Want to challenge yourself at a high-growth startup and make a difference in the world? Join a company that cares deeply about engineering and that's already making a difference to > 100k people's lives.
Why we exist
We're on a mission to unlock the full potential of the mind to improve our health and lives.
The control centre of the body, your mind, influences everything from temperature regulation to pain perception and emotional control, yet the healthcare system often overlooks it.
We're changing that.
At Mindset Health, we're building hypnosis-based digital therapeutics (therapy apps) to help a billion people improve their health with their minds. Many misconceptions surround hypnosis, but there's extensive and robust evidence showing it's a powerful but underused therapeutic tool [1].
Think guided meditation, but developed by doctors and focused on health outcomes.
In just a few years, we've already helped 100,000+ people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, menopause and smoking addiction (with Nerva, Evia & Finito), have a team of 30 people and have raised tens of millions of dollars from world-leading investors, including King River, Y Combinator, James Beshara, Fifty Years, Giant Leap, Alberts and the Mr Yum & Linktree founders.
Now we're building out our team of Australia's best to help millions of people, and we're looking for an exceptional software engineer.
What you'll be doing
- Your day to day activities will consist of solution design and hands-on software development – working closely with design and product teams to deliver features and functionality to our customers all over the world
- Influence the product roadmap based on a data-informed feedback cycle with users. Bringing new ideas to the table concerning everything from feature development, process improvement, and product suggestions
- Taking charge of your career development by seizing opportunities to work across different teams, technologies, and roles. A chance to wear more hats and learn more than at a large company
- Developing solutions you’ve designed from the ground up through to deployment into production
- Being responsible for the reliability of your solutions, including monitoring and responding to incidents. We care about reliability greatly, as your code is going to be used by thousands of people

- Building awesome things in general
Who we're looking for
- 1+ years of commercial experience as a software engineer
- Experience with React Native or React (current React Native stack)
- Working collaboratively with team members and communicating effectively
- Ability to learn quickly. You exhibit curiosity and work harder to understand and solve problems. You are open to feedback and experimenting as a means of learning.
- The ability to self-start given only a high-level direction and work autonomously to deliver great software at very high throughput.
- Strong attention to product UI/UX; a burning desire to make sure the things you create look and feel great.
- Fast execution: You have a bias for action and a preference to get things done.
Nice to have
- Experience with data management, specifically using Segment.
- Experience working with Firebase noSQL database.
- Experience building consumer/health apps, understanding the complexities behind a simple product
- An understanding of how to collaborate with designers using programs such as Figma and Sketch
