What's it like working here?

We're on a mission to change the way people engage with their health for the better, helping them to live long and prosper.

We are now a team of 12 based in London, with a fast growing consumer subscription product as well as a partner platform and a lot of exciting stuff behind the scenes and in the pipeline. There are lots of problems we work on that aren't immediately obvious: How do we optimise pricing between multiple labs? How do we make the physical testing process as simple and easy as possible? How do we use genomics and wearable data to add context to customers' results? Everyone is given a lot of autonomy to tackle problems that intrigue them, and collaborative support to implement solutions.

We may still be at the beginning of our journey, but we put a lot of emphasis, time and resource into culture and creating a supportive and inspiring environment. We place a lot of value on qualities such as being humble - it is okay to say you "don't know" or to make mistakes. Startups are hard enough as it is, we try and bring as much fun and weirdness to the office as we can, whether that be turning the office into a smoothie bar, or having office cook-offs. While we are a health tech company, we are also all human. We like to go for breakfasts, burgers and beers together! We're looking for people from all sorts of backgrounds, who are unified around our mission of improving the way people engage with their health.
