We’re Nudge Care, a fast-moving startup on a mission to reinvent how people can build healthier lives, not just for today, but for the years ahead.
We’re building a product that helps people live longer and better: combining science-backed plans, wearables, labs, and real expert guidance in a beautifully simple app. Think Apple Health meets behavioral science, built on smart data, research, and actual, usable routines.
We’ve got:
early traction: a waitlist of 150 users, with 40 already completing the Nudge protocol.
exceptional backing: supported by top angels, including startup CTOs, successful founders (both current and exited), and big-tech executives from Greece and abroad.
a bold vision: we'd love to walk you through it on an intro call.
and now we’re ready to expand our founding team with the first full-time (human) engineer.
About The Role
You’ll be our first full-time engineering hire, ideally a full-stack dev (Node.js + React) with a strong backend mindset. You’ll work side-by-side with the founders (ex-product builders at high-growth startups) and 2 freelancers already laying down the MVP.
Responsibilities:
Architect and scale our core mobile app and website (backend first, frontend next)
Ship features end-to-end, fast and clean
Work with product, design, and medical advisors to build something super useful
Build internal tools and feedback systems to speed up iteration
Plug in AI tools where they make us better, smarter, faster
Grow meaningfully, in your role and beyond
About You
You know your stuff: 3+ years of experience building full-stack products (Node.js, React, PostgreSQL or similar)
You lean backend: You enjoy designing data models, APIs, and scalable logic
You get startups: No playbook? No problem. You will help us write it.
You’re excited about this space: You’re not a health nut, but the mission should resonate
You use AI tools: Not just Sonnet 3.7 on the side, you actively explore and adopt tools that make you faster and better
You want a seat at the table: We are open to high-equity packages or cofounder-level discussions if the fit is right
You’re based in Greece (Athens preferred): We have a hybrid setup but meet IRL frequently
Bonus Points
You’ve worked with AI integrations, architectures, or LLM workflows
You’ve built, broken, and shipped, side projects or 0→1 products
You care about quality of life and how habits shape it
You have solved this

Why work with us
Competitive salary: tailored to your experience and the stage we're at, with the promise to grow as we scale.
Significant equity: we believe in ownership; there's no cap for the right person who wants to build with us.
A unique opportunity to transform healthcare, shape the future of human-machine collaboration, and tackle frontier engineering challenges
and also:
Direct collaboration with the founders
The freedom to define problems, not just solve tickets
Quick execution with just enough process
The chance to help build a huge brand, not just work under one
And yes, we’re fun (most days): we take our work seriously, but never ourselves.
How to Apply
Send us your CV, portfolio, or LinkedIn/GitHub/Twitter profiles (whatever you’re most proud of), along with a few lines on why you're the right person, to: work@nudge.care.
PS: We don’t mind AI-assisted applications. Just be transparent and add value beyond the tool.
