Our Engineering Team

Engineering at Noom is at the heart of building scalable, secure, and reliable systems that power millions of health journeys. Our teams work at the intersection of healthcare, commerce, and behavioral science—designing platforms that make complex clinical and medication experiences feel seamless for users. As we expand Noom Med, our engineering organization is focused on building extensible, high-performance backend systems that enable long-term business growth and unlock new care experiences for our members.

About the Role

As we continue to grow, we’re seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to help scale the Noom Med platform to support multi-medication management and long-term business expansion through 2026 and beyond. In this role, you will help redesign and re-architect our backend systems—evolving them from a single-medication model into a flexible, ecommerce-like, fulfillment-focused platform that supports the full post-purchase lifecycle.

You’ll join a lean, high-impact team and play a critical role in building the next generation of our medication platform. Depending on timing, you may contribute to the MVP of the first version or help lead development of the second iteration of the platform.

You Will

• Redesign and re-architect the Noom Med backend to support multiple concurrent medications per user
• Build scalable systems that support provider visits, prescription management, and pharmacy fulfillment
• Develop backend services optimized for a multi-product, ecommerce-like post-purchase lifecycle
• Expand platform capabilities to allow users to manage and track multiple medications simultaneously
• Contribute heavily to hands-on coding (approximately 70%), with additional ownership in architecture (15%) and code review (15%)
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Growth (purchase flow) and Med Expansion teams to ensure seamless integration across systems
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate development velocity and improve engineering efficiency
• Ensure systems are reliable, secure, and extensible as the platform scales
