Data Engineer (Mid-level)

Our mission is to give everyone access to personalised healthcare.

Nearly three-quarters of the global population are affected by chronic disease (WHO), yet most healthcare innovation targets the wealthy - with concierge clinics, luxury wearables, and $1,000+ blood tests out of reach for most.

Human Health was founded by two ex-Canva product leaders, and to change that - making precision healthcare radically accessible for the 99%, not just biohackers or billionaires. Human helps people living with chronic conditions like ADHD, autoimmune disease, long COVID, anxiety, and rare illnesses track their health, build a full medical record, and get personalised insights - all while contributing to one of the world’s largest living datasets on chronic illness.

With over 150,000 users and fast-growing adoption, Human is turning real-world health data into research at scale - reshaping treatment pathways and accelerating medical breakthroughs for everyone.

You’ve leant into the joyful chaos of an early stage startup, jumping in and helping out where you can, even if a task isn’t related to the core of your role.
