Lead Software Engineer, Back-End
Nearly 50% of the population is projected to be obese by 2030, and obesity is the number one cause of preventable death in the United States. Half of Americans go on diets every year, and yet only 5% of those dieters actually lose weight.
We wanted something that stopped focusing on short term weight loss and started emphasizing long term weight care. Something backed by science, not just by celebrities. So we found it.
Found is a weight care company that makes weight loss and maintenance achievable by providing an individualized, medically-guided program that leads to lasting results. We carefully consider the biological, psychological, and social contributors to weight and offer a tailored solution for every member.
We’re on a mission to improve people’s overall wellbeing, by making evidence based weight loss accessible & affordable for all. Our vision is to cure the obesity epidemic globally.
