About Euc

We’re making good health last a lifetime

More than 1 billion people globally live with obesity — a major leading indicator of many preventable chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

Eucalyptus (or 'Euc' for short) is the company behind Juniper, one of the world’s largest weight management programs combining GLP-1 medication with a tailored nutrition and exercise programme, supported by our multidisciplinary care team. It is also behind a growing family of digital healthcare clinics (Pilot, Kin, Software, Compound) across men’s health and well-being, fertility, skincare, and preventative health. These clinics create one ecosystem designed to make good health last a lifetime. 🌿

Our published clinical research on Juniper demonstrates that patients in our program are 4x as likely to lose significant weight through their course of treatment. For our other clinics, we apply the same evidence-based philosophy of combining medical science, personalised care, and behavioural insights to improve patient outcomes**.**

Since launching, we’ve grown fast to support millions of patients. In the last 12 months…

• Globally, grew revenue by >130% YoY, while reducing cash burned by 90% YoY, with over $100M USD raised from global investors such as BOND, NewView, Blackbird and Airtree (early backers of companies like Canva, Stripe and AirBnb)
• Grew to over 100,000 monthly active patients globally across our weight management program
• Grew from 4,000 to ~40,000 patients in the UK, and received selective NICE endorsement to provide service to the NHS
• Tailored our offering to over 5,000 patients in Germany and Japan, with a goal to extend our patient base to over 30,000 patients across both markets in 2025

What’s next?

Our goal for the next 3 years is to be supporting 1 million patients globally - to live better for longer - by launching into new conditions, demographics and geographies as we move towards our vision of creating a preventative healthcare ecosystem.

We’re going to build the world’s largest international digital healthcare company. This will be really hard to do, but very rewarding and possibly, the adventure of a lifetime with some of the best operators you will ever work with.If that gets you excited, let’s talk.

• Be a key architectural voice in designing robust and scalable software.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams in product, design, marketing, creative, analytics, and operations to build the best telehealth experiences for our patients
• Build tools for internal Euc employees including doctors, health coaches and the medical operations team (so we ave a very tight feedback loop!)
• Iteratively build new features, balancing rapid prototyping with stability, security, and modularity
• Provide mentorship and knowledge sharing amongst the wider team. Bring your ideas to the table, and help our team run as effectively as possible

• A problem solver at heart. You’re able to work in a fluid and fast paced environment where you may not always have all the information you need
• Ability to ideate on our products. Engineering is able to influence the product direction so we’re building the right things in the right way
• Capable of engaging in considered and productive discourse with others on a regular basis, especially during technical scoping
• Adaptable, sometimes requirements change and we need to be able to move with them
• Several years in a similar role at other startups, scale-ups or software companies under your belt, using elements of our tech stack.
• A Fullstack Software Engineer, capable and willing to contribute to both frontend and backend code bases. Ideally a specialist in one
• You own what you ship and have been involved in the full product lifecycle. You have experience leading projects, from discovery, design, architecture and system design, all the way through to work breakdown, implementation and monitoring.
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills

• We’re on a quest to build a robust, scalable, configurable, multi-brand platform (that’s also enjoyable to work on!) on which we can solve the world’s biggest healthcare challenges, and you can be a pivotal player in that journey.
  • We’re a 40 person engineering team, so you can have genuine input on what we build and how we build it
• We have a high performance culture
  • We have a high bar for talent, so you’ll get to learn from some of the best engineers in the industry
  • We write as many low quality memes as we do high quality PRs
  • We optimise for velocity and deploy to production hundreds of times a month. Once you merge your code, it’s in prod in minutes
• You’ll get to work with a modern tech stack that we’re always improving. If something isn’t working for us, we’ll iterate until we get it right and everyone on the team is encouraged to help refine it.
  • Frontend: React, React Native + Expo, TypeScript, Apollo, Tailwind
  • Backend: Node (TypeScript) and Go microservices, Federated GraphQL, gRPC, Protobufs, Pub/Sub and Postgres, hosted on GCP Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
• You’ll work on interesting engineering challenges:
  • Euc has a large appetite for product development, so we have a roadmap of innovative, greenfield features to work on
  • We've been running microservices smoothly in production for a few years, but there is still a lot of complex business logic in our legacy mono-repo to understand, break down, improve and port across.
  • We strive for efficiency and invest heavily in internal tooling to improve developer experience
• We’ll invest in your growth, development and career
  • When we introduced Go microservices we invested in upskilling the whole team in a new language
  • No matter which direction you want to take your career, we’ll provide opportunities for you
  • Every engineer has a yearly Learning and Development budget that they can use for courses, books, conferences, anything to help you learn.

At Eucalyptus, we value individuals from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, and we embrace the unique qualities each person brings. When you apply, please let us know of any reasonable adjustments you may need during the interview process.
