Senior Software Engineer – Backend

Amura’s Vision

We believe that the most under-appreciated route to unlocking human potential is by building a healthier body and through it, a better brain. A healthier brain can think sharper, feel deeper, and solve problems that today feel impossible. Billions of healthier brains, sitting in healthier bodies, can tackle complex global challenges and build a world that is more prosperous, more humane, and more beautiful than anything we’ve seen before.

We find this future exhilarating and our mission is to accelerate it. Everything we build, from our health programs to our technology platform, is designed to help people across the world realize the best version of themselves.
