing is impossible, together: At our core, we are a team of optimists, driven by the belief that a better future within health is not just possible, but within our grasp. We believe no problem or challenge is too hard. In fact, we get energy from tackling hard problems that impact the trillion-dollar healthcare system.

💨 Make it happen: Pro-active people are the most successful at Vital. Seek ownership, take the initiative to own problems and solutions, and make it happen. We never say "let's meet next week to discuss", we default to action.

🔍 Infinitely Curious: Being "Infinitely Curious" means we like to deep dive and understand the pains our customers. It's this curiosity that pushes us to dig deep, even into the tough, unglamorous tasks that make a difference. We believe true innovation isn't only about the big leaps forward; it's also in the small, steady steps of schlep work.

🗣 Opinionated with zero ego: In our team, the best idea always wins, regardless of its source. You will thrive in the company if you leave your ego at the door. The best people are "super unblockers" i.e. people who take work off your plate rather than piling it on, regardless of seniority and position. We minimize management and want everyone to have the ability to self-manage and prioritize their tasks with the business in mind.

👏 High bar Humans: We recognize talent is the most important thing for the company's success. We are a team, not a family and want to work with equally talented individuals. Our team is encouraged to express their opinions boldly, engage in open, direct discussions, and address concerns immediately.

## 😎 PERKS

A few highlights 💸 Top percentile compensation package: We want our early employees to feel a sense of ownership building Vital. Vital is all our business. 🌎 Quarterly company-sponsored offsites abroad: Think sushi making, surfing or clay pigeon shooting in places like Portugal or Morocco. ⌚️ Wearable of your choice: Eyeing up the new Oura, get it on us. 🧘‍♀️ Monthly wellness allowance: Being a health company, we want our employees to prioritise their health, so we'll cover your wellness or gym membership.
