Job Description

Founded in 2020 and based in Silicon Valley, Empo Health is a seed-funded, VC-backed, and NSF-supported startup developing revolutionary in-home health monitoring products.

Empo Health’s first product, the FDA-listed Empo Footprint, is an in-home foot-imaging scale that helps doctors and patients monitor for early signs of diabetic foot ulcers. By helping them identify foot complications and risk factors before they escalate into more serious issue, Empo's product aims to assist clinicians with preventing amputations and saving lives.

As a critical member of our small, fast-paced team, you will work closely with the founders and other early team members. You should be comfortable evaluating the execution of existing processes, suggesting new processes, and collaborating across a variety of team functions.

If you’re passionate about remote care and helping prevent the worst outcomes for diabetic patients, then we’d love to hear from you!

  • Participate in code reviews and establish maintainable architecture for long-term product scalability.

  • Contribute to embedded Linux platform work.

  • Document software architecture, interfaces, and test strategy to support a regulated medical-device environment.

  • Continue use and support of our 3rd party over-the-air software updater and device monitor.
