Eli Health is making continuous hormone monitoring possible so users can attain their daily and long-term health goals. No more waiting days to track key biomarkers, now you get actionable results in minutes. Eli’s flagship product, the Hormometer™, is the first instant hormone monitoring platform that delivers results from saliva to mobile app anytime, anywhere.

Developed over six years of R&D, over 2,000 iterations, and backed by a dozen patent-pending innovations, Eli’s award-winning platform turns hormone levels into measurable signals you can track and improve. Just as the thermometer and glucometer have transformed health for millions, Eli is poised to be the next major evolution in health monitoring technology.

This is a senior hands-on engineering role at the center of our product.

You will own the technical direction of our consumer mobile application end-to-end, from the React Native front end to the supporting infrastructure. This role involves managing a small team of experienced developers, of which you will be a contributing member. One of your main responsibilities will be to set the bar and increase the engineering maturity of the team. The product is live and growing rapidly, so the next 6-18 months are especially critical. We are looking for someone who has already scaled a consumer application in a similar situation and environment.

You will report directly to our CTO and work closely with our product and machine learning teams.

• Team

  • Foster technical excellence and continued growth through direct mentorship, system-level guidance, and code-level feedback.

  • Contribute to hiring as the team grows.

• Technical leadership

  • Set and uphold engineering standards across the full stack, including mobile and back end, spanning architecture, code quality, and release practices.

  • Lead planning and sprint execution while helping to unblock the team.

  • Own uptime, stability, and the systems needed to catch issues before users do.

  • Drive the infrastructure, observability, and reliability work required to support a growing user base without repeated incidents or regressions.

• Hands-on development

  • Write and review code regularly.

  • Improve whole-stack reliability by tightening error instrumentation, health monitoring, and deployment safeguards.

  • Work directly with our multidisciplinary team on how the data flows from the Hormometer hardware into the application.

• Quality and velocity

  • Uphold quality-first standards and practices.

  • Increase issue discovery and resolution throughput.

  • Improve release confidence through improved testing, monitoring, and deployment discipline.

• You have 7+ years of software engineering experience in a senior or technical lead capacity.

• You have built and shipped nontrivial consumer mobile applications in production with 1,000+ active paying users.

• You have a strong sense of ownership and accountability for the systems and responsibilities under your care.

• You are comfortable working across the stack, from low-level implementation details to higher-level system architecture design.

• You have strong, recent React Native experience.

• You have extensive experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, release workflows, and monitoring.

• You are comfortable in fast-moving environments where the roadmap and priorities change.

• You’ll be part of the core team developing and commercializing the first product that monitors hormonal data daily and over a lifetime.

• You’ll join the early-stage startup phase and have a wide-reaching impact in a constantly evolving, fast-paced environment.

• You’ll be in an environment where people drive their own work, think creatively about open-ended problems, and solve them proactively.

• You’ll get health insurance (medical, dental, vision, and more) to ensure you and your family stay physically and mentally at your best.

• You and your +1 will have unlimited free access to the Bota Bota spa in Montreal to recharge.
